ORIGINAL: garygreen211

I was going home from work and I see this lancer behind me, driving recklessly, trying to have a rally in the middle of traffic jam, using zero brains. I down shift, and put no less than 20 car lengths on him while he miscalculated and changed lanes to the other side where it was crowded. So I come to a traffic light, 2 cars in front of me, I'm on the far right lane and he comes to the same traffic light on the far left, 1st person. I sit there and think, I gotta race him. So I reverse and change across 2 lanes behind him. I saw the guy looking in the mirror, it's like oh ****, I don't believe that, and shacking his head. Doomed! TC off, clutch in, revving, light comes green, he launches and I launch. The coward decided to quit the race and hide in the nearest gas station, like across the intersection. (changed from far left to far right, about 200 ft) Even before he pushes the brakes I had him in 1st gear, 2nd gear I put about 10 car lengths on him as he turns into the gas station, 3rd gear power shift, 4th gear power shift, then to about 4500 rpm and I let go. No sight of the coward, or any other cars behind me, none.

4500 rpms in 4th gear is like 140 MPH

Which is probably why he didn't see any other cars behind him, none.


Professional driver... yeah and I'm an airforce pilot.

GARY - this is the thread you are so pissed of about?!?!

You are a fuggin tool dude. You come in here with a stupid story like this and when people call you on it you make a couple of posts about how "this site blows"?!?!?! What did you expect us to say? "yay, you are our hero for backing up and racing a 140 hp car who was turning."

I also call BS on the pro driver and I call you a tool again for doing what you did....and yes, Dan is right 4500 RPM in 4th gear is 140 MPH.

TOOL!

It happens about once per month, the funny thing is that they are always "pro drivers" or "been around this stuff forever" type people. The truth is that a true car guy/girl can spot a poser/newb a mile away, usually within the first sentence they say/type.
