Default First win and first loss in the Z

drivin around in my 95 Z yesterday with the girlfriend when i get to a red light. i hear something comming down the road and it sounds pretty good, i look to my right and its a edge Mustang. Hes starts revving at me seeing i was lookin at him. so i yell over to him, "on green we go"! light goes green and i will admit he got the jump, only about a half a car, and around 45 hes not goin anywhere as im stoppin his pull and starting my own. by 75 i was ahead and by around 100 i was 1-1 1/2 cars up. i shut it down at 110 with the same distance ahead i was at 100. we meet up at the next red light and i smile at the kid and say "nice run bro". he then proceeds to curse at me saying and i quote: "do you know what this is? this is a 99 GT and its not running right and thats why i lost to your piece of ****!" i then start laughing at this kid and asked him about his mods but he pretended i wasnt there. his gf on the other hand was looking at me and smiling and i watched as my gf gave this girl the death stare lmao. as the light went green he had one last thing to say: "my brothers got an 03 Cobra and hes gunna find you and kick your ***!". so the light goes green and and he takes off. i drove around the entire day looking over my shoulder for the Snake and never saw it, until around 10pm.

Im sitting at a light right next to the highway after i dropped my gf off (and this part of the highway was a little farther down than my original run) when i hear a distinct whining sound. i hear this guy revv up next to me and i say to myself "o ****!" sure enough it was the kids brother and he asked me if i had in fact raced him earlier. i said yes and he says "lets race." he wanted to go from a 40 roll, so we turn onto the highway and were nice and even at 40 and he honks it off, 1,2,3 GO!!!! Itwas like i was standing still i shut down at 110 again with him easily going 140 and 3 cars AT LEAST ahead of me. I follow him to a gas station and we wound up talkin for 20 mins or so and he was the cool brother of the two of em apparently cause he was a really nice guy!

So theres my first win and my first loss. I knew I was gunna lose to the Cobra but im not gunna be a wuss and turn down a good run especially when it gives me the chance to meet some good people down here. O by the way my mods are CAI, Magnaflow Catback and cat delete. Thats only a contributing factor to losin to the Cobra, the other is auto tranny and LT1

hope you enjoyed it!

Good runs. Too bad the GT owner had to be a **** stain about the situation.

Good Kill and Loss (its an 03 though what to be expected)

Thats why you lay a 125 shot on it. Never use it unless you absolutly have to. Then the 03 owner wouldnt have known why this LT1 was giving him one hell of a Run. Im N2O for Life.

yea i knew the 03 snake was gunna beat me but thats ok, i lost with dignity, and thanks for the advice but im not really one for N20, i eventually wanna do heads, cam, intake, stall converter, shift kit and after that, gears, finish exhaust and some visual mods ill be done

You have a good attitude, man. Nice kill, and honorable death. It's all about the fun, whether you win or lose, right?

Yeah I used to feel the same way as you bout the bottle. That was until I rode in a buddies 99 camaro SS with a 200 shot on a stock bottom end. It was like I had seen the Light LOL.

But its cool if ya not down with the spray I respect that. Its just a good way to have some ***** and giggles.

That's what some of my friends have said. "I used to be against nitrous or thought it was cheating... until I took a ride in your car." or something along those lines. It's addictive.

Good kill and death man. I hate people like that first guy, there is a guy like that here with a gxp that wanted to race me. After it was over, he told me he was gonna go get his daddys rousch mustang and come give me a spanking. I'm still waiting. You do have a good attitude about it though, and as far as the juice goes, I am considering some myself.

I feel the same way about it, to bad he had to go cry to his older brother. When something like that happens to my younger brothers, I ask them what did they do to deserve it. I would've asked why his younger brother is so uptight. If the younger brother has a GT, then the older has a Cobra, I wonder what the dad drives
