Default Haha, this is good

We were out in my buddys moms 07 Toyota Camary Hybrid (550 miles per tank). Bad *** car, and there was some cheese dick out in his 04 yellow GTO and decided he would try and race us for some reason. We got a 50 punch on him just randomly and starting passing him. I leaned out the window to start rowing because I thought we were gonna get dusted, next thing I know we are doing 110 mph and I am still out the window rowing and he is just now door to door with us and barely pulling. It was the funniest **** I have seen in a long time. He tryed racing us at least 5 more times after that so he would not have to go home and cry himself to sleep........

Man, it was the most random kill I have ever seen. I dont know if the guy forgot to drive or what but while rowing I heard the car trying like hell. The only time rowing is appropriate is when the win should have never happened, but he must have bought a lemon, needless to say it was YELLOW....lol.... It was a manual.....

Ha, I'm willing to bet he was cruising in 6th gear, it's his first car, and he knows NOTHING about cars, so he just figured to race all he has to do is floor it.

Too bad you don't have it anymore, it would have been a great race for my 88 Formula (the daily driver). 16.4 @ 82 bone stock, then 15.79 @ 87 with a full exhaust. One badass ride.

I believe it dynoed 144rwhp with the exhaust. I'll have to scan the graph for you.

Sounds like we could have had a serious race! Mine was an import Japaneese car..so I would have owned you.

Isn't that how this conversation should go at this point? hahahha

Umm, yeah, except my Formula has the WS6 suspension package and Throttle Body Injection, so you'd be done.
