Bout 2 weeks ago me and a few people were leaving a bowling alley, goin the way I was were Me (redline) and my friend with a blazer and Dan in His M3. We were all driving like (relatively) normal human beings all in the left lane of jefferson, until (as always) the BMW driver has to prove a point and flies around my friends blazer into oncoming, then back over. My passenger and I decided we were about fed up with how he does this kinda s*** and were gonna see if the little plastic car could make America proud.
We go a little farther down the road, I get next to him, I revmatch, and drop second at 35 and give him the nod. "My cars not fully warmed up yet" (
) so I jump, but he doesnt so I wind it back down. We get a little farther and I hear him pull up, revving high, then I hear beep 1 (figure hes trying to get my attention) beep 2, ok hes serious... downshift and a very rushed beep 3 and we take off, slowly but surely, the "ricer" pulls ahead of the "precision engineering marvel" with my passenger, the blazer and his passenger all as witnesses.
We meet up at mcdonalds after and the thats where the excuses began. "Oh well my 02 sensors are bad" no theyre not, if they were it be worse than a little slow. "my car wasnt fully warmed up" just as warm as mine. "Mines older with more miles" Its a 98, with 120k, you never shut up about how these cars dont lose power over time. This is where I told him he fits the bill of a base model civic driver with all the excuses he comes up with to cope with the fact that he got beat by a car, and I quote myself (to add insult to defeat), "A car made for 16-year olds and 50 year old men that think theyre Vin Diesel"
Later my 2 other friends tell me they couldnt be happier that I beat him, because before that he was all sorts of cocky about this car, saying that it has perfect handling and its so fast and I just completely put him in his place... with a saturn no less.
So not only is this a kill of a car that by the numbers should have spanked me, but also putting another (high-end) import in its place.
Ill try to get video of our 40-135 run so his car can "get to its true strong point" Love him like a brother, but this just worked out so good.
No big story behind this one, but went against a Grand Prix GXP, he was alone, I had a 200+ lb passenger with me, went from a 60 roll on the fwy (3rd gear) he pulled me right away, but by end of fourth gear I started to catch up, went into 5 and we let off bout 120. I was just shocked I started to gain on him.
from the xceed sterling heights meet...
Pulled up next to a newer genesis coupe, improptu race I guess. we both pop down to lower gears at bout 40 I honk it off and we go. first run I miss 3rd... horribly, get it in and still catch up. second run we go and I didnt fail at shifting for once and got him pretty good.
another S.H. meet run, kid with a supercharged cavalier, wanted to go. Again, missed 3rd horribly didnt even try after that. 2nd run instantly pulled right away.
