Default 07 Impala SS vs 98 Cobra Vert

Last night was out hanging with some friends, when this new in town yellow convertible cobra comes by and revs at us. So me and the wife hop in and take chase. They slow down to 35,and I downshift to 1st. I give them a couple revs and they acted like they didn't want to go, so I sped up and got in front of them and got ready to turn left at the light. They follow me. So I'm cruising along at 35, and they slowly creep up. As soon as they got next to me, they hit it. I take chase. And by 65 I catch them and by 100 had 3 cars on them. Sounded like they had exhaust at least and had gauges on the pillar(could be ricer gauges because it also has lambo doors ) They had 3 passengers and I had 2.


Here's the car and the "mustang crew"

I don't care what anybody says, Lambo doors are butt *** ugly. Ruins the look of the car, even though the big blue oval does that as well.

And besides the Lambo doors. They had about 6 lights on the front. 2 driving lights, 2 factory fogs, looked like baja lights. Was like WTF really. **** people do to their cars....

About a month ago I had this guy in a black 02ish cavalier with a BIG *** ******* wing, and green neons pull up next to me. I just looked at him because, surely he was kidding right. So he keeps pacing me and I finally let him have it. I turn around(since I missed my turnoff to go to Walmart ******* with him) and he goes "I would've had you if I wouldn't have shifted from 3rd to 4th" O_o Even my wife asked me "aren't you SUPPOSE to go from 3rd to 4th lol. ******* ricers. Neons were'nt even cool in 99 with the first FandF

There's some worse than that. The turbo swapped Cobalt I raced, he completely painted his car to look like a monster can. From headlights, to mirrors, to the body and rims. His car is completely black and green with a monster sticker on the back glass.

You see these are the kind of people who should just put a barrel in their mouth.

LOL...Freaking Lambo doors...

Saw an old man at a car show last year with a 2011 Vette with ugly-*** hood vents and Lambo doors. My Camaro was parked next to his car, so I went over to talk to him. He seemed very impressed with his supercharged LS3 and his "custom" bodywork. I thought the car looked like AZZ, but I tried to be nice to him, even though he was pretty dismissive since I only drove a Camaro.

Thing is, this guy had to be in his mid-60's, so he had no excuse for ricing out his Vette.

At least the yellow car in the pic above is only a Mustang. This guy basically ruined a brand new $55k+ car. Oh, and he also lied to me about his "600 RWHP" because I ran into him at CalSpeed in March, and he was getting tuned where he only put down about 512 RWHP. Some Vette guys, much like Mustang drivers, are just douchebags.
