Default Craziest challengers!

Ok so we all here about kills on Vettes, LT1's, Evo's, and even Stang's. But I wanna hear about the funniest challenges that people gave you. Ones that just blew your mind because they even thought they could keep up! For example, Yesterday on my way home from the car show a DAEWOO, yes a DAEWOO, with aerodynamic dents on the drivers side and a turboblue sticker to boot, was in front of me at the light and when it turned greenI thought he was gonna break in half after the nuetral slam! SoI can see him eyeing me in the rearview so I figured oh this should be fun and pulled up along side and he was justa winding that sewing machine! So I toyed with the throttle and beat him to the next light where he thought he almost had me and wanted to try again! Gas is to expensive for that!

I had a punk kid in an old beatup, rusted Datsun pickup (with no muffler) rev at me from behind when I was at a red light once. I had to endure about 50 seconds of that racket until the green light set me free. I think I lost sight of him by the time I was halfway thru second gear.[8D]

I had a kid in a civic that was blipping his throttle at meand jumping ahead a little then backing downat me as we were coming over an over pass, you know trying to nag me on. This was late at night and he had a friend I could see asleep in the passenger seat. I was minding my own business but got tired of him doing it. Well I have a loud *** exhaust when i get on it and theecho off the side of the walls of the over pass makes it even louder. I was cruising along in 3rd gear and dropped it to second before he could jump ahead again and just got on it hard. His sleeping friend wasoblivious to what he was doing and just about jumped out of his damn seat when my exhaust screamed. He sat up fast as hell and the look on his face was priceless.

I always get a kick out of the 4 door long bed full size trucks that come to the track. Every truck with a turbo or Hemi seems to think they are fast, always good for a laugh afterwards "You beat him by 4 seconds...in the 1/8th?!? haahahahhaha"

Really since when?...lol

Honestly Corvette kills are few and far between around here...I love hearing them though. At least9 out of 10 times the post will end with you should have seen the look on that snobs face when he got smoked by a Stang...lol...Ah yes those were the days on the S/S section..............SORRY TO HIJACK, NOW ON WITH THE THREAD. I would have to say soccar mom's in their SUV's that think because they have a V8 in theirlead sledthey're almost untouchable....I love seeing the look on their face when at a moments notice I need to move into their lane it's effortless, despite them romping on the gas with the all bark, no bite flowmaster Tahoes/Expeditions that they think are quick[8D]
