Default Won a 6 pack today!

Well gent's here I am washing my car today and this guy whom I'd raced about three months ago pulls in behind me. He has a 06 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP. When we raced the last time he only had a tuner so, well you guys know the outcome. He comes up to me and tells me, he's spent about 2 grand and perfomance parts. Borla catback exhuast, some sort of aftermarket cai system and a couple more things (at this time I'm vacuming my car and could barely hear him).. One thing caught my ear tho. I think I can take you now (this is the kinda sh** that you just can't make up)..I was like I tell you what. I was going to buy me a six pack of BL and if you beat me I'll buy you one. If I win you buy me one. He's like bet. So we go on a part of the local 4 lane highways that's not heavily used on the weekends. We start out at a 35 mile per roll. He honks and on the 2nd honk he takes off (I was like this cheating SOB)! I get on her real hard and began to negate his lead. After we shut off at 90 or so I had a good 2 car lead on him (if not more). So we ran again. This time from a dead stop. I know this would be a problem for me because with the blower and 410's I have to get off on her just right. He honks and I spin a little and he's about a car in the lead. After I got her under control, I began to pull and after about a 100 or so it was a massacre. I can see he was really dissapointed but damn that beer tasted so da** good! Hey guys also a update. I droped the intercooler a bit. Let me know what you guys think!

That intercooler looks ten times better dropped! That car makes me drool, man. Nicely done.

Good story, Soldier. Sounds like a slaughter, lol. That GXP should've spent that 2 grand on a cam or something instead. You can make a 5.3 quick, but he's gonna need a hell of a lot more than an intake and a cat-back to run your car down.

You've got me wanting a beer now too, btw

Thxs my man.. I felt kinda bad as I sat outside the local watering hole and he went inside to get the six pack.. He was in good spirits at this time. He informed me that he would be looking for me again in a month or so. Guess it's time to install the LT's, lol!

Intercooler lowered = pure sexiness!!


Loved the story, free beer is always better. Especially when it's from a "Government Motors" owner

To be fair, your car was built before they took any money, so it gets a pass from me. As does the GXP I spose.

I hear that man. At least they paid it back (so they claim). Still not cool though.

Nice race, I love the gxp's but it's going to take him a fair bit of work to run with your car
