03 Grand Am GT vs 87/88 Camaro Yeah, I know the title is making all of you get your hearts pounding...
So i'm on the way to go to dinner with my g/f. I was driving her 03 Grand Am GT. It's actually not too bad for a girls car. I got it to run 15.8 @ 87
Anyway, I was at a stop light waiting to turn left, and these high school kids in this 87/88 2.8 Camaro are coming up the other direction. I was waiting for them to go straight through because they didn't have their turn signal on. Well, they turned right. This pisses me off because I hate people not using their signals, and since it was some dorky punk kids, I had a reason to do something about it.
So I make my left and these kids are swerving in and out of traffic and cutting people off. Well, knowing it was a POS 2.8, I figured i'd go mess with them. We get to another light and I stop right behind them on their ***. The light turns green and I keep right their *** until I get next to them. I see the front of the car rise up so I nail it. I zipped right past them with ease. My g/f kept saying that they must not have been racing because she thought it would take the GA out. Well, about that time, I see their head lights pick up again like they were going to try and do a ricer fly by. So I punch it and they didn't get past the rear bumper before I started pulling again. I took it up to about 110 and I flipped the four ways on
That's the best race i've had this year. I love trying to get people to race in that Grand Am. People underestimate it for what it is.
