Default Kill of a brand new 5.0 tang

So last friday night a buddie and I are walking out of a local Hooter's
and when I get to my car this guy that was parked at the other end of the lot in his just bought that day 5.0 tang starts his car and proceed to rev to the limiter to get our attention.So as soon as we looked over he flys up though the parking lot, stops in front of my car and asks"You ever run anyone" and I said "Sometimes", so before you know it we're out on 255 heading toward Illinois...So we drop down to around 20 and he honks it off
1,2,and 3. I floor it instantly, jump a car, shift to second, jump another car length,third, jump 2 more...We did a 20-120 and by the end I was at least 6 cars out on him(not bad for a cam only ls1)...We meet back at the Hooter's and in one day he already killed his clutch,kinda felt bad for the guy,but putting a tang up against a real car,what did he think was gonna happen...haha...But in the end felt pretty good to know I can take one of those 5.0.

good kill, always nice to win races you don't start.

a stock 5oh isn't going to run with a cammed m6 ellisjuan. i'd be willing to bet some of the stock ones would have trouble getting past my lid/muffler car.

This sounds about right, unless the driver knows what he is doing those cars stock will run low 13s. Im sure your well beyond that power range.

Is "tang" supposed to be funny? If so, it's not....that owner sounds like a douche though.

I'm guessing you were at the Hooters in SoCo if you were headed to IL on 255, are you on STLSR or speed?
