i have a few but the first one is the funniest i think, and by far the most humiliating, i was down at myrtle beach with the family a few years back, we took the suburban, i had a magnacharger, tune, CAI and catback on it. i was having trouble getting the meth injection running right, ended up i was dumping water into the engine and drowning it out. so we are on our way back home, its a 9 hour drive, and a little white rice mobile is up my tail, so i jump over and he starts his flyby, i had decided i was gonna stop him and let him hear my supercharger scream in his windows. well as soon as the boost hit, the injection started dumping water in and i was misfiring like crazy, and this riced out corrola S flew past me wagging his finger at me like "ah ah ah not so fast" damn that sucked, i pulled over and ripped the wires loose for the meth injection. i would rather have had high IAT's then lose to a corrolla S again

2 weekends ago, I was headed home at 2 a.m. The roads were completely soaked from the 5 hour raid we had. I pull up to a stoplight and this BMW 325i pulls up next to me. The 18 year old and passenger keep revving at me. He had this huge grin on his face and looked like he meant business. I tried to ignore him, knowing that I wouldn't be able to do anything on wet pavement. He proceeded to taunt me all the way until the next stoplight. It got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore...so when the light turned green, I stomped it. My car spun and went completely sideways. He took off with his stock 325i with no problem or traction issues.
I'd like to think that he knows it would have been a different story if the roads were dry. I was pissed off for 2 days after that.

raced an 08 shelby gt-500, from 20 roll. i was at his door when his buddy hung out the passanger side ans yelled go. so now im at his back bumper cuz i wasnt ready. then i accidentally left it in first cuz i was so baffled, so i bang off the limiter about 6 times. so now im a full car and a half back. take it thru second, at the end of second im 4 foot behind him then third im comin around and he lets off. i was soooooooo pissed. i coulda stomped him. those would have been some kickass braggin rights. its actually my buddys-moms-67year old boyfriends car who works for ford, he lets him take it out whenever he wants. so i will get another chance

Ok...so about 4 years ago I had just sold my first f-body (91 Z28) and bought my 94 Vert. Of course I thought LT1's were king and hated the LS1 cars, cause all the guys around my town were throwing big stalls and exhaust on their cars and were acting like John Force. So anyway, I put a Comp 224/230 in my car, have the heads mildly ported, stall, gears, and couple other odds and ends and think I'm a bad ***. So I take the car to the local 1/8th mile track and run a couple of 7.8's. There were a few LS1's out there that were in the 7.7-8.0 range, so I thought I had a shot at taking down an LS1. So this silver '99 Formula stages beside me, and it looks bone stock...appears that the only thing done to it is exhaust, not even a lope coming from this thing...so I think I've got the race won before it ever starts. Anyway, lights go green and all I see is a pair of blacked out tail lights leave my ***. That damn car ran a 6.90 to my 7.80 and I feel like a total asshat. Turns out the car had a small cam, ported heads, LS6 intake, ported TB, 3600 Vig converter, suspension, LT headers with true duals, and a 125 shot of N20 (but he didn't spray in 1st), and factory 3.23 gears. It wound up being the first LS1 where I'm from in the 6's in the 1/8th (and stayed that way for a long time). That was the day I saw the light regarding LS1's and their awesomeness!
Now, funny end to the story...I tried like hell for the next few months to beat this car. I did everything to my LT1 I could, but he always seemed to get faster. SO, when the car came up for sale a little over 2 years ago I bought it...and it's now my pride and joy (although it's getting a new engine and rear end as I write this).
So, moral of the story: if you can't beat it, buy it!

I was turning onto a service drive to get on 696 in Royal Oak. In front of me is a blazer, next to him is a brand new Mustang GT and behind the GT is a C6Z, and the driver is dressed out in some pinstripe power suit. Both right lanes can turn right onto the service drive. The blazer in front of me goes straight so im like "**** it" I floored it around the mustang, sideways. The mustang didnt do anything, but i look back in my rear view mirror and the ZO6 is getting sideways trying to get traction. When i hit the onramp i was doing 90 and the Z flew around me, had to be 120+. I pulled up next to him on the expressay (which was packed of course) and he gave me a smile. Then i pulled in behind him, and when traffic opened up, he nailed it at 70 and he was just gone. I just realized my place and maintained 70. lol

Worse death would have to be against a guy in a Supra.. His name was either Robert or Roger (other Mississippi members probably know who i'm talking about) who had a Supra with V8Killa on the tag. We were coming down I55 North here in Jackson and even and he told me to take the hit @ about 50mph. Even with the Turbo lag of his car and me getting the hit he was 10-12 cars out by 100mph. My first thought after that was "I've got to get Supra one day.
About two weeks later me and Mach 1 and a guy in an SS names Shawn (other Mississippi member probably know who I'm talking about) line up on I55 South doing about 20mph just as we pass Hooters we all go and it was only a race between me and the Mach 1. The SS shot out like our two Mustangs were spectators to God's engine the LS1. I was dumbfounded at how a car that didn't sound all that spectacular just raped us like we had no arms and legs to defend ourselves. I didn't feel as bad when sometime later he raped a C6Z06 from a dig. I had respect for LS1 cars but after that I knew I had to learn more about them and someday own one. My friend beat me to it when he bought a 00 T/A.

I'm still trying to figure out who's nuts you're swinging from but its definitely not Ford's. The GT500 should have trapped 3-4 mph higher than you, he couldn't drive very well.

In my V6 Camaro I got spanked by a Viper GTS, he gave me the jump and just blew past by and had me by atleast 15+car lengths and pulling hard. My guess is he had full exhaust and intake but exhaust non the less.
The second one I was driving on a country road and I got over taken by a Diablo VT and I was already driving fast as ****. He dusted my *** as if I was going slow.
The third asskicking contested of a GSXR 600, 1000 and the mighty 1300, Yeah I knew I didn't stand up to any of them but I still had fun non the less.
Then the most recent was a Bullit Mustang that kept reving his engine at me so I decided to run him and he had me by around 4cars total.

I got smacked around in my bolt on 99 Z28 by an early 90's chevy truck. Bright red, reg cab, short box, very loud with a big cam lope. We punched it at a 20mph roll, he put 4 car lengths on me by 80mph. He was running a wicked 572ci BBC/TH400 combo with 4.10's. He also had nitrous, but didn't spray me. Said it ran 10's on the bottle, crazy thing was it was very clean, but looked bone stock, he even kept the factory steel rally wheels, had them widened in the back for slicks.
