Default first kill

okay a old friend of mine was driving his brother late 98 or so gt(full bolt ons) and we talked because i haven't seen him in awhile and we decide to try and race.We try to go from a stop but couldn't catch a light so we decided to go from a roll his is a m5 mine a4 so we go from about a 30 roll he blew the horn and jumped about 2 cars and then my car finally caught and by 80 i was bout 1 to 2 cars ahead. Then we finally got a light and left at green but something was wrong with his car so he sut down but i hardly spun so got a good jump so would have been much of a race. Well i know its just a gt but it was my first 1 so i had to post it

Good kill, was his GT alright? It sucks to break your car when someones already beating you. I can't get a mustang to race me for anything around here, well, theres one dude who wants to but he always comes up with "just wait till I get my mach 1 out here, it spins the tires in 3rd on the highway"

Sounds like it could be a fun race if he wasn't just blowing smoke up your ***.

Good Kill! The first kill in my Cobra was against an LS1. Nothing like beating a rival car for your first kill.
