Default LSwhat?

my first race ever in my mach was against a ls1 (i was so happy what are the odds). i was in LA at ariund 12 am, i had my gf in the car goin home. i was in the left lane about to turn. across the street there was this copper colored SS with chrome corvette rims, looked pretty nice. he was at a gas station and as he was about to pull out, he saw me, u-turned and got set up to pull out on the same street i would be turning on. i try to teach my gf things about cars all the time but its difficult, i told her "that is the ss camaro, the fast one, look, you can tell he wants to race me, he' waiting for me." (u could tell he was an antsy/agressive driver, every little move he made was quick and xagerateda hemoved around in the gas station.as my light turned green, i got to second in the middle of the intersection. as i straightened up, he pulled around me. I didnt wait to honk, i didnt signal, or nothin i just punched it and he did too at relatively the sam time. mach owners no what happens when you floor it at 30-40mph in scond gear, the car leaps quick!! i went to third and pulled a car on him with my shift and i just left it there untill redline, he wasnt pulling on me but i wasn't leaving him, we stayed even after i gained a car on him. i just let off after that, gas is too expensive and he wasn't pulling, plus my gf was gripping the seat telling me to slow down.

The race was over and he pulls up next to me and revs hard again!! i told my gf, he just got dealt with and he's coming up beside me reving to restore any dignity i give him, i didnt rev back, he knew what was up, he didnt really want it again, i let him go in front of me so he could see what its like, his license plate said race or die, well i guesshesays it all ---> [sm=owned.gif]

QUESTION: why do maro owners insist on insulting our stangs? "rustangs" "mustinks" "mustangs get walked by maro's any day of the week, what day was that then? havent they heard of a mach, 4v's or cobras?4v's are notpunk engines, either are ls1's butafter my experience, ls1's are nothing to fear. i dont no why i used to, i guess the name carries a lot ofconotation.

give respect to all american muscle, give hell to all who challenge

Sounds like a good race, but remember you only won by a car, there was no "owning". I am not making exscuses for a Camaro guy with a bad attitude, it just seems your making out like you beat the guy by 10 car lengths. I always thought a Mach and a LS1 was a drivers race[&:]

it was fun and i do think its a drivers race myself, my older brother who had a bullitt said there was no way i would beat it, maybe cus he never did, i no i didnt really own him, i really just liked the smiley. if owning is ten car lengths then the most i could seriously own is some weak 4 banger, but why waste the gas on that?

Compared to a Mach, a Bullitt is pretty slow. I am not suprised he thought you would lose if he was used to getting pulled by them in a 2V.

Rule #1 The LS1 can never lose!!!
Nice kill felt great huh.
Soon Team LS1 will come and say how bad the driver was and you should have lost by 2 Buslengths.

I'm not standing up for the SS owner because he does sound like a douche...but you did hit it without any warning which is kinda cheap. Having momentum is a huge advantage in a race...especially one that would be close anyway. Other then that good kill

3 of us here so far and no, doesn't look like any BS flags are flying.
Good run.[sm=smiley20.gif]
