Me VS 'Them'

[RocketStang911]

Good kill!!
I hate when your not even racing and the guy next to you has the pedal mashed to the ground and he thinks he beat you.Reminds me of the time when a ricer did that to my friends trans am and went around telling everyone that he beat an LS1

That drives me nuts too. Fella in a V6 Camaro ran around my high school years back and told everyone how he blew the doors off the 'tall sax player' when all it was a fly-by. I publicly challenged him and kicked his ass. That was great!

I think I know what your talking about but I save speeds like that for the strip. Usually I don't take in city street races past 20 km over speed limit. I figure that if a cop pulls me over, it wouldn't be that big of a ticket

Yeah, i've had my own run-ins with the cops, so i have to be selective of the streets i race on. Unfortunately being on a student budget and gas the price it is, going to the track just doesn't fit the budget too well.

i Agree with that...my little old Cavalier won't quit messing up, its something simple every time...but oh well...I'm thinking about putting a 2.8 turbo in it and fix it up.

[landyacht]

The turbo would be nice... i'll be fixing up the boat this summer myself...by the end of summer i'll have it looking beautifull. I'll see if i can't get a digital picture and post it on my sig.

[losingxposer]

That'll be cool, let me know when you have it...i wanna see it i'll post one if you want to.

If you're gonna be around post up and i'll come meet you. The old boat's not much, but it does it's job!

[landyacht]

Just won't run against you Raz...my car's got nothing on a Talon!! As you can see from this post, i can only get my fun with stupid little Kias these days.

Damn again car components!! LOL

Its not about what you beat, but what you won with

[eclipsefan98]

(off topic) Raz Kaz, how did you make a "strip"?

[landyacht]

Its not about what you beat, but what you won with

Good point...i still think a Talon would kick my ass though!

Start from a roll or on the highway and that's where i shine. I've out-run Sunfire GT's with intake and exhaust (my neighbor), Cavalier Z24's (countless), tonnes of Civics and Focus, a 5.0L Mustang too... just a few of my kills.

uh......good kill.......i think.....

[landyacht]

Ummm...thanks, just so you know, the kill at hand here is this one:

Before i can even motion the '3-2-1' this jackass takes off! So i hit it and we're off.

Now unfortunately my car hasn't any low end power...it's not 'til gear 2 kicks in that i get my true power happening.

So he takes me off the line (obviously, he cheated, but i'm making my way!) and he's got about a car and a half on me. This stays consistent until my 2nd gear kicked in.

That car and a half advantage for him narrowed rather swiftly, and we got side to side. As my speedometer neared 85km/h and 3rd gear was about it take over we began to enter a corner, in his favour.

So i'm thinking 'dammit..he's got the inside la...' and before i can even finish my thought, my good ol' trusty top gear kicked in. Despite him having the inside through this long corner, i powered ahead. His front bumper was back by my rear door, and stayed there all the way to 150km/h when i let up
