First time was a sweet one, I was cruising around with the sunroof open and all the windows down. Nice cool, crisp night. All of a sudden I see this car coming up fast on my left. I started to speed up to pace him and he cruised right by me at about 65-70 mph..I caught up and paced him at his rear quarter till we ended upstopped next to each other at a light...I was sittting next to a newish Jaguar XKS..The guys tag read BADDJAG. I new the late thirties looking guy liked to drive his Jag...

I kinda kept letting my foot off the brake a nd going forward a little. Trying to let the guy know I was game...Light goes green and I'm on it hard. I got him off the line till about 25-30 and then this guy was going, going, gone..I kept in it hard until about 80 and this guy was multiple buses ahead...I need one of those...

Second race...I got up beside a 6.0 GTO and popped it in second at about 40 mph. I gassed it and took off and I dont know how many milliseconds it took for him to walk past me but it was'nt very many... We ended up next to each other at a light..When I pulled up I saw that him and his girl were pretty tickled at my failed attempt...The guy looks over at me and says

him: "you think you can keep up"
me: "hell no, I know I cant ...that car is on my wish list"
him: "this ones got the 6.0 in it"
me: "I know I saw the badge, them LS2's aint no joke"
him: gave me a look like 'huh'...I dont think he new what I was saying...
me: " I could prolly get you off the line"
him:":lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: "
his girl: ":lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: "
I was like unless he can drive real good hes not going to launch very well based on what I have heard. That it takes some getting used to...

Light turns green...This guy was across the intersection before I could even get my gas pedal all the way to the floor..:rofl: :rofl: ....His GOAT was an automatic and had no problem launching hard off the line....WOW what an ass whooping....

and to anyone wondering, I expected no less than what I got...I was just pumped to see these 2 wicked fast cars getting on it...

Nice Deaths. I would love to see a GTO take off!

all the goat drivers I see around here are 50+,, and I don't think i've ever seen someone take it above 2k rpms:sleeping:

The guy in the GTO was around 50 and his girl was early 40's...He drove that car the way it is supposed to be driven....lots of people driving all kinds of cars are quick to show off there rides/skills all the time here...thats why its so fun to just ride around and have fun...

To me its not about winning all the time its about being an unexpected threat and having fun...

the people around here that "show off" their rides and "skillz" are the ones with the rides not worth showing off..won't mention any specific cars...

^^^ you said something about Charlotte girls in another post...are from the Carolinas?

nice stuff. where in NC was this?

maybe the tiburon dudes will join this one too...

Racing in an SUV sounds like fun:uhoh:

I think the Tibby owners are plotting my death as we speak....as far as racing in an SUV...Its a Jeep thing you wouldnt understand...I guess I could be zooming around town in a Honda and be the same as you...or wait, I can be different than everyone else and choose to race around in town in a Jeep that is not only fun to drive , but has luxury and style...Oh, and I can still take it offroad...

I respect your point. I guess im kind of againt racing on the street as a whole. Didnt mean to offend you. Yeah, I know that Hondas are everywhere. But I dont have a choice, frankly. So im just making due with what I have. Just remember that its never safe to race on the street.

I know what your saying about racing on the street...I guess the only good thing about racing ppl in my Jeep is that it will only be in a straight line and will never get above 80, usually..If I'm still running someone past 80 they have a slow ass car...I have been in 2 accidents in my life due to street racing....nobody hurt and I was never driving....We hit a telephone pole in Charlotte in 1991 after sliding through 4 lanes of traffic.. We were in my friends brand new stealth r/t. We hit at 135mph and did over 10 thousand dollars to the front end....we spanked the mustang gt we were racing, but not worth the possble tragedy...I am as safe as I can be and would never race if I thought someone would get hurt....never know though....

Yeah, but what if you beat a guy retarded with a torque wrech and they ban you from the tracks forever? The street is then your only option.

Most people never get into 1 accident while street racing. If I would have been in 2 or more, I would probably have given it up along time ago.

Where I come from, hitting a pole at 135mph and doing over $10,000 worth of damage is a "tragedy". :grinyes:

My only advice to you is to live your life a 60ft at a time. This is the ultimate way for you to stay safe, especially with your street racing luck. :rofl:

^^^ you said something about Charlotte girls in another post...are from the Carolinas?

i live in cary in the summer and go to school up @ unc charlotte for the school year,, there's a lot more gear heads and ppl willing to race in charlotte than cary maybe b/c of the speedway:dunno: all i kno is cary's boring as shit and i'm rdy as hell to go back to uncc:banghead:

The only tragedy was that the insurance company wouldnt total it because he had just bought it and owed like 35,000 on it...As I said b4 I wasnt the one driving either time...Trust me I am not out there terrorizing the street or anything. If evrybody ran away when they had a little bad luck we would all be wearing skirts or worse living in France....

True that! It does sound like your buddies do need to start letting you, and you ONLY, drive the races. It's fun to terrorize the street, btw. :evillol:

lol. im hoping thats a joke. there are just so many idiots especially around where I live. Ill probably move away someday to a less crowded area.

Yeah, the LS2 GTO's are actually not too bad off the line from what I've seen. Maybe its just the manuals that are tough to get off the line.

I raced an auto, and he kept up with me in first to my suprise. After that I began to pull away pretty hard.

I do commend you on actually trying, most people look at a car that is supposed to be faster and say why bother. I say half the fun is trying to beat something that is supposed to kick you into next week. :D

^^^^^^

I agree....no fun in not trying.....

LOL, Fast and furious references for the win, always put a smile on my face.

ah, cary. I go there alot actually, alot of my friends live there, but there really is no racing to speak of. Raleigh on the weekends is your best bet.

I was hoping to see Brad Taylor beat retarded...

I was looking up the specs on that Jaguar XK something...I was very surprised at what kind of power one of those Jags is putting out...The body style I thought it was wnet from years 97-05...I am convinced that it was a newer one, but who knows..anyways, they produced 4 motors for that car ranging from...

290hp/290 lb.ft -390hp/399 lb.ft weighing 3673

GTO-
400hp/400 lb.ft-weighing 3725

It would be sweet to see those 2 lining them up at a light one night...2 of the Jag motors are s/c ....

retail prices....Jaguar gonna run you about 65k new
I'm taking the GTO over the Jag price wise any day for around 25k-32k

if I ever spend 65k on a car that I was gonna race ppl with i'd get a used viper.

With all due respect to the numerous GTO owners on the boards...there is a reason that the Jag costs more than the GTO. Of course, with British 'reliability', I dunno what that reason is, but I'm sure there is one.

If only i had a viper then i could rule the earth.:grinyes:

Until someone with a ZO6 pulled up:lol:

:wink:

:wink:

yup:ylsuper:

Zo6 Ftmfw!!!!!!!!!!!

:iamwithst

Only reason the GTO is so hard to launch is cause of the pussy ass tonka tires they put on it! My dad's 92 Caravan has the same fucking tires! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Seriously i took it to the track and couldnt get them to hook up. Launched at 3000 rpms and got so much spin and wheel hop, killed two seconds off my time and ran a 14.9 :screwy:
launched it at 2000 rpms and the car just sits dead and slowly climbs into some torque, ran even worst that way.

The jags are nice but I too rather spend 65K on a Z06.

Oh and Jeep if your serious about getting a Goat then id hurry. the last batch gets shipped out in three weeks or so, no more sales after September according to GMC sales speculations i.e. dealers will have ran out by Sept.

Yeah but there are plenty of good used ones out there w/ low miles..

I am a firm believer that someone else should take the hit on depreciation...so I can see a nice used one in my future...
