It happened to me at New England dragway. I was up there in my stang averaging about 12.6. I beat every car I raced that day, there were some I didn' think I would but I did and was feeling pretty good about myself.
So my second to last run of the day I get lined up agianst this 80's Monte Carlo that was 4-5 different colors one being primer. Up there your windows have to be closed so I couldn't really hear his car. I also didn't bother looking for the huge slicks he had tubbed in the back.
The tree goes of and we both jump, pretty much even. Except I notice that his front end really picks up. Just as this thought goes through my head, the rear of his car is at the front of mine. I'm screaming for my car to go faster as he just keeps getting farther away. He beat me bad!!!! I get the timeslip and I see mine 12.58 and then look at his 9.44!!!!!!!!!!!!
My friends who mostly have Camaro's though it was friggin hilarious.

This was about 2 years ago before I did my motor swap. I was sitting at a light one night minding my own business when this guy pulled up next to me in a Buick. I didn't think anything of it, but when I looked at him I knew he wanted to race. I was like what the hell, I'll give it a round. Next think I knew he was pulling away like a bat out of hell. It was then I noticed he was in a Grand National. Oops Oh well, it was a nice car though!

Yep and suXuOrs big time!

Right after getting the GTR. Still pretty standard. Going to work and some guy in a little mitz mirage paces me. For those unfamiliar with one it is a little peanut box with a 1.8 MIVEC N/A motor in it. I figured I would just shit all over this guy and chucked it down to 3rd while doing 100kms. He did the same and dissapeared up the road with my jaw hitting my lap!

Later came to find out he had dropped a Series III Evo motor into along with the running gear. He also had a T06 turbo in it with a host of other mods. This little car would weigh more than 500 kgs (1,100 lbs) less than me and was pushing more hp than me! OUCH

Reminds me of the first time I went to the dragstrip and all the cars where lined up waithing for the gates to open. Most cars where on trailers and modded to the hilt and there is this bone stock looking neon in the middle of the line, complete with plastic walmart hub caps and rusty tailpipe. So, me and my brother where joking that at least there was one car there I could beat. Well, the laughter ended when I raced it, smoked me by quite a bit, running in the low 12s. Kind of look a litte different at neons now.

Yep. Was waiting at a light with my bone stock N/A 7, and an older escort pulls up. I see the guy give me the race look and i thought "are you kidding?" he wasn't. When the light went we were pretty even, and at about 115 mph down rt 20 in westfield (HiFlow would know where that is) he inched me out. Then i noticed his not so stock width tires and exhaust. And im sure he had something under the hood too.
