Default So i had a string of fails/ almost races.

so many cars I wanted to run this weekend, no one was interested.

Car one. Foxbody. pulls up to a local hangout, reving, clean as hell, pretty loud, after I started my car, no one wanted to race. like 4 f bodies and 6 mustangs including a boss. So much for that, I only had 20 miles on the drag radials. The kid with the fox was really cool thought, and his car was much cleaner than mine.

Next day I pull up to a light in the turning lane, and a dude is sitting there in a "Tesla model S" dude looks to be at least 60, asking me what was done to my car, then proceeds to tell me he has "425 hp, all electric, and 0-60 in 5.5"
Im not sure why he left out that those cars are almost 5000 lbs, but oh well. then he looks at me, and says "after the light goes green..." and points ahead. I was like is this guy serious? im facing oncoming cars in the turning lane across me. granted I probably could have gotten ahead before the intersection was over, but still. he seemed to realize this, mentioned a car show he frequents, and said next time!

Same trip, me and a buddy still laughing about the Tesla, dude comes flying up in a 05-09 GT with a huge wing. revving all over. I got up right next to him and punched it for a second, and he refused to even look over. Great. Then dude comes flying up my *** in a GTR, really nice pearl white color, revving and doing little pulls. I pulled up, and did a 3 second pull, then hit the brakes cause there were tons of cars. never got another chance, and my exit came up. he got off the same exit, and I was hoping hed follow and chat, but he kept going. im assuming he would have won, but for fun heres a pic



objects in mirrow are losing, lol. to make matters worse, I come on here and everyone had like 12 races this weekend.

Its cam only, 231/235 from tick, 3800 stall, and full bolt ons, on drag radials. Its not super fast, only 400hp, but its a good combo that works.

Yea dude. When I first got it I was like omg, this auto is gay, swapping IMMEDIATLY. Then after the stall I was like.... This is the greatest car on earth. 6 speeds impress high school kids, stalled autos go fast!
