Default 01 GT vs LANCER

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.

Well, I'm a professional driver. Literally.


There was no traffic behind us. There are two traffic lights very close, all the traffic was behind on that 1st light. Just a few cars on the 2nd light.

still. not the smartest thing to do. even if you're a pro driver. backing up wasn't the smartest thing.

what kind of car and mods you have anyway? them regular lancers aren't shat.

Dude. I have a 360 mil rear view mirror, there is a difference between me backing up and you backing up. There wasn't any traffic back there, not a single car. I'm local at that intersection, I know all the timing, traffic paterns, even the cops. No problem backing up.


I have a stock mustang gt, with a short throw MGW shifter.

that still doesn't excuse the fact that you broke the law just to break another law by street racing.

No... Regular lancers aren't even game for sixers. lol

You backed up on a public street. (illegal)
You street raced. (illegal)

A "professional driver" who is trained should know better than that. I call BS on that part, and I can't believe you felt the need to waste gas on a 120 hp lancer.
