Default First race of the year!

I was leaving town when a big diesel truck turned behind me, don't know what it was he just kept spooling the turbo.

We got on the highway leaving town and he pulled around to my rear fender at 60, then I puched it. I only put about 1 car length from 60-120 on this thing. I let off at about 130ish with him about 2-2.5 behind. He turned on the next road.

He flashed his lights before he turned, i didn't know what that meant???

I have to do some mods, he may have taken me from a dig. The only thing that helped me was aerodynamics over 100.

This was in your SUbaru Forester, right?

No? In the '79 Z28?






Can you lie to me? Please? lol there's some fast diesels out there, no doubt: you just ran into probably the fastest one in your state if he kept with a full bolton LS1 from a highway roll! Those things have killer 60' and 1/8 mile times, but not very good mph.

No, it was the Camaro. Maybe it was the fact that he was probably 5-10mph faster than me when he hit my rear fender. I was a little worried until we hit 100 and his brick like aerodynamics took over.

Freaking diesels, time for a intake, maybe some heads.
