Just as I grabbed traction and started to leave the starting line, I returned to reality and saw same yellow ??? at the next light already. What the.... How the.... Uhh... wtf just happened. I go home sad and defeated but curious. I opened my car bible and started looking for what that car was. After 2 hours of searching, i find it. A 1960's era Ford GT40 (note: not ford GT, as these weren't made in 2000). HOLY SHEAT, I Got my @ss handed to me by a GT40!!! WOOOOOT! I still feel privileged
that's cool, I think I have seen one of these. And it didn't slap me around, I got to stand 5 ft from it. I was at the Wixom Ford plant and wondered what this little building was when they were unloading my truck so I went for a little walk. I glanced inside the door and there were about 200 Ford GTs being built. I thought that was cool.

Coolest win: 0-120 run with a modded NSX.
Coolest loss: Roll race with a Lamborghini Diablo. Though I was pretty happy since I was right next to him until I threw it into 5th.

Gave a Ford GT with blue paint and white stripe's a thumb's up and goosed the throttle, he did the same and got out of it. So i slamed the throttle down. About the time i pulled a fender on him (before he touched the throttle) That thing ROARED like it was a evil monster and pulled about 5-8 length's on me in about 2 seconds....

I grined for like 20min on my way to work from that one.

Best win was against a group of Subi's and EVO's. They actually thought my little 5.0 was no threat. I expected to get raped. D:

Worst loss was against an Acura of some kind. I took off from him at a stoplight and he got into it but seemed like he couldn't find traction. He pulled up next to me, brake boosted and waited until I went. By the time I was shifting to 3rd, he was at the next light and passing....

Buick Grand National, I've both wasted and been wasted by them. One of my favorite cars ever.

I can't say say kill or killed because we weren't side by side but I ran into a Bentley GT on the highway recently. I was on the way home from the track, and guess he noticed the soap-numbers on my windows, because right after I passed him (in normal driving) he jumped on it and flew past - I followed and stayed right with him, but I can't say for sure if I would have been able to pass... we slowed when we saw some other cars... after traffic clears I jump on it and he followed... We happend to get off the next exit together- I'm about to get out to talk and give him compliments on his car but he beats me to it and wants to know "what the he.. you got done to that thing?"... so I asked him what we got up to since my speedo only shows 145... he said he was doing about 170 the first run and about 160 the second time... and both times we slowed for conditions- not because the cars couldn't do any more... needless to say I am very impressed with the Whipple since my little 281 was out there playing with a 6.0 twin turbo W12

As for kills and been killed, both have happened; but this was probably the most impressed I've been with the car- you gotta love it when you impress a guy in a $200k+ car that can hit 200+mph..
