Why cant I ever get someone with a real vehicle to race me. All of the new Mustangs, Camaros and BMWs are driven by elderly people who have no interest in going fast. WTF. Sorry for the rant. Lets hear some other stories like this.
I had the Procharger on the truck for little over a week before coming back to work and was begging for someone to challenge me at a light. The only thing I had even suggest that they were trying was a older silverado with some exhaust. Same thing road goes from 2-1 around a corner. I was on the inside and just proceed like normal till I heard them downshift and get on it. Wife already knew what was up and grabbed the oh **** handle and yea......


I hope once summer hits some of the Camaro SS and Stangs around town will play

That's not true. That Nissan Titan wanted some of you... and you proceeded to bitch slap him all the way down the track. Then he moved to me and I pulled him all the way down the track also LOL

Titan Mentioned..



Not sure where he went to......LOL



No pic of the actual run... but he is behind me coming back





Your fastest run to date was against a pretty beastly older Camaro. I am pretty sure he was not expecting you to be trailing so close in his rear view mirror

This.. when my wife had the Nissan Altima I would switch it into sport shift and take on anyone trying. Didn't win many but when you do it's hysterical.

Can't get anything in the grocery-getter either. Maybe I need a cutout or a big NOS sticker on the back window

the best kill i have from the ol' 4.0 explorer was when the GF was driving, a couple russian kids in a late 90's civic pulled out to pass going up a long straight hill, i told her to punch it so she dropped two gears and got on it, stopped their pull and started walking away from them...next working day the same civic came into my shop for a tune-up

Got another one this morning. Was at a red light and a NNBS Silverado pulls up next to me. The light turns green and I start to go, at about 25% throttle. The Silverado starts to accelerate so I go to about 50%. I hear him drap a gear so I punch it and pull two and a half trucks on him till about 60. A school zone was comming up and a photo radar van usually sits there so I let out and start coasting down and he does the ricer flyby. Some people are sore losers lol.

Same **** here. So many women drive Gt stangs, f-bodys, tbss's, etc...

I tried playing with a guy in a mustang that had a 5" tach and pillar guages, but I think the turbo/bov scared him.
