Default 01 SS vs Mach 1

It was late at night and the streets were pretty empty. Im going a little over speed limit and I find myself coming up to a red light with a Mach 1 sitting at it.

I glance over... and sure enough he's eyeballing. My friend in the passanger seat says something along the lines of "***** him".... and seeing as how I had just dynoed my car earlier in the day at 323whp with intake and exhaust (no headers at the time) and feeling a little cocky.... i was happy to oblige....

Light turns green.... we slowly come to about a 10mph roll door to door and pretty much punch it simultaneously...... i feel my tires wanting to break loose but stay on it all the way thru 1st and 2nd.... shut down after about 1 second in third... and have put 2 cars on him and still pulling nicely...

I was expecting a little more from the Mach1 cuz my buddy has one and it's pretty fast.... but it also had a tune + intake + exhaust....

It was fun.... I hadn't had a street race in a very long time....

Nice kill......maybe he was an auto or couldnt' shift, and that is why your buddy can keep up better than him.?. Who know's...point is, you won this one.

Haha... yea.. my last race before that was a Jaguar Type R.... i got owned by about a car and a half....

Yesterday I also ran into a Z28.... bastard didnt want to race fairly and he practically did a flyby.....only i was able to catch him and pull even with his bumper.... I think i would've got the kill if it had been a straight up drag race...
