Ok last night me and my wife took a drive to the beach to visit her brother and his wife and their newborn (my Godson) for the first time. On our way home I decided to take PCH for a nice 10 mile or so drive to the freeway instead of getting on it up ythe street from her brothers. While we were stopped at a light a Lamboroughini pulled up next to me and the old fart looked over and laughed. That really pissed me off..and my wife blurted out you better not! He threw a rev and I threw a few back. (This was at close to midnight so there was no traffic) My wife was yappin no no no.....I hit the remote bottle opener and nailed the trottle when the green hit...My wife really started screaming at me..I had him by a fender when I hit 3rd and then let off the throttle..I never street race a usually save it for the track, I know its illegal and over here in Cali there's Zero Tolerance and if you get caught some cities take your car for 30 days other just take it away indefinately and put it in the crusher. I used to street race when I was younger who has'nt...I proabably would have let the old fart go if he would'nt have laughed. Now the wife's all pissed off, you can imagine. I would have liked to have finished it at least to hit 6600 rpm in 5th gear (thats when I hit the trap in the quarter) so I could see who would have won. I know he would have smoked me in the top end but I'm curious to know if I would have got him in the 1/4. Let me know what you guys think.

Dude I understand, my GF used to get mad but now she sometimes TELLS me to race some people. I feel for yeah but if it makes you feel better I'M happy you wooped his ***. Just tell her to get over it nothing happened and it was fun and games, its your hobby, I bet she does shi* that annoys you but you let it go, at least I hope sh has something so that you can say that to her. Anyways good kill and good luck at home. ALSO where do you live in SO. CAL I live in Redondo beach you anywhere near?

[sm=bs.gif] mph = (rpm x tire diameter) / (gear ratio x 336)
mph = (6600rpm x 26" tire) / (2.5364* x 336)
mph = 171600 / 852.2304
mph = 201.35

*3.73 rear gear x .68 5th gear = 2.5364

With a 28" tire it's 216.84mph.

In 4th gear with a 26" tire it's 136.92mph and with 28" tire it's 147.45mph. I can't even see you hitting 137mph on a car equipped with a 73mm C&L.

And I could just say if you can't say anything truthful, it's better not to say anything at all. But it's your story. Make it as big as you want.
