Or race him from a dig and before the 3rd honk slam into him then take off, but after you beat him make sure to put on your hazards to signify the win!

If you can drop that kind of money on a grudge match why not just buy her a better car? I'm thinking a BMW 750 should get the job done

Im in the process of puttin her a car together atm the ol zx is just my work car.. she drives it.. and he wont race the Camaro.. it would just be embarrasing.. but maybe im a little wound up.. but would be a nice touch to see the ol zx stretchin him out lol..

but i am going to put the kit on it and see what happens its just a 01 gt with some fr500s and a borla exhaust.. cars like one of the slowest gts ive ever seen..

And the only reason i get wound up about him is cause the kid thinks he has a rocketship as a car.. he says my cars a "RACECAR" famous words.. but id like to show the kid a lesson never underestimate a car or a person lol..

And wats funny you guys will never believe what the zx looks like ill post a picture just tell me if this thing would hurt ur feelings if it was spinnin past u
