Default First kill for the spring!

So I was on my way to my dads house to pick up my lunati cam!!! Pick up and make a stop at the parts store, I park and this 09 gt with a saleen body kit and at least headers and exhaust pulls up and parks. We walk in, and he gets out first and waits in his car till I come up... I walk out and he fires it up LOL, so now I am like it's ON!

He waits till I get in and start my junk, and as we pull out of the lot onto the street, he guns it and I make chase. We even up and start to slow and both shift into first, 4 flowmasters screaming together... I give him the hit and he jumps half a car, but by the top of 1st I pull the half back fast, grab 2nd at 6,500 and start my pull... I walk away by about a car before the top of second and let off, he pulls next to me and gives me a thumbs up and took his death like a man, LOL.

To bad just not long ago going to dinner with my preg wife, a built 4th gen and. Cobra were rolling together. They were trying to get some but I was a no go, the wife would have a hart attack! So pissed man, that would have been fun!

Spring isn't for another 11 days.

Good thing you didn't mess with that LS1 or Cobra, might have gotten more than you bargained for.

Better bring your A game lol! You would be suprized what this car with headers will do to a stock one.

Cam is going in next weekend, should run strong! I did allot of homework, I bet I will be out running some of these other 5th gens with there donkey dick cams. LOL, track opens soon here so I am looking forward to some new times. Gonna be a bitch on stock rubber! I was wish I could have played with that cobra, last one I raced I edged out 2 out of 2... I been waiting to run into another one since then! Really bad timing,

Good kill! I love random encounters where you're not sure how things will go down.

Some people need to realize that everything they post doesn't need to be an attempt to be "funny".

Yep, 12.6s 112 with 113 being my best mph. That's with my ok driving too, this is my first stick car that I have been racing... Been racing stalled auto's in my oldsmobiles for a long time. But I am getting better and feel like I am learning my car pretty well. The cam should get me rolling pretty good, looking for mid 11s after I get some tires and axles, get the car setup good and working. That would at lest get me back to were I left off with my old car.
