So here I am on Gulf To Bay on the way back from a friend's house minding my own business when a 2001-2002 Celica GT-S rolls up besides me. Thinking nothing of it I continued my 40mph pace to the light for 19 N. when the 30 year old attention-starved jackass whips in front of me to get in the turning lane first. I'm sure he got a good rise out thinking how easily his fast approaching middle aged bald spots and 180hp of 4 cylinder fury just cut off 2 guys in a Firebird. I was in a good mood and about to let him go until I saw him drop the hammer at the light and start weaving in and out of traffic. Who does this goon think he is? To me a chase is a hell of a lot more fun than drag racing so I gave him a few seconds to make some distance before I closed the gap. We look over and there he is grinning ear to ear like he actually stood a chance. I dropped to 4th gear to let this guy know he just messed with a 300HP straightpiped LT-1. As the sound of my engine resonated and set off car alarms in the nearby parking lots I figured this guy would get smart and back off a little. Instead he insisted he could do this and tried several times to advance on me. After his 4th or 5th attempt I dropped to 3rd right around 70mph and watched his headlights fade into the darkness then resumed the posted speed limit. As we approached the last curve before the overpass we notice the little Celica finally caught up and was ready for the 90mph patented ricer flyby so i let him get about a car length behind me before dropping to 3rd once more. His car never got as close as my rear bumper for even a second as I put about a half a mile of distance between us on the overpass. He behaved himself after that.

 

ahh yes cocky people, the most fun to blow the doors off of. The best way to find them is to look for new semi quick cars that yet to have a real license plate, dealers are bound to do their job and convice the happy customer they have just purchased "lightning quick acceleration". This has happened to me several times with RX8s and M3s... I love that look on their face like..."wtf did i buy"

 

Good Kill StevO....sometimes you have to just let people like that know that if they are gonna drive like Mario Andretti through traffic, they'd better have a car that is just as fast! Especially people going through their mid life crisis. Bout time I saw one of your posts in War Stories...I know you have enough of them.

 

LOL funny shit,and good kill.

 

chasing someone and weaving in and out of traffic.... that sounds a bit rice to me

 

You are a bit rice to me. You must know the guy in the GTS and be a member of the 180hp club too. Get a real car then post. Peace!

 

^i waited until traffic was clear before i caught up to him jackass.

 

Maybe you should take your own advice and quit racing a truck, those are for hauling wood in not racing.

 

im curious what a real car would be... if its fast, its fast...i dont care if its a VW fox or a bugatti veyron.


btw, LT1's are sl0w.

 

Number one, I dont race my truck. I dont go around calling people out and chasing people through traffic. Number two, even if I did, why dont you tell that to all the Lightning owners out there who race their trucks...granted they are a little faster than me, but back in 88, my truck was the "lightning" I agree with Sneakin, if a cars fast, I have no prob, so why do you have a prob with a Formula Firebird chasing some idiot who cut him off through traffic?
