sometimes when i am with my dad, and we are stopped at a light that we know will be a long light, and there is a car to the left or right of us, my dad puts it in revers and slowly start to back up, and the person in another car sees out of the corner of their eyes that a car is moving, and they think its them moving forward, they panic and slam the brakes, we saw this one lady scream once, its so funny.

Well, I have 01 GT, not the fastest car, but reality is that 98% of the time you are the fastest car. Ive lost to 350, and other exotics that were willing to race, american vs american is pretty rare, and I havent lost thus far, or raced.


I once was crusing, driver license out so not much fun, I do a 180 off a light, and in four blocks come to a red light. Behind me are firebird and vette. Not sure about specifics of firebird, could have been a V6 for all I know. So Im on first, and there comes the bird on my left, right next to me. Then a vette trying to park itself behind me, then changing his mind and goes to the other lane behind firebird. Intential of course, making fun of me. Well, I laughted, as it was funny, the vette thinking Im gonna loose. So light comes green, and I dont do anything at all. Bird waits like 4 seconds, then goes, not racing. Then I go, no confrtontations, because I know chances are I will loose. Im thinking I go past him in first, well my TC was off, so I end up spinning in 1st. It wasnt pretty.


Now with Ferrari (350 marinelo) it was easy, he seemed to put his auto clutch into position then fore it, and he was gone. But traffic held him back, and I was right behind him. He done some crazy **** and I match it, but he won the race flat out, lol.


I dont seem to be getting much fun at a light, as I said, 98% of a time I win, people just drive crap or they cant drive at all.

The only fun I could think of is coming slow to a light in 2nd, and timing it right, then stepping on it. You could be at 60 mph in no time, with no tire spin or drama.

lol
me, my best friend and my dad are at a stop light, and next to us is some old beemer like m3 i think, and its got like 3 teenagers in it (were in an 01 sts cadillac) and my dad isnt in the best of moods so when he takes off, he guns it a little, and the kids in the beemer take off (at this point theres probably a total of 400 lbs of poeple in their car and 520 in ours, but that pissed my dad off, and he just guns it (i mean like foot to the floor) and we just pass them, and the kid in the back has this awesome look on his face, looking out the front window as we fly by, it was funny.
