Ls4 kill stories
I beat a ls1 t/a from a 60mph kick. i did get the jump on him but I was still ahead when I let off at about 120. his front bumper was at my rear. little bit further and I am sure he would have passed me.

I ran into a 455 4 barrel 1970 Grand Prix the other day up on Telepgraph. There were two old guys in the car, they looked over at me started gunning their engine. Light changed, they hit the car and spun the tires a little. I just kind of rolled forward, waiting till I gained some traction and then nailed it.
I walked right by them before I hit 50 and just keep pulling away. We pulled over and they were cool. Both the old guys were happy to see a Grand Prix with a V8 in it, but were kind of pissed off when they found out I was a FWD 325 and had smoked their 455 RWD.
What amazed me was the guy was the guys were telling me that according to GM their car made 370 HP and 500 LB-FT Torque at crank stock, yet they ran 14 to 15 second 1/4 miles. Talk about your drive train loss!

i know this is laughable, but i murdered a 98-2000 cavalier. i couldnt help it, i swear. he had a giant wing on the back of it....probably stood a good foot and a half up from the trunk and it had the pepboys flame stickers on the sides along with a sweet fartcan that i could probably park my car in. he was revving his engine at a stop light going out of town, i started laughing and punched it, left him really really quickly, got about 4 cars on him before i started to slow down at 55-60. he tried to do the looser flyby so i punched it again, leaving him another 4-5 lengths behind.....then i slowed down. he didnt look over or anything, he was up on his steering wheel like he was trying to hump it or something....

I cannot find a single sole to race....not even the import guys around here want to play.
The only racing I have seen was the day I picked my car up form the dealer...some guy in a 93 turbo was riding my *** on the highway, so i let him pass, and then he cuts me off slams on the brakes and almost hit me...all while going 70.
So I punched it, had him by 2 car lengths.....but we were going 133mph....
Fastest I have ever gone in a car...lots of fun

Two weeks ago on the Verranzano bridge i had a guy in a new BMW 650 ci. He pulled up next to me and then he punched it for a quick burst. I waited till we came out of the toll next to each other and from a slow roll i hit then he did I had about a two car length lead and he never gained and inch on my.. i let off at 110. THat was before my tune and i assume he was going all out. My father in law has the same car.. its an 8 cyl w/ i think 340 0r 360 horse. I know they are made for top end but i still had him.. Im sure he was pretty pissed staring at the back of a $30,000 chevy

Oh I know I wasn't disputing the fact that it happens, it's just telling the story obviously isn't anything to brag about....unless the ricer is packing something good under the hood. But that's rare, atleast around here all the imports who can actually run are pretty much stock looking and not all riced out.
Man, I've killed rice from day one. Some good runs, and alot of really bad ones, I just can't imagine telling all the stories of all the races I've had, lets say 99% of them Ive won, and the others Ive lost to myself, not the rice factory. Don't get me wrong there are some awesome ricers out there I just haven't raced any of them! At least in my neck of the woods.
