Default CANNIBALISM

Sweet. I just leave the campus grounds when out of nowhere this nearly identical TA(mines a WS6)follows me out fishtailing. We finally get to the I10 axis roadand have a clear shot. We go from about a 30 roll, and he gets a jump. Pull through second and I get half a car as I shift into third. That's the way it ends as the next light's coming up fast. He follows me onto I10 and on come the sequential hazards. We play some tag but the traffic is heavy. Would have given him the thumbs up, but he exits before I get the chance. Cool. I think I have him for my last class, too!
Sorry so long.

Yup, always cool. Kinda feels like more of a challenge. I think we was modded some, cuz his car looked like a '98. The ones that come with the old style TA chrome rims, similar to the V6's. BTW Bronco, I can hardly get a Mustang around here to bite! I even had a late model Cobra brush me off(not the '03,UNIT) It's hard to get a bite when your lure's bigger than the fish!!

So is he in your class or your Prof.

I'm not really into racing siblings. I have
too much respect and would be more interested in
seeing their mods and feedback. Wouldn't really
rank it nearly as good as a Stang. It's like an
intersquad game VS a true rival. Just my .02
I understand that all GM shows happen all the time
and this is a big thing but street car to street car
I'd rather just cruise side by side.

Not too sure if he's in my class. Looked like this pretty boy in there. Just took a quick glance before I layed it down for him. El Taco is El Paso. Far west Texas. Got the best blend of culture around. Thanks to Ft.Bliss. Not to mention all the WOMEN!

racing other f-bods is great. You always know that they will give you a run for your money, and you get to see how the mods you performed compare you to other cars.
My favorite is to run stock ones (although extremely rare) ... that way you really get to see where your money has gone to.

I second that opinion, but can understand the other .02 also. I'm all about the competition. Don't matter who, just line'em up! The kill is better though when it's a good 'ol general vs. the blue oval guys. And you know what my money's on!

Good kill there Phoenix.

My most exciting series of races took place going head to head vs. another Z28 (a 98) for a night of 1/4 mile passes. We were so damn close, it made for great racing.

in my mustang, when i had it running a few months before the axle break, no mustang would race either. i have a nice hydraulic in the car in and beats on the ground pretty damn well for a small block. the prob is i had more run ins with f-bodies than with stangs. i enjoyed it cause i knew i was running a car that was pretty quick. i guess stangs have a mentality thinking that A). . That is one hell of an exhaust like we shouldnt run that car. B). . The car is an old stang lets not race it to keep it in good shape. anyways good kill man. hope to see more coming.
