Red face 3 kills @ once

i just love friday nights because there are too many ricers picking on me; i was coming home from work around 11pm and i see bright lights coming up fast behind me. it was RX-7, EVO, S2000. they were racing down COOPER. i was just chilling in far right lane and we all caught @ the same light (remember i have my cutout closed and just running with blowmasters in the back.) so itz really quiet till i get on it. so they were thinking i was V6 firebird and they all starts to rev. @ this time i turned off my TCS and radio and i was READY. i revved up to 3000ish RPM and BAM.. im gone. my nitto DR did itz job pretty well and i was already hitting 3rd gear.. by this time i was about 3 cars length on EVO and others were too far back. i shut down at around 90mph and let them catch up but these kids were kept racing all the way to down to cooper..... hope they didnt get a ticket.

hopefully when i get my true dual; they wont pick on me
