i know this isnt that impressive, but its my first kill in my 06 GT(stock) so i have to talk about it. so im on the way home from work one saturday, and ive only had my stang for 2 months so i still take the long way home. im on a 4 lane road that i usually only take for about a tenth of a mile before i get off and take a parkway home. i had gotten in the left turn lane like i usually do when i see this nice looking new Z4 in the right lane, so i decide to get in the left lane and see if i can taunt him into a race. ive tried this many times before and noone has EVER take me up on it, so i wasnt very optimistic that this guy would try me. i pulled up next to him and of course i revved the engine a couple of times. he wouldnt even look at me. so i figured he didnt want any, and when the light turned green i just pulled out like i nothing was going on. well, he was sandbagging i guess, and he pulls off like a bat outta hell. the next light was only about an eighth mile away and it was red, but i mashed it anyways. he had me by a car length when i hit it, and when i shifted into second i got a SWEET tire chirp(tc was on btw), and halfway thru second we were even, and by about 5k rpms in second gear i had him by a car length. at the light there was a guy in his lane so he got into my lane behind me. heres where it gets good. between this light and the next is maybe 3/8 mile. i just took off, little bit of a wheel spin, but a great launch. he took off with me, but by the time i hit second he was 2 lengths behind me, third at least 3 behind, and when i got outta third into fourth (bout 100mph) i had him by 4 or 5 car lengths and then we both had to slow down for the next red light. when he pulled up next to me i looked over, and its this older(maybe 55, im 25) guy, and he leans out goes "nice car, great race!" and gives me the big thumbs up, so of course i gave the thumbs up back to him. it was a great rush just street racing, win or lose, and i really cant wait to do it again.

 

[sm=smiley20.gif] heck yea

 

no no no no no don't street race on crowded streets...

 

most BMW 3 series or Z series drivers think they're above the law and have the fastest thing on 4 wheels. not a day goes by that i don't see at least 6 different BMWs weaving in and out of traffic going like 80 in a 55. i LOVE it when you stop at a light next to one and their lane ends and they have to merge. they think their might BMW can easily pass ANYTHING. that's when you make their ***** go back to it's original size.

nice kill, i'd think you should have had him by more than a car in that one race though. TC or not.

 

congrats on the win. Z4's arent anything to slouch at. i think they have the 3.0 6-cyl engines, with that lil chassis, theyre quite the little rocket(so to speak)

 

Good kill, they can run low 14s.

 

they're slugs. my stepdad's is slower than dirt. they weigh almost as much as our cars and they're only a 2 seater roadster.

 

HISSS04COBRA, it really wasnt a crowded road at all. it was pretty dead, i know you have to be careful dude, i totally agree with you

 

Good kill, and a kill is a kill no reason to say its not impressive.

 

REALLY ??? daaaaayuuuuum. i thought they were light cars and thats why theyre so "fast"(using that term LOOSELY)
