turbo accord, h22+boost

my favorite was the STi tho, felt faster then the accord, i ve ridden in a handful of fast boosted cars and a handful of fast N/A's

IMO, if I have boost ill drive slower, thus be more safe cause with boost, it just feels like your driving fast as a mother

My first was allen's supra. Mike Issac's was doing some body work on it. Well changing the color and it was all over for me. I knew my miata had to be boosted. Well I did that and juiced it and there went the motor. Now I have my Buick and couldn't be happier, well yes I can. I went out to dahlonega tonight to work on the car, adjusted my fuel pressure and tweaked a few other things and took my boss out for a ride. Next thing I know the boost gauge is pegged out at 30psi. What a great night tonight. Now I got to get it back on the dyno.

I had ridden in Tray's WRX and his STi, those helped. They are fast as shit. But the first time I got to drive a boosted car was my friend, Chris' 400whp 300zx. That bitch was flat out FAST. In high boost, I was pegged in the seat so hard, that the only way I could move was by hitting the clutch, to break the force. I was in love at that point. I wanted that car so bad.

rode in a friends dad's twin turbo dodge stealth... It had no BOV's nothing.... i dont even remember hearing the turbo spool up... or acknowledging it.... it was just a fast car all-together... The first non-stock boosted car i drove was a friends boosted old-skool camaro.

My first time was at a local autocross in a mildly modified MR2 Turbo with a setup suspension. The person driving was an SCCA Autocross National Champion. That ride made me very happy in the pants. :D That is also why I have an MR2 turbo today. :goodjob:

i don't remember the 1st car, but one i do remember well was a M3 boosted 700hp and it hit me in the chest everytime he shifted... that was the best feeling in the world (kinda like banging that hot chick in highschool :D )

back in like 1992 - 1995 when I was still in elementary and middle school

1986 Merkur XR4Ti was a family caR ( my moms )

and holy shit - for a blow through T3 - it had some spunk. I really loved the fact how you'd be driving and like @ 3500rpm the turbo would just boost out of NOWHERE - no warning, no lag signs, just taking off. I miss that car. 5 or 6 years later it was test driving a 1987 Mitsubishi Starion - 7 months later was finally buying my first boosted car :D

First time driving one was a JWT Z32, 450hp or so...Drove several NA's...at least a dozen then got a chance to boost at 15+lbs :yumyum:

Ed the Tuner has one, i haven't had a chance to talk to him about it...i'm real curious if he's modded it at all

First boosted car I drove was my G35 after getting the APS kit installed. It was raining so I was scared to punch it but I just had to know how it felt.. punched it once and my reaction was "oh sh*t" about 50 times. From now on any performance car I buy will be boosted.

my first time was in a 98' GSX or GST, not sure which one it was, but man that shit is great, I love boost just as much as anyone else, but I can't see myself boosting my ride, I prefer N/A all the way. :)

My first boosted car was my moms Turbo Z31 which she traded in for a N/A Z32 2+2 ... My first boosted car I drove was my friends modded 1st gen GSX ... It was fast but nowhere near some of yalls stories (450whp, 700whp, 500whp)

my first was a GS-T eclipse, i was checkin out some cars on a used car lot and they said to bring it back in a few minutes. I would have bought it too but there was some body damage but yeah, i loved boost from then on.

favorite boosted car would have had to been my own, i've been in faster but i just loved the way my old car was tuned or rather lack there of.

06 Evo MR, that sexy ass awd beast is what popped my cherry. Right after that i had to get one. Thats why the civic is FOR SALE vtec will never come close to boosting at 22psi.

I was with Dan the day we bought his 1st Supra. We bought it from this guy in Miami. It was already a little done up (single turbo and stuff). I think it used to be the Toyo Moto Supra. Anyways, we were riding with him on a test drive in it on A1A. We were in mid conversation and all of a sudden he stomped on the gas! I almost shit myself! The next thing you know we come up to a red light and this hispanic lady pulls up next to us screaming her head off about "wtf are you doing! You could have killed someone...blah blah blah!" It was a trip Then the whole ride back to Atl I thought the car was broken because it kept making this whooshing sound :D.

my first time was on a back street in marietta in a white CRX with a zc mtr. the dude was outside the aptment putting on his bogart wheel and slicks. i started asking him about the car while on my roller blades and he told me to get in on the passenger side which had no seat. We went flying dwn this back road on slicks in the middle of the day with me sliding around on the passenger side of the car holding onto the Oh Sh*t handle. lol!!! Ive been hooked every since. He had time slips on the car runnig 12's.

my first time was when i was 14 one of my buddies dad had just gotten the '90 300zx tt. well the first chance we had we were skippin school and takin his car for a joy ride. i remeber i wouldnt drive it cause it would sit me back so hard. thaat started the fire. my first car was a 90 gsx that was pretty heavily modded for 92. everything was made for the car cause there wasnt many import performance dealers around then.
