Default Skyline vs. IS300

So I'm on 695 today on my way to the office when coming on the on ramp I see an R32 GTR. There is this young kid driving the thing like a bat out of hell. He gets along side me and wanted to go heads up. Of coarse I'm like yeah right being that aside from a few suspension and exterior mods, my IS is stock. But what the hell why not, its not everyday that a Skyline pulls up next to you. It became quite obvious that the kid can't drive unless he's in a straight line. Everytime he pulled away, he boxed himself in between the cars ahead of him while I'm just ducking and weaving around everything. But about 3 minutes later when traffic let up, he flies by at about 150. Fortunately I know that the state police sit just ahead of where we were, so I lifted and got in the slow lane. This idiot gets caught in traffic (because of the cops ahead), ends up behind me again then takes off across three lanes into the fast lane at about 100mph right in front of three state troopers. I did see the first car pull out after him but got off before seeing if you got pulled over. Any wayI guess this is one case when I'm glad I had the slower car.

when i KNOW there is a cop ahead, or a possibility of a speed trap i always try to edge people on to race. Used to work every time in the porsche, i got at least 4 people tickets and probably 2x as many warned. In the LS ive gotten two people to get nailed.

Its absolutely amazing what people will do to try and be "Better" or "Faster" then you. Making idiots get pulled over by highway patrol is my favorite hobby. LoL

It was charcoal. It had a massive intercooler, 3 were after market, and one might have been factory, but it was definately different.

I can't really remember if it had NY tags or not, but I want to say yes.
