Default Got killed by a LT1.....

i went to a concert with my G/F and my buddy and his girlfriend. we hit Jack in the Box before we went and one of the guys that works there leaves at the same time that we leave. so we all jump in the car and take off. i finally catch up with this guy, and throw a few revs, but he does nothing. we finally catch a light, and when it turns green, i floor it, waiting for the turbo to kick in, and he takes off too. finally the turbo kicks in around 2K rpm and he is already about a car in front of me. i start to pull a little, but he stayed in front and kinda left me from there. he had about 2 cars on me when i shut down. man, just think if there weren't four people in my G/F's Jetta. i might have been able to take him. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

He obviously wasnt racing. If he was, tell him next time to start off in 1st gear not 3rd.
