He pulled out of a parking lot and matched my speed as Im approaching a red light. We line up. Light turns green and I start off normal. He gets on it thinking hes gonna impress me. I step on it half way through first and start pulling hard. I loose some traction in 2nd but still manage to put 4 cars on him before I hit 3rd gear. In 3rd I put another 4 cars and then I let off. I think that most people mistake me for rice because I have after market wheels and exhaust. I get lots of races though.

I dont like them either. The body style is starting to grow on me but the power sucks in those cars. But in 2002 they will come supercharged. I might be impressed then.

Nice kill but you only beat it by 8 cars. What is up with that? You should have killed it by more than that.

I did let off about halfway through 3rd gear. 8 cars is just a conservative guess. I actually dont know how far behind me he was but it was pretty damn far.

Thanks John
I appreciate the kind words. Which car would you like to race me with? Im sure well run into each other sooner or later. I thought I saw you drive by me Sunday night on Dale Mabry in the S2000. I was heading north and you were going south by Miami Subs. It was around 10:00PM. Was that you?

They are slow as hell because I heard the V6 only make 140 at the wheels and thats a manual. Thats a loss of 60 horses

All blow - no go
