Default Dumb Jocks In A Caddy

Just saying the phrase "dumb jocks" makes me feel like this is high school all over again, but this is really the best way to describe them. Coming home from softball yesterday, this blue Cadillac Coupe de Ville I think it would be, flys by me out of nowhere. Never even saw the thing coming. It had the vertical tail-lights, the quad northstar V8 exhaust tips, a temp tag, and some hard-*** looking kids in the car. Great . We end up side by side in some stopped traffic and I look over just to see what the hell was up with these two, and they kind of glance over at my car but nobody says anything, which was just fine with me. We continue driving and eventually traffic clears up, I'm doing about 45mph when they pull up along side and the guy says very assertively "race me." Whatever, my pleasure dude. He guns it and I drop it into second...see ya later buddy. I shut it down at about 70mph with about 4-5 lengths on him. Good enough I figure. He gets back up along side me.

Dumb Jock: "Well, I guess I'm not really in your league yet am I."
Me: "No, you really aren't anywhere close."
Dumb Jock: "At least I took you on the punch."
Me: "I don't see how you figure that, but whatever dude."

He then proceeds to speed off, and I just decide to leave well enough alone. That car did seem to have a small amount of *****, to go along with the two big dicks inside it. Didn't those Northstar cars run high 14s/low 15s??

I'd guess mid-15s in a STS.

Funny story, I've had similar crap happen to me. Some people are... Special.

Or...

Nice kill. Don't underestimate the northstar though there are a few people out there with ACTUAL MODS on them. http://www.mechtech-ms.com/html/supercharger.html
