If anybody's got any good kills,I always love to hear them.I prefer the ones that involve an ss,or something domestic v8.
I like the 4bangers,but not enough to spend the kind of money it takes to make them fast.Believe it or not these kind of stories help me sleep at night.

lol, well i dont have an SS, but i played with a pair of four door four bangers on the way home from va beach last night. nothin serious, just 80-110mph cat and mouse, everytime they thought they were leading, or shutting me out, (they were playing two against me) id just downshift and blow past em. weave through small traffic blockages (those damn slow drivers that feel the need to drive side by side) and then slow down let them catch up, and then embarrase them again :) and thats in my tired old 305 powered RS, with 170 hp, and auto slushbox thats slipping, and 2.73 rear gears :) man i love these cars!! cant wait to get the IROC out and let her play *evil grin*

This weekend I raced a supercharged zo6 vette and won be a fender. I think the only reason I won was because I had the traction advantage off the line.

Supercharged Z06, That would have to be insanely fast!!! But, with that much power and stock tires.Actually, you didn't say.Did he have stock tires??Actually, it just goes to show that there's always someone faster no matter what you have.Good kill.

3 races:
Most recent (past saturday) Played with an 87-93 Mustang GT. Sounded like it had some exhaust work, and probably gears. We cruised along eachother for a minute or 2 at 45 MPH, then he floord it, he got a car length or 2 on me, before i reeled him in. We did that for about 5 minutes, before he turned off (got ahead every time)
1993-1997 Camaro Z28-Custom Had a custom paint job, dont know anything else about it. We had a stop light race. He beat me off the line, i didnt really expect it, he left a nice patch of rubber, i fell about 4 cars behind, and had some difficulty reeling him in, we got to about 90-100 before a car pulled out in front of me, and i had to slam on the brakes
3000GT SL-Raced an all black 3000GT SL (not Twin Turbo AWD). Another stop light race. We were just passing eachother back and forth before he "got all up on it" He got 2 car lengths on me, and i waved bye bye. I was about 10 car lenghts ahead before i saw the brake lights come on (it was night..so the brighter lights were visable) Got to 115ish
Other: Not really a race, i was goin about 60 when i saw a lowered GT come up behind me, i got up to 80, and he was tryin to keep up, then i went a bit faster, and lost him.
Got stuck behind a slow 3rd gen trans am (going 35 in a 50) I pass him, and i hear him step on it, i was already nailing the gas when i passed him, so i just kept going. Never caught up.

Thank you! :smile: and yes I do have to look out for thoes kenne bell cobras. I almost raced one, I figured I would lose but I wanted to see how fast he was. He said he just put the car back together and did not want to run quite yet. But now that I beat that vette, I am starting to wonder if I might be able to beat him. It seems that an IRS rearend and stiky tires don't agree.

The 03's improved IRS gets along with sticky tires to a point. It's the dam 99/01 Cobras that IRS sucks ass!. But if you ever do race let us know.... I think you got fair chance!

Yea, I think it would be one hell of a race. I've also heard that some Cobra owners have had problems with wheel hop... I've seen Kenne bells from a roll too, and the sound they make are AWESOME! Not as fierce as that one GN you had in that video though... That thing was just a monster...
