Southern Knights
Ok last time Kenneth crashed the Lancia in a race against Raven because raven used an oil slick. Kenneth found out that the leader of Shadow Striker was an old friend Katie. Katie was forced into the family business and Kenneth had a plan he worked in an extra part in the agreement. If Kenneth wins then Katie can leave Shadow Striker if she wants.
Kenneth used the money from the insurance and selling the Camaro to buy a 1991 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16 Evolution II.
Chapter 20: New Styles…
Kenneth had just bought the 190E and was driving down Wangan with Salina and Kizuna headed to the Tokyo Police Academy. The 190E rode super smooth but was lacking in power to get away from trouble.
As Kenneth pulled in Ayoama rushed out at the car with a G36 rifle in hand thinking that the Benz was a Shadow Striker group members car.
Kenneth used the Ghosgun power to create a Killzone Shadow Marshal SMG with silencer. Kenneth lowered the window as Ayoama was about the pull the trigger when she saw Kenneth and the SMG pointed right at her.
"Kenneth?" said Ayoama before seeing the passengers and rushing an apology from her lips.
"It's ok just don't do it again." Said Kenneth as he parked the 190E
"I need to talk to Sagara." Said Kenneth as he stood at the lobby desk.
Soon sagara had gotten the message about Kenneth and was in the lobby to meet him.
"So Kenneth what are you doing here?" said Sagara with a smile.
"I need some help with my 190E Evo II I have to race Katie's superbird soon and I need to be ready." Said Kenneth before pointing to the 1991 Mercedes out side.
"Oh… Lets see what you got pull it around back." Said Sagara before heading through the building to the garage.
Kenneth got into the 190E and pulled the low light weight Benz into bay 3. Kenneth shut down the engine and exited the 190 Evo II.
"So what are you wanting to do?" asked Sagara as he activated the lift watching the 91' 190E Evolution II rise.
"Well I need the handling improved greatly and the power is nice but I think I'll need more to beat the 600hp+ Superbird that Katie runs. Maybe around 450hp would be better." Said Kenneth as he watched Sagara inspect the suspension and undercarriage.
"Then why didn't you just get a different car?" asked Sagara as he Exited from under the 190E.
"Well I needed a family car." Said Kenneth with a smile.
"So you want this thing to go from family car to race car in like 5 minute right?" said Sagara with a sigh.
"Yep I was thinking of putting in electronically controlled Transmission, suspension, Limited Slip Differential, and engine." Said Kenneth as he looked at the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16 Evo II.
"Well why bring it here?" asked Sagara as he took a seat.
"Well you guys have the ability to get your hands on some rare stuff and I was wondering if you could get your hands on those parts cause I sure can't" said Kenneth with a sigh.
"Well I'll keep a look out but if I can't find the suspension try this place." Said Sagara as he handed Kenneth a small business card.
"Thanks." Said Kenneth before pulling the Benz out and getting Salina from the lobby. The 190E slid through traffic heading home Kenneth had an electronically controlled LSD but not the other parts.
"Well if I install the LSD I can use it again." Said Kenneth softly.
"You don't mean that style?" said Salina worried
"Yea I'll go back to the way I used to drive before I moved here." Said Kenneth calmly
"NO WAY!" yelled Salina.
"That Style nearly got you killed it's more insane than anything you ever did. Don't Do it!" said Salina calming down.
"I have to do it if I'm going to win." Said Kenneth as he comforted his wife.
"But why? You shouldn't have to do any of this they said they would leave us alone!" said Salina before getting out the 190E as it came to a stop in the garage of the Fire station.
The rest of that week was spent convincing Salina that he would be ok racing Katie using his old style and getting the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 16 Evolution II ready to race against Katie's superbird. Kenneth also set the race date. It would be that Saturday 10:00pm on mount Akina.
Saturday 10:00pm Mount Akina Summit
Kenneth sat at the Summit with Richard, and Brandon standing next to their cars behind him and Salina sitting next to him on the hood of the 190 Evo II.
The sound of the 440 hemi Superbird pulling up sent shivers down the spins of onlookers.
"Well are you finally ready Kenneth?" asked Katie as she approached him.
"Yes I am now let's see if you can beat the drift brake…" said Kenneth as he got into the 190 Evo II.
Kenneth pulled the 91' 190 Evo II pulled up to the line with the Superbird both cars revving loud.
"5…4…3…2…1…GO!" yelled a member of Shadow Striker as both cars tore off the line and down the strait.
The Superbird took the lead on the strait with ease. The first turn thought Kenneth as he taped the brakes and felt the car slide sideway about 20meters before the turn began.
The Superbird had already gotten hard on the brakes while the 190 slide by the superbird with ease from the outside using the drift itself to drop speed without getting of the accelerator.
AS they exited the superbird used its 878fl lbs of torque to catch the 190. Kenneth was using a move that no one else had seen before that is no one but Sweeper.
The 190 was able to enter much faster than the Superbird even though Katie was trying to block with a drift while Kenneth entered the sharp right hander at 90mph while Katie was only able to enter at 70mph. the people on the side of the road screamed thinking the 190 was going to crash right through the guardrail. Kenneth forced the 190 to exit faster every time and Katie still was keeping up with him as they reached the Skate Strait…
Just a taste if Kenneth's new style of driving. This is a style and a car I use on GT4 for races against opponents wanting a race with a 300hp limit. Anyways tell me what you think of the story so far…
Till next time…
