Lol i got one better then that! (2 actually) End of last summer or so i was cruising on my way home. This is also a thursday night, which around me means all the ricers and anyone with a car that things there hot **** comes out and does stupid stuff. Im first at a red light at a 3 lane wide road. What pulls up to my left? a mid 90's riced out lime green civic with some young spanish punk driving and his Super hot girl in the passenger seat. I dont pay any attention because i just want to go home. We roll out and i get into 3rd @ 30 and he stays in 1st. He punchs it with all 1.6L of torqueless fury attempting to squeal the 185 front tires I pin it while still in 3rd! hes running it through 2nd and 3rd and i just keep my foot buried. at around 55-60 i pull up along side of him, glance over to see his girl looking at me smileing! then i just blow past him till about 75.. ahhhh that was priceless! to bad he didnt know i left it in 3rd

2 weeks later or so I am Yet again on my way home on a thursday night, just minding my own buisness when i roll up behind a herd of rice rockets going about 20mph on the same 3 lane road (speed limits 40) im in the right lane just passing them to go home. At the front of the convoy i see a mid to late 90's foxbody and a right hand drive integra... I think for about 3 seconds then start downshifting next to the foxbody. I go from 4th to 1st and everyone glances over at me hehehe the drivers and passenger of both cars look back at each other and get ready to go. I hear the 3 honks and i pin it! Dead hook form a 1st gear roll at around 25mph! I stay focused on the road in front of me and my tach and a second or two after i shifted into 2nd i looked back and saw both cars about 5-6 lengths behind me. I roll back to the speed limit and laugh hysterically as everyone drove by with there rice and all the cell phone cameras out recording Hahaha... ahhhh that was a triumph!

Lol yeah she never hooks when it would actually matter. But then again this particular night was AFTER my shocks, springs, and Nittos. A couple months ago, with my stock and super busted suspension and tires, I had a 07 GT Pony pull up next to me at a light on Bayshore Blvd. This was one of those "special" GT's with lots of plastic, vynils, and bolt ons....lol...straight from the dealership.

Anyway, Mr. Clean in the GT reved it a couple times and left me with two options...puss out or give it a go..lol. Light turns green and he was GONE...I was sideways through 3rd; scaring all the health nuts jogging down Bayshore Blvd lol.

Mr. Clean may have never turned a wrench on his dealership rocket, but none the less, I got burned that day lol.

My kill was getting killed by my buddys ls1 car. My buddy has an 01 TA with a WS6 hood with heads and a cam and full suspension. He works at Midwest Chassis so if you see the SOM TA pullin the wheels up on there thats his. Anyways we went for a cruise and i decided to play around since i had only had my car for a couple weeks, so i pulled up next to him at about 50 and take off. He lets me go and then hammers it. Before i know it he has 4 car lengths on me and i ended up letting him go. There was no way I was going to catch him with a bone stock lt1. Anyway it was fun seeing him rip through gears and he must have hit at least 130 cause he was pulling hard on me at 100. Oh well my 383 just got finished up so maybe ill be able to stay a little closer this time.

One time I sprayed on a stage 2 neon from a 15mph roll.

It was ******* EPIC MURDER. I put trains on him, not busses, trains.

I broke off a GTR on the freeway BADLY.. We hit it at 60, I was in 2nd and I walked him pretty hard to 150.. I haven't really had that many great races on the R1 because people assume it's fast as ****.

Best run I've had was against a sprayed smallblock powered datsun 280z. Dig to 130, he got me by a fender..

My best kill was at a little drag strip in Kentucky years ago. I was shaking down my 70 Nova 4.11's, Turbo 350 and 377 inch destroker with 150 shot. In the staging lanes I saw several locals betting cash on which lane would pull out the win. As I pulled around the water box I yelled out the window, I'll put 10 on the Nova. They yelled, gave the thumbs up and I did my burn out. Well I guess the guy in the 68 Cougar I was running wasn't amused and rolled his eyes and called me a stupid Hillbilly. After putting about 10 lengths on him and the guy at the timing tower told me not to come back until I got a helmet and a rollbar the Cougar boy wanted to see what I was running. Told him I didn't have time,I had to go collect the easiest 10 bucks I had ever won.

Been racing over 50 years and have lots of great stories. One time I was at a test N tune here with my 68 Nova, 283 Powerglide car. Ran a Turbo Supra and beat it to the finish line but it went past me about 40 MPH faster than I was going just past the line. Went back to the pits and found the car, told the guy I was happy I won because if a crap pile Toileta beat me I would have to burn my car. The guy was Ryan Woon He was on the line for a while after the light went green getting his boost up.

Al 68 Nova, 283, Glide, 4.88 12 bolt best time 12.00 @ 113MPH. Car held the AHRA national record for over four years. Sold it to a guy that promptly blew it up.

My truly greatest kill was with my 72 C3. Fully built 454. dynod at 440hp, 500lbs torque against a turbo civic. He was bouncing it off the rev limiter at a stop light. Just to give him a show, i punched it and spun through 1st and 2nd and pulled off. At the next light he wouldnt even look over at me. Second light went green and he wouldnt go until i left and got in front.

This is a kill story I had with my old ls1 c5 vette.
So one day me and my friend were out in his a4 99 ss with lid and catback and this ls2 gto pulls up next to us had exhaust and idk what else so we honk it off and do a 20 roll and the gto pulls about 2 cars ahead then we catch a light and he rolls down his window and says and that's off the bottle and laughs then takes off.
About a month later me and my friend are going to grab a bite to eat in my c5.mods were longtubes ,exhaust , intake, ls6 manifold, 342 gears,and tune it was a automatic. And we see the same guy so we follow him and he is with a female they both smirk and we honk it off at about 40mph by the time I hit 120 I had about 3 car length we stop and I tell him and that's off the bottle and he just says is that a z06? I laugh and take off.

So the wife and I are on leisurely drive on a pretty crowded 3 lane highway. We end up rolling in behind a Porsche turbo, I stay well back not being an *** and as the lane ahead of us clears off the Porsche down shifts and blows off leaving me cruising along in 6th. Big win for the Porsche. So traffic backs up and the same thing happens again. Traffic is holding him back and I'm in behing him. As the cars in front start to peel off I reach down and open the electric cutout dropping down to 3rd at the same time. Well you should have seen his neck snap when the sound of the straight exhaust bouncing off the concrete barrier started to rattle the Porsche's windows. As the last car in front peeled off he did the same thing, reaching for a gear and going wot. What he didn't expect was to see was the noise of a 10 year old chevy almost planting itself in his back seat. I'm pretty sure that he hadn't grabbed enough gear because I had to change lanes or else run him over.
Now I'm not hating on the Porsche and I also know that with a better driver I wouldn't have been able to pull on him.
