Default Kickin puppies

Just filled up the SS and pulled out of the station onto the main road. Not gettin on it, just normal driving, when a guy in an Infinity flogs it going passed me. Yea, ok, He's asking for it...not that it takes much. Heading for a red light, traffic clear, I'm thinking "its gonna change before we can stop". It doesnt! Now 1st is semi useless for me so I'm concentrating on pedaling out of the hole as it goes green, side by side. I laid into it a bit more and the 315's start squealing like a scene from Mad Max! Short shift 2nd and start putting the lengths on him. I just made 3rd, maybe 70-80, and I hit the brakes to let him catch up, thinking we'd exchange a or whatever. Nothing....but I see his girl pounding away on her phone furiously. LMAO! Priceless. I tried to see if it was a G35 or 37...couldnt really tell for sure but I think 37 from the pics I found of em. Not that this was some kind of epic kill or anything, but you guys all know, its entertaining as hell when these events all line up like this.

Car details:
02 SS
LS2 403, baby cam, trick flows
M6, faceplated, viper conversion
Moser 9", locker, 3.70's
3" H Piped full length true duals, E-85

Ya know, these days, it wouldnt surprise me!

As far as wasting gas, it gets 11MPG as it is, with my driving style, I dont think its less when I race if that tells you anything! When macular degeneration and prostate cancer take hold, I may slow down a bit......

I honestly dont have a clue. Havent made a trip out of town to have it dyno'd. Pretty disappointing Gateway International closed down too. I could at least get a ballpark if it went down the 1/4. Closest track around here is Havana's 1/8th mi. I'll probably run it there in a few weeks.
