So I get off work today and I'm headed the usual route home when I catch a light. Minding my own business, actually on the phone with my lady finding out what we're going to do tonight and a Firebird pulls up next to me. The passenger notions to me to go at the light change and I hang up real quick and wait for the light to change. Light turns green and I'm out. I put a quick 2 cars out of the hole and then put 2 more and then disappointment sets in. The firebird that I was so eager to race turns out to be a V-6 and a complete waste of time. They pull up next to me and give me all sorts of props for the car being so quick and I thank them, but inside I'm pissed about even racing them. Damn it!!!

So a few more miles down the road a younger guy like myself in a very new C6 Vette pulls out in front of me. We are driving through traffic flirting with the open road when low and behold the light changes for us. Things I noticed about the car. Exhaust, and brake upgrades. Looks liek some work has been done. "TURN ON NITROUS". Waiting for light. Light turns and I pull him through 1st gear. Wait wheels spinning hard and corvette fights back. Dead even after 1st. Short shift to 2nd. Put a bumper on him and granade tires again Corvette up by 1/2 car even shorter shift to third. Corvette is up 1/2 car and looks to be pulling, third gear starts working. No more wheel spin for me and I close 1/2 car pull up by a nose and keep pulling. Top of third gear and I'm up 1 whole car, shift to fourth and put 1/2 a car more and Vette backs down. We slow down for the next light and he give me big thumbs up and I shoot back a wave and thumbs up back. I can't say I would have lost without nitrous because the wheel spin I experienced was crazy. The car is way to hard to control on the street with it. I just wanted a good race to see how it would do on the street and now I know. I won't be doing that again!!!!
I just couldn't believe how hard I pulled on the Vette once I got the car planted and moving forward. Traction with 20's is non-existant.

 

You type stories well.

 

Very nice kills. If you had some 17" or 18" DR's I would like to see what you would do with no spin and no nitrous. What mods do you have?

 

i couldn't follow the vette race. too many 1/2's.

 

LoL, I just noticed that.

 

All the 1/2 add up to a whole.

Good races.

 

I meant it in the sense that it was one of the rare long posts that are entertaining to read all the way through, and even gets more gripping as it goes on.

 

nice wins

 

Guess I used too many 1/2's but that's how it played out. A back and forth battle as the Mustang was trying to get traction. I can't wait to get the drag radials for my car. The 20's look nice and all, but they don't hook for crap!!!

 

Nice runs dude! At least you balanced out the crappy first race with a fun second one [8D]
