My best race was with a late model LT1 Camaro. We caught a light and I just knew it was on. I thought I was gonna get waxed. So I give a little rev and prepare to launch. Light turns and I don't spin much at all. I pulled a half car at launch and stayed ahead all the way through third! The guy was cool and gave me a thumbs up.

For me it would be a toss up between a 02 wrx and a VW R32. My boy owns the R32 and we went from about a 10 mph roll. I had to ride behind him most of the way through second because of traffic then it cleared and i put close to 4 lengths on him before i shut it down at 110. The R32 is stock, and all i had was my cai and flowmasters. The wrx pulled up on me goin down the road at about midnight or so and wanted to go. We went from a 35 roll to about 105 and i had 3 1/2 lengths on him. He wanted to go from a dig and we were slowing down but traffic was comming back up so we went from about 15. I still had him by 3 lengths. I talked to him at the light and he said he had a full exhaust, cai, and engine management. He asked me and I told him what i had (cai, flowmasters, and udp's). He didn't look to happy.

Hmm. i dont really know what my best beat would be. Ive beat a g35, 350z(both friends of mine) some other modded 99+ GT's, an early 90's vette at the track, and a 96-98 cobra at the track. Other than that I dont really race much.

My best 4 would prolly be a ls1 vette, vr4, and a Sti.

Ill keep it short.

The vette...Getting on the on ramp from a dig, i pull about 3 feet on this guy and he shuts down, then we get on the freeway and he just jets off, lucky for me cuz he woulda walked me badddd on the freeway.

VR4...This thing had big exaust tips and a really nice paint job so i think im gonna lose. We go even throuhg first, then i just totally walk the guy.

STI...I was dying to race either this or the evo so ill take this, the guy didnt do a 6k launch, more like a 2k, he gets me from the gid for a sec but im able to pull a car or two by the end of third. Then we go from a roll and i pull a few cars on him.

My most memorable one was a late 70's early 80's trans-am. Smokey and the bandit style. I dearly love old american metal and was really honored to get a chance at one. Had him by three lengths from a dead stop by the time I hit third. If I ever get to run this damn Acura NSX that has been harrasing me it may take top honors. I *REALLY* want this guy.

I dunno about all that. Might be a decent race. Who knows.
