Chalk up another for the peppy V6!

[WarShrike]

So, me and my friend decided we'd cruise 82nd again this evening. My other roomie had a 'date' with him in his Monte Carlo and we were headed to the theater to check up on the movies showing for the night. We stop at the intersection behind a white taurus that is playing Genuine - Pony all loud on their system. I'm a metal nut so I couldn't help but laugh a little and kinda rock my head to the bass, having some fun. I noticed a beater of a mid eighties Camaro (Didn't see a Z28 badge) right next to me as I had pulled up. Light goes green and as we're just rolling along, the guy in the Camaro pops to neutral and revs his engine.

I'm like 'dude wtf?' and I keep going, passing the lead traffic and getting up ahead with my friend in the Monte right behind me. The Camaro veers around his own slow clumps and matches speed. He keeps running the throttle up, then braking, I guess this guy wants to roll. I'm running in 2nd at about 35-45 ish and as he bumped the throttle I nailed it. He slid back like a sloppy turd and I sat at 70 with him 3 lengths back. Red light traffic up ahead and he does what you would have to call the ricer flyby, even if he is pushing American metal around. He's in the lane ahead of me and coming to a stop, my friend in the Monte slides by to my right laughing his ass off. Gives my roomie in the passenger seat a high five and then slides up next to the Camaro (still laughing).

The movies are a bust so we head back to our apartment. I decide I wasn't really up for sitting around there so me and my roomie head back out, taking the Interstate back down to 82nd about 45 minutes after we left last time.

I am running along and I pass by a White 2000 ish Camaro, and I knew it was a V6. "I think this could be an interesting race, but I'm not for sure where the cops are now," roomie agrees and we keep going west.

Getting near the end of the run, the Camaro passes by me because of traffic, he looked interested, but acted the same way as mee "hmmph whatever happens." Then I see my previous kill, the old beater Camaro hassling a stock neon. I tell my roomie what I see and tell him I'm going to see if he remembers me. The beater slows down as the white Camaro drives by. The beater starts doing the gas/brake dance of a redneck fighter (forward & backwards "You want sum of dis?" type of bullshit. The guy in the White is totally un-interested, then the beater sees me. I roll for about 2 blocks, letting the traffic lighten up and then we nail it from a roll again at about 50. The beater falls back like it was slapped for standing up in the back seat, leaving it at 3 lengths again (tap my brakes to show I let off) and he blows by me as I slow for traffic ahead.

He slows down again and hollars to my roomie "Hey how bout we do this off the line?" I couldn't hear anything because of the wind noise, but I told my roomie to give the thumbs up. He speeds up and gets into the turn in lane and I think we're heading to the warehouse district for a quick romp. I can't believe he thinks he can pull me off the line after I raped him so hard at 50. Turns out he pulls up to his house and then gets out in all his tight shirted, Joe Dirt glory with a smug face. I'm like "Wtf is he getting out for?" I wanted to ream his ass off the line! My roomie leans out the window and raises his hands like WTF? and laughs in his face. I head back to 82nd, dejected that he had to run home.

Running back on 82nd I see a schweet 1972 Camaro, with a good bit of mods for the street. I remember seeing this at the dealership and just decide to slide by him. He looks at me and I give him a thumbs up, he nails the throttle and blows away down the street (*grabs a towel*). I tell my roomie to ask him if he got that thing at the local dealership (Classic Motor Cars), he's like yeah, and my roomie is like badass car man! I think that might have been the compliment of the night for that guy.

We get past a ricer in a Accord with what looks like straight out exhaust without a cat and no muffler. He's always revving his engine at the intersection and people just laugh at him. The car stinks to high hell as it seems like it's burning the fuel wrong and smoking a good bit (thrashed and trashed). He leaves to be replaced by some south town honky in his white Ford F-150. I get off from the intersection and just go at a regular pace, leaving the F-150 to play catch up. He turns out to be trying to power shift his automatic, chirps it in 2nd and as he passes by me we both hear this *crunch, revvv, crunch* I noticed that his reverse indicator lights popped on twice. Say goodbye to your transmission, cause it just got sent to hell. He turned off the very next block (we're laughing damned hard).

So yeah, it was a fun night watching the tools come out of the wood works, and laying a few spankings down for good measure.

Cliff notes:

Killed a beater Camaro two times within an hours difference.
Got a sniff of some fried rice
Watched Archie Bunker fry his auto cocker.

Sorry about the long post, I can't help myself. It seems more appropriate to me, but meh, I blame it on the coffee and mountain dew...

Nice story, sounds like a fun night. Don't let anyone hate on your V6 F-Body, it may not be a Z28, but it's still 200 horsepower in a rear-wheel-drive coupe, and that's quick enough.

Good kills, your in Lubbock right? Ima be headin out there sometime this summer if I get a full weekend of to hang with soem freinds, might get some good races...maybe meet up or someting. Of course, by then, I might be with the Honda...dunno if it would be all that fair.

[WarShrike]

Yeah, soon as you get the chance send me a PM, and I'll try and track you down. I've got an '83 BMW 533i, love the bimmers to death! Just wish I had the cash flow to breath some life back into the poor thing. I jokingly brought up the subject with my dad of installing an LS1 in the car and beefing up the suspension.

The Red vette in my sig 'Thumper' is one of the cars my dad built, so yeah, he's accustomed to some outrageous custom builds.

The Honda Im thinking about getting is my secret weapon...lol. Yeah, once I find out when were heading down, I'll send ya a PM, hopefully meet up or something.
