Default smashed by caddi

I was drivin down bell road in phx AZ on sat. night and i was messin around (actually toying around) with a white STi it was nice but it couldnt hang. He seemed like a nice guy cause after we made 3 or 4 quick runs and he couldnt keep up on any of them he left but gave me a good thumbs up and a nice car comment first...
Not 10 seconds later(so im guessing he saw me kill the sti) a cadillac CTS-V pulled up next to me and it was an older gentleman kinda giving me a look over and then slowly started to speed up so i thought he wanted to mess around so i droped a gear and tried to leave i pulled maybe half a car and i started to hear the damn caddi spool a turbo... and it was LOUD.... i wasnt sure if it was gunna suck my TA in. and within seconds he pulled like 4 or 5 bus lengths on me... and i got to see his beautiful back window which looked like a billboard for STS turbo... i have to give it to him it was nice the worst thing was not being beat by a caddi but being beat by a car with like 22s on it

Speed is relative? SH*T, I should've considered that a LONG time ago!

That guy is hilarious! Too bad his time at LS1Tech will likely be short-lived!

To the OP....nothing wrong with that death! The CTS-V is a super nice ride bone stock; slap a turbo on it and you've got yourself one sick grocery-getter!

Hey man you lost and you'll admit it and not make an excuse thats just as good as a win in my book. A honest F-Body owner is always nice to see. The last smiley was just because i found it funny and wanted to post it.

you need to watch out for black V's with black wheels. Mallet and Katech both have one and the Mallet I beleive has a twin Procharger. The Katech is a stroker 408ci (I think). Anyway they are both very fast. I don't know where you are though. There is also I guy that I know with a black V from West Palm Beach with a engine swap and a Maggie. Good death! Nothing wrong with loosing to a 4 door caddy! I have lost to two F-Body TA when I lived in FL and they were fast and loud as hell. I really didn't expect to win it was all about the rush.

And for the other idiot 2_1337, He is just trying to ruffle your feathers. Just remember that so many people have beer muscles or as I like to call internet muscles. Just ignore him.

Peace
