Default Posible takedown

So tonight I went to pick up a 12 pack of my favorite sam adams boston lager. I was on my way home when I see this third gen who had followed me out of the parking lot come roaring up to me and I decide hell lets go at it I punch it and it was pretty even. You could hear his car coming and at idle I could hear his cam. Needless to say we were going down huntington. Ok no I really don't street race but I got a case of the dumb ****. We went at it he rolls up at the next light and asked if I wanted to make $100 I knew this kid had more done to his car than I thought noone is dumb enough to do that if they think they wil lose. Everytime we went at it I could hear him let off and get back in it and do this a couple times. We went at it one last time and i was pulling a little bit on him. I won but we never agreed on a race. At one point he said he had an LS6 in it and it was not tuned. Anyways I won but I know he ****** around, man I need to get LT's and I am gonna have to go TD's as well with a lid and tune then look for this kid.

if you decide to run a converter and keep the 2.73 gears, your going to definitely want to run an independent transmission cooler...

I will let him know if I run into this kid again. Yeah dark blue Z06 rims and nothing as far as stripes done. Cocky as hell but he couldn't be more than 19 or 20 years old. First he said this is an LS6 with no tune, then when I told him no man my car is stock he as like so is mine. Meh dumb *** kid, well I am a dumb *** for racing to begin with oh well.
