I kinda felt bad for that kid even though he's a dumbass. I bet someone asked what it trapped in the 1/8th mile and the kid assumed 1/4 and just came up with the 115mph number because it sounded right. It probably escalated from there and the kid stupidly made it worse for himself with the **** talking and never racing. The kid should have just said I'm being stupid, race the guy and get at least some type of credit for trying.

I was out in the Regal the other night MMOB driving along on the highway. Having seen nothing but 4 cylinder commuter cars, SUV's and mini-vans for the past 2 months I've all but completely given up hope on ever finding races. In the distance of my rear-view I could see a car with HID's and fog lights coming through the light traffic. Thinking back to my early days of training, HID's + fogs + aggressive driving style is a potential race at least 3 out of 5 times (google it if you don't believe me). Low and behold it was a GTO!

I slowed down a little so that he'd catch up quicker... but then he flew past me texting on his I-phone . The car was an LS1 with an LS2 hood, fake HID's and at least a loud catback. I caught up to him and got his attention with the blower, since that's all that makes any noise on my car. He put his phone down and just hits the gas . I follow suit and quickly stopped his pull, but from 70-100 I was still behind and he hit the brakes.

He then thought it was cool to drive 90+mph for the next 3 or 4 miles. I was hangin around behind him until he had to slow down a bit for some cars. I took the right lane and got ahead of him as he was stuck behind a Prius doing 60 in the left lane. The Prius moved over and I saw his headlights lift. Starting from about 2 cars back he had a good running jump. I hit it (now in the middle lane) and he came flying up past me. But this time I didn't let him get away... He pulled around me and got to about 3/4 of a car in front and that's where his pull stopped. I started creeping back around 90mph. By 110 where I shift to 3rd we were even, and much to my surprise I was still pulling away. I let off about 130 up a solid car and a half. This was particularly impressive to me because he got such a huge jump.

I guess maybe he'll think twice before trying to do flyby's on an old Buick Regal again
NO WAY you could pull on a GTO from a highway roll when they get a start on you ..... oh wait I forgot your buick is way faster than my 5.0.

Or maybe my story did happen like I said after all............

I'm not trying to stir up **** here, I actually belive your story. It's just funny how any other thread where a GTO gets beat you come in talking about how thats impossible blah blah and now you did the same thing to one... ironic.

Someone just had to spoil a good thread...
The fact that you're comparing these 2 stories blows my mind. You said a GTO (6.0 m6) had a 4-5 car jump on you and then you blew by him.

I said an auto 04 GTO got a jump on me from behind but never pulled a car on me...

Also my Regal is faster than an A4 04 GTO by a good amount, your car is a drivers race with a stock 6spd 6.0 from a roll.

I have to ask though... are you serious???

I dont want to internet bench race or compare epeens with you(obviously we dont agree so its pointless), I was just pointing out the irony.

Internet bench racing and comparing epeens is exactly what you just did... with two wildly different scenarios. THAT'S Irony.

Good race, man! I'm definitely looking forward to getting some races on video this year against the Regal. Maybe I will finally start modding up and try to get the win back

The LS2 goats can be pretty quick especially at the hands of Ju1ce who's just an excellent driver. Don't see why it's so difficult to understand that???

Same can be said for his Regal, Ju1ce just knows how to drive.

Damn, where was my call? LOL, havn't been to the casino in almost a year! I usually play the 25 cent slots and get wasted with the free drinks......but I am a stingy bastard.

2011 5.0 will walk a LS2 GTO. Sorry Juice, but I've driven enough miles in a 5.0 to know that for a fact.

He just waits for a regal thread to pop up to try and talk **** since the goat would embarass him....I wish we could see the regal v mystic.

He thinks we care that you troll the gp site.

Well for your sake Ju1ce I hope that goat was cammed or something. Because my GTP with stock cam/heads was dead even with a M6 LS1 goat with headers and intake.
