SS owner goads me into a race then bolts

Projectquick · 10-22-2009, 08:30 PM

So a little earlier I was hanging out with my buddy with a bolt on, cammed LS1 Firehawk in a parking lot, just BSing since I havent seen him in a while when a new auto SS camaro rolls up. The car was all black and he had the stock rims painted black. He revs up what I can only assume was the stock car and it sounds pretty good for being stock. He looks over and asks whose driving the POS mustang. I say I am and ask why he wants to know. He tells me his car can smoke any type of mustang, and says he hasn't beaten a 5.0 yet and wants to. After listening to him for a few more minutes I finally agree. My buddy with the Firehawk gets in his car and gets his camera ready to film it. We go to a good stop light in the area where no one really drives after work hours and line them up. I had turned my bottle heater on as soon as I left the lot so the pressure was good at about 1050 PSI, so I hit the purge to clear the line just incase any air or vapor was in there. I guess after seeing this the guy decided he didn't wanna go because he made the right and just floored it outta there. I pulled back to where my friend was and asked him WTF that was about, but he couldn't answer because he was laughing his ass off. I really wanted to see how my car would stack up against a new SS, now I gotta wait more.

I haven't even got a chance to run it at the track yet because of either work or the weather, but hopefully next week looks better.

lol...that pretty funny! So, he never asked you what your mods were before assuming that he would smoke you?

that's some funny ass chit right there!

Omg, thats seriously funny, lol! I guess the guy was pretty terrified of a loss. Hell, although I know you would destroy me, I would still run you for the sheer thrill of it. I don't get some people.

No he just pulled up and started talking ****. It's not like I even knew who the guy was. He also told my friend with the Firehawk he would rip his car too. The Firehawk is cammed with a good amount of boltons and throws down something like 410-420 whp. We both just laughed.

Stone, don't count yourself out yet, I'll see what kind of numbers it puts up next wednesday weather permitting.

I might be 5 and 0 with the 86 and the spray, but don't get me wrong, I really wanted to see how my car would stack up. I was honestly hoping for a really good/close race. For the most part I just blow people away off the line and try to make them catch up while I spray and take off. I wanted a challenge dammit.

I would've loved to see that one play out. I think you would have got him tough

I can pretty much tell you that the SS you tried to race is no match for you from a dig. No way in hell, imo. From a roll.... that would most definitely be interesting.

shouldn't have purged it.

you should have cleared the line's on the way out, by spraying in first gear for a short burst 2-3 times.

that way he would have never known.

Do that for now on if you think someone is going to get scared of the purge.
