2001 Z vs. Alero???
I was on my way over to my boys house, going down 13 mile rd headed East. I suppose when its nice out, I always drive with some authority. So I'm just cruisin at the speed limit of 35 mph, when this red tinted out Alero pulls up next to me. Then he downshifted and took off. there were 2 fat fart cannons hanging out the azz of that thing, and it was pretty loud. kinda sounded like $hit though, if you ask me. so i give it a little gas and catch ip to him. he was straight, asked what I had done to it, and i relied, "A lot." He says, "Me too." So im kinda laughing my azz off in my head right now. Thinking, "That thing better have a small block in it if you think you're hangin with the Z." And then he asks me if I wanted to race for money, and I was like, "Damn, this ***** too good to be true. A frickin Alero wants to race me for money?" I opted to be nice and not take his money though. So we line up on a roll, about 40 mph or so and I let him give the start. After I heard his Auto start to shift I threw it in 2nd and and waited a second. I let him grab a car on me...And then i hit it! I caught up before my tires even got traction and blew by him like it was my job. After I pretty much bent him over like a 50 cent hoe, he made up some excuse I couldnt really understand, and turned off. What the hell couldve been going though his mind? I think he was spraying on me? it was faster than any grand am or alero ive ever seen, but still no match for the Z. I'd bet he'd run about a 16.5 second quarter...hahahahaha. What a moron.

I could just hear the auto downshift, and I gave him a bit of mercy. haha. there was definetely soemthing done to the alero, but im not sure what. I wouldnt doubt it if he was sprayin 50 on me, but im not sure. didnt really get to ask. he was a nice guy though, and it never hurts to try though. If he waited a bit longer to turn I woulda told him to go find a mustang, haha, maybe he coulda hung with one of those. Still never lost on the street...

He then he rolls down his window, sticks his hand out, gives me a thumbs down, and turns off.

There isn't much out there for those cars though, so maybe 14's if he was spraying. Still, who knows what he was thinking when I he though he could race you.
