2 races I couldn't pass up

[Igovert500]

Ok, this was a great weekend, classic race after another. I don't even know which to tell first. But I guess I will go backwards chronologically, as I think the first was funnier.

So today I was out doing the holiday/family thing, when on the way back, I happen to chance upon a nice sight ahead of me...a 3000gt red rear bumper. So I speed up to catch him a few lights down. As I get closer (catching green lights, as he caught reds) I see there is a darker red mustang gt with exhaust sitting next to him. When the light turns green, they both take off. Unfortunantly the mustang did leave him behind. And when the loss was evident the 3000gt, which turned out to be an SL, backed off the gas...the mustang kept going. Well, I caught the SL at the next light, pulled up next to him, rolled down my window, smiled, and told him to watch. He laughs back and lets me pass him. I catch the mustang at yet another red light a few miles down, with the SL trailing a distance behind. The mustang guy laughs at me, (apparently assuming that I am the same red 3000gt he just beat). He proceeded to rev his engine, so I felt obligated to do the same, smiling to myself. Well I am pretty sure his smile turned upsidedown when the light changed. I launched around 4700, slipped the clutch out and took off, I red lined 2nd before letting off(I am still on my donut...for 12 more hours!!!!!!!!). And just to add insult to injury I flashed the hazards...I had to redeem my fallen comrade. So my brother and I got a few cheap laughs from that.

The second story occured over the last 2 nights. Friday night I had been hanging out at a friends house and he had a small get-together. A bunch of people I hadn't met before showed up, and I spent awhile getting to know them. After awhile of talking near the driveway with a small group of them, the conversation turned car-related. I didn't really say much, but a common aquaintance mentioned my vr4 casually, but nothing else. Well after awhile, one guy who entered the conversation late, began bragging about his car running a 9.8 at the track. This got my interest so I asked him what he drove. He replied with a "supercharged Jetta vr-6" I was shocked/ very skeptic, and asked what kind of boost he was running to achieve such power. How many pounds? He replied, "3,000"(no not a typo!). My friend said, "Psi, not rpms" "Yeah, 3000psi" At this point, his ignorance became obvious, my friend laughed to himself so hard he began choking on his drink. When he caught his breath we glanced at each other and gave the silent acknowledgment of BS. So I decided to have some fun and played along, acting quite amazed. I asked what kinds of supporting mods he had, reply: Neuspeed intake, neuspeed air filter, neuspeed exhaust...and some other stuff" I said, "wow, must be nice. So you have a Kormex supercharger?" he said "um,...yeah, kormex" I said "sweet, I guess you have to have a huge carbeurator."
Him: Yeah its really big
Me: Wow, sweet what size fuel injectors you got with that...900s?"
Him: 1000s
Me: damn dude, where did you run you car at
Him: Don't remember the name of it
Me: ah, that's chill we race at atco occasionally
Him: Yeah, atco...that was it
(I don't know if you ever saw mischief 3000, but I remembered the part intitled "domestic rice" and borrowed a few questions from them)
Me: So you install some heavy duty intercoolers?
Him: yeah
Me: 3 or 4
HIm 4
Me: cool, so is that a rotory engine?
Him: nah the other kind
Me: Oh with pistons?
Him: Yeah
Me: cool, forged titanum?
Him: You know it man
Me: so you have to be running slicks to get all that power to the ground with good traction...what bolt pattern do the vr-6s have?
Him: it's still the stock ones...
Me: sweet, so you get your slicks off tirerack.com?
Him: Nah, they were too expensive there, I got the hookup through a friend of mine...he owns a shop.
Me: Well I am installing new synchros in my throttle body this weekend, maybe you can help me out with all your expertise?
Him: Possibly...well no, I am gonna be real busy

At this point it was getting ridiculous...and really hard not to laugh, so our conversation ended. As he walked away I did say,
"Yo we got Vin Diesel here"
He smiled and replied with yet another "yeah, you know it man"

Well long story short, at another friends social gathering, last night, this kid shows up again. At this point, it is around 2am, and I had WAYY to much to drink to hold my tongue. So when the conversation renews. I ask if he drove the vr6 here, he said no. I asked if he wanted to race sometime, he said maybe, but he doubts that I would want to get embarrased like that.
My silence stopped right there! I proceeded to bring up everyone of his shortcomings in the story and told him that I would be happy to be embarrased if he could show any of us a 9.8 timeslip, his "fuel injected carbeurator", if he could even point out just 1 of his 4 intercoolers, or hell even just show us a vr6 with slicks on it driving around town. He wouldn't even have to race. Well apparently his temper got the best of him, because this did result in a short fight which was quickly broken up...(somewhat to my drunken dismay) Regardless, as he was leaving (in a green taurus) he did manage to yell out a challenge to a race...mixed in with quite a few obscene suggestions.

My friends and I are still getting a few good laughs every couple of hours, over this event. So I figured I would share the story for your enjoyment as well.

Lmfao! Oh god... that's too damn funny. What an idiot. Lol! Kudos for stickin up for the SL though

[crawlerVR498]

LOL, that is great. The world is filled with way to many fools. I raced a mustang gt on a donut too. It was hilarious. The guy driving the stang was rolling when he realized that I had just demolished him with a donut.

[youngvr4]

you guys are crazy for racing on a donut. that race with the mustang is classical, something to tell your kids "i had a mustang boss and blew the doors of a challenger" kinda stories

and that story is so funny i'm gonna have to post it in another forum.

[GTO4Life]

good times my friend

[blackeye_1986]

Way to go, idiots how brag about their cars but don`t have a clue should be embarrased!! I know I am far from an expert on cars, so I ask instead of looking like an idiot.

Whats with digging up old posts?
This is the second one already...

[Linebckr49]

digging up old threads is dumb. but this story is freakin awesome and hilarious! i've actually never read it before, wish i had, but it did make MY day today.

What's really funny is that i bet half the people in this forum still doesn't understand why everything Igovert said was so funny and how it was so contradictory. I get it all, which makes it even that much funnier. But i wonder about some...

Geoff!!!! You need to post this in the FAQ section!!! seriously man! just for the heck of it, b/c you know it belongs where all can read (w/o digging up old threads).

this story is definitely in the top 10.

[Old and good]

im sorry im from iceland culd you please explain what racing on a donut is?

[xXxRocker5150]

Not sure, but I think it means racing with a bald tire as in hardly any or no treads on the tire...

[Musashi3000GT]

well screw it, if old threads are gonna get digged up it might as well be this one. its classic! the dounut is the spare tire. the little tiny tire in the trunks of some car who have not removed it to save 20 lbs off thier ride.
he was racing on an emergency spare and still managed to spank the pony.
