Default Killed a Mach 1

My first kill in the Formula! My first kill ever!

Had a kid in a 2004 Mach 1 pull up next to me as I was heading home from work. He tried getting my attention, but I ignored him, until the light turned green that is!

I did an awesome launch, and destroyed him. Of course, after I stopped killing him, he did a much anticipated ricer fly by, dont know why! Maybe because he was just embarassed by a girl? ha ha

Maybe because he didn't know you were going to race since you ignored him.
I know I wouldn't go ***** out and step on it at a light if I didn't know 100% that the other guy was going to do so as well.
Not saying you can't beat him, but I am not saying he can't beat you either. I just think if your going to race someone, let it be a mutual thing and not so much of a surprise.
Anyway, since it was your first race, I guess you didn't know race etiquette.. lol.
Good kill, just let them know your racing next time.

If you kill 4.6L's, they will come. Just expect this thread to get flamed very soon.

Agreed. I'm not saying he wasn't racing, but I wouldn't have if I couldn't get your attention, and I don't think most people would. Just give him the nod and a little rev next time to let him know it's on. THEN SMASH HIM!!!! (well, hope he's not too modded if you aren't, anyways... because that's a driver's race from a stop)

You're a girl! He was SUPPOSED to let you win!

J/K

But good Kill! If I raced a girl and lost, I'd be more upset about not getting her number than losing.

I had an evo do that...he stayed half a car back didn't look at me or rev..nothing. Light turned green AWD launched. He was past the intersection before I was even half way, so I punched it. Sideways I went in first and second (even with a short shift to 2nd). Let off, grabbed second B4 I was midway though third I was at his bumoper and he let off. At the next light he wouldn't look over. SO I went on green anyway. He tried again, and realized his jump without me ready is what got me.....Then I told him to let someone know the next time he wants to race...his reply?........WHY? My answer......It's called racing you Ricer.

Good kill, but I highly doubt it would have been a 'murder' had he knew you were going.

and 9N20Form - I tried to get that guy and I was ready.....till he didnt' respond. So I didn't bother...until he was through the intersection...so wanting to race someone, doesnt' mean they are ready if that person doesn't give a mutual reply.

He was probably in the process of rolling down his window to hand you some corny pick-up line when...green light...holy ****...she took off...

Hey! I thought mustangs were girl cars and LS1s were MAN cars. WTF?
shot holes in that theory.

GOOD KILL.

lol, when you ignor somebody that kinda defeats the purpose of the light, he may not have known you were gonna step on it.

Not neccessarily, I feel stupid if I slam on the gas at a light and the other person wasn't racing me, but that's just me...
