Default High School Drama

... Im wondering if i should even post this here, cuz we all can remember high school, well im still in highschool, but you all can understand....

So its pretty much common knowledge between the kids at my school that my car is the fastest in the parking lot... and we live in a pretty rich area, there are 2 or 3 other porches and a few m3's just to give you the idea... but his new kid with a 05 gt, mods: magnaflow mufflers, not catback just the canister, and its covered in stickers, much like that of the local imports. Comes along and says ford this mustang that.. and i let that go, no problem with someone having pride in there car, and yea sure its fast, but nothing to brag about.

So he goes along running all the kids in the school and beats one of the m3's and one of the boxters. So hes getting hot headed. We have the same media tech class (basically video production) and he calls me out in the middle of class, and im like sure whatever bro time and place. By the end of the class we decide to record it and put it as an intro on the morning announcement. Basically thats the school news of the day and its on every morning and everyone sees it.

Se we meet up with 3 different kids videoing it, he picks to go from a roll, wich only suits me better, so the local "racing" road is 1/4 + 30 yards so we have one kid in the a chase car, one kid in the middle, and one at the end of the track. we decide we go from a 20 roll... he is an M5 im an M6...

the race goes from no honks just once you cross the intersection main line. so we hit it and rite from the go he starts falling back and by 60 i already have 3/4 on him, just a nice walk in the park , by 100 i have headlights in the mirrors and by shutdown at 120ish i have just near 2 cars it looks like from the video.

at the end of this we get it all edited and it aired this morning as the intro to the news.. today at nutrition everyone basically laughed him outa school for all his hot headed bragging... goes to show, when push comes to shove, side with the LS1...

anyways i know it might seem stupid, but high school is basicalyl about pride and bragging rights, and he needs to step in line..

I have to agree........if your LS1 is running 12's you should have him (with the mods you say he has) by more than you did. They should run mid 13's to high 13's. Those cars are actually pretty damn slow.

Good kill none the less.......

I agree, so what those things trap at? Maybe a few of those mustang boys/girls can post some trap speeds.

The cars kids have in high school these days. One of the local kids (city 15 mins north of me) drives that Gold "Top Secret" 520WHP STI to school everyday. Nothing like having your parents buy you a $40k car, and drive it in the winter

I'm also surprised you didn't pull more on him. Maybe he had something he wasn't telling you about. Nice kill either way. It is very impressive that a car that's no longer in production is still beating cars left and right.
