Coming back into work from “lunch” (9pm) last night I have to make a left in this dual left turn median thingy. If there is a car from the opposite direction turning left, it will be sitting right in front of you. I have a great habit of looking way ahead into traffic (and apexes) and taking in the whole picture. Well there happened to be a car in the left turn median and it was apparently screening an oncoming car even though I looked for any oncoming traffic. I downshifted in 2nd and took the turn nonchalantly. As soon as I got perpendicular in the oncoming traffic lane… headlights were bearing down on me… fast. I hesitated toward the brakes but it was too late to stop so I gunned it. The boost needle jumped and so did the Super D- right out of the way. Thanks be to instant, on-demand torque.

 

Gold star for the D-series!!!! [sm=smiley10.gif] Mark that one down...

 

see if you didnt have the D you wouldnt have made it![8D]

 

Finally a good reason to get a supercharger!!! It could save your life! hahah

 

they should market them that way .

 

That sorta happened to me awhile ago. But thats awesome that you made it.

 

$hit. I guess my turbo wouldnt have been spooled?













+1 for supercharger

 

Whew, close call! That on demand torque has gotta be so sweet.

 

that a great story..makes me what to get a SC for all thos close calls

 

Chalk one up for the SC's. Glad to hear you got outta the way in time.
