Is That A Ferrari Behind Me?

I pulled over and let the car by. It's a Nissan GT-R. I waited a few minutes and pulled out when I saw more cars coming. I'm soon behind the Nissan. Pretty slow to the top when the Nissan pulls up the road I was going. I love being behind fast cars on a tight curvy road.

I started slowing down at the first curve. The county had dumped sand on the road when it snowed earlier in the week. I can stay in a tire track, but it slows me down. Plus, even some of the tire tracks had sand. The Nissan started pulling ahead. I almost lost it when I came in too fast and my back tire caught some sand. I saved it and caught up to him when he slowed to turn. That was a quick car.

I googled it when I got home: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...gt_r_road_test. 480 HP at the wheels, and 0-60 in 3.3 seconds for only $70K.

So you live in town here??..We'll have to get together!

Fine. I actually ride time machines: A 79 GS1000E and a 90 CBR1000F. I live in NW Denver and like to ride Lookout Mountain two or three times a week. I also like Golden Gate Canyon when I have more time.

I passed through downtown Golden today on my way up Lookout Mt. There were a hundred Harleys at the Buffalo Rose, and about 20 R1's or R6's by that pizza place on Washington. What and where do you ride?

I saw the GT-R at the Oklahoma City car show last weekend.. it's not the most beautiful car, but if someone gave it to me, I wouldn't say no.

There's at least one at the hospital I work at. It's a nice enough car, but it looks like a well done ricer without the obnoxious fart can.
