Default Post your worst death

Mine came from a modded LS1 Trasn am. I was driving the good old V6 vert which was stock as a rock too, I dont know why but the T/A insisted on messing with me. Then we caught a light. At that point I pretended not to see him(I didnt want to go down with a girl in the car with me) So he throws a rev I couldnt have not heard even If I was deaf. So I looked over and nodded. And basically he had the best launch I have ever seen, which put about 4 cars on me then he continued to pull(verry quickly) I Let off at about 60 and that was the last I saw of him...Lets hear em guys

my worst loss was at a street shootout two years ago. i waited through rain, and several big oil-downs, and at something like 1am, i had made my way to the finals...the two previous rounds, i had pulled off 501 lights...in the finals i had to run an OLD S10 dialed in at something like 18.80 (somewhere in the 18s...and i know that he had at least a 6 second jump). he left the line...and i waited through the 6+ second wait, and brought it up and the convertor all ready to run down this slow *** truck that seemed to have pulled a bad light

I let'er rip...

and went red...[:@]

i ran right on my dial, having blown past him around half track...he had screwed up his trans, and coasted across the line for the win and the money...with something like a 600 light and a 22 second run...[:@][:@][:@]

and my reaction time was a .499..

I was killed by a modded C6 before I knew how to launch my car. The length was embarassing. The vid is somewhere here on the net. No I won't look for it. Someone posted it on SVTforums and the backlash was ugly. Driver mod was used quite often. I never found out what the guy had done to his car. I can tell you the exhuast note was louder then my car and almost drowned out the blower whine. The death wasn't so bad because the race was just for fun. The backlash on SVTforums was what killed me and kept me from joining. Call me soft I guess.

My worse death was the other day to my co-worker's 96 3.8 Firebird..............





















.........he left about 2 minutes out of the parking lot before I could get to my GT. Guess that's his idea of bracket racing[8D]

I've never lost.

Except for that one time that the turbo miata killed me, and then there was the Z28 I didn't even know was there.
