Default S197, LS1 Z28, CLK 250, Dig runs

I got a couple good runs in this week. The first one was earlier this week with an LS1 Camaro. He was a manual with exhaust, other than that I don't know what was done. I could see his mid pipe hanging down low and could hear the aftermarket rumble, so that much was a definite. We were both lined up at a light with plenty of empty road ahead to stretch our machine's legs out a bit. The light went green and we both launched as hard as possible without burning rubber. I got a good bite and pulled ahead about half a car from the start. I held him off through 2nd gear as well. He stayed at my rear bumper about half way through 3rd, then he started to even it out. At the top of 3rd we are neck an neck, hauling ***. As soon as I shifted to 4th he slowly began to creep forward. I shut it down at 110 mph with the Z28's rear bumper about 3-4 feet ahead of my front bumper, so he pulled pretty good on me once I got out of 3rd. If he had of launched as well as I did, it would've been dead nutz even to 90 mph or so. So, the win goes to the bowtie on that one. No shame here, lol.

2nd run wasn't a big deal really, but I got to put some beyotch driving a Merc in my rearview. I didn't know she wanted to run at first, she just kind of took off on me. I know nothing about those CLKs, but this one was a 250 and once I got hooked up, I was passing her pretty quick. She jumped and had about 2 cars on me from a dig. I got into it hard, shifted into 2nd with some spinnage, hooked, evened it out at the top of 2nd, grabbed 3rd and flat walked away. I had about 3-4 cars on her by 70 mph where I shut it down. Of course, she came flying by me going ludicris speed... probably thought she ran me down or something, lol. Anyway, thought I throw a couple kills out there for you guys to read.

Check your PMs so you can add me to your kill list this weekend. I have yet to be challenged by a woman to actually "race." I think the ones with big rich cars think they have more of a right to drive like a complete ****tard really.

Good death/kill, that LS1 must've had a few bolt ons and a good driver mod.

PM replied to, Hangwire. I gotta work some this weekend, but I've still got plenty of time to link up with ya.

Dark, I'm 90% sure he was running an off-road exhaust. I'd imagine he probably has a tune and a couple other mods too considering most people don't stop modding after one mod. I want to say he had LTs too. I say that because it "looked" to me like collectors hanging pretty low to the ground, right where they should, but it could've just been the way his mid-pipe sits.
