Default Unbelieveable Kill Last Night

So i went to the car meet with all the guys on here, and im on my way to go drop my car off at a buddies..So im sittin at the stoplight minding my own business, listening to some badass old school backstreetboys When all of a sudden i look to my right and see this BADASS 97 Grey Ford Econoline..The guy looked over at me and threw a rev, im not gonna lie it sounded awesome, i sharted a little because of the shear ferocity of the beast. So the guy asks me, "Wanna race frum roll???" im a little scared cause it was pretty intimidating, i didnt say anything, and the light turned green and i left the light a little hard and he followed pursuit, so im cruisn along and he pulls next too me, honks and take off, i jump a little after him, and hes pulling, i VERY slowly start pulling on him, inch by inch, and then i finally pass him..It was a good Kill in the SS i must say...
Sorry guys i was bored, and me and my buddy were messing around and he tried racing me in his econoline tonight..lol

Nice kill.

Sounds about as amusing as the turbo Jetta I raced this evening. I've actually been in two other turbo Jettas of the same generation (circa '01 model year) and I thought they felt decently quick, but I guess feelings can be deceptive. It was an easy kill, even for my stock Camaro w/2.73s.

I can get that econoline a race with a '96 Buick Roadmaster wagon any time he wants. Should be a good run. Let me know.

That is too funny. That's almost as good as the guys who posted about spraying nitrous into the lawn mower and cutting the grass with it. LOL

I've considered doing something like that with my snowblower. Like a 5hp shot, just for some extra power going though that heavily packed snow at the base of the driveway.... Probably need to run a colder plug and some 100 octane though.
