Default 2 Kills at Once

I was out cruising after washing the TA, and after driving through town a few times...absolutely no one out to race . So while I was on my way back home a V6 Camaro was next to me and I got thumbs up from the driver. Once the light turned green he gunned it so I thought, "Why not, it's pretty much the same thing as racing a Mustang GT, right?" Anyway, I totally destroyed him of course.

But then I see another Camaro pacing me. It was an Asian-American kid with another V6 Camaro but it sounded pretty mean for being a 6. So at the next light he pulled up next to me but wouldn't look at me. When the light changed he took off and I easily dusted him too. He followed me afterward and we talked. Pretty cool kid. He had an exhaust system and cold air induction, and he said his dream car is a WS6 like mine and told me he really dislikes all the ricers out there .

Even though I couldn't find any real quick cars tonight, it was fun getting two kills at two consecutive lights.

I had a 3.4 v6, and I used to feel the same way. With an exhaust and intake on mine, it definitely didn't sound too bad. It was SLOOOOOOOOOW though. I lost some races cleanly to 4bangers like n/a eclipses. After losing to my friend's 4 cylinder 626, I finally had it, and put the car up for sale

3 months later, sold it, and bought my LT1 now. Lets just say I can't even see my friend in the rearview anymore when we race

I had the 3.8L V6 Firebird before I got the SS. It never had a problem dusting ricers. I even took a couple of 4.6L stangs in it. It wasn't too fast though but pretty good for a V6. I had intake and Flowmaster exhaust on it. The SS on the other hand hasn't had too much trouble with anything as of yet. I'm glad I finally got the V8 instead of the 6 banger. Even though it sucked every dime out of my pocket to get it. Grats on the kills.
