A couple of weeks ago I ran a Mercedes ls600. He killed me! We were both going about 70 or so on the freeway, I droped it to 3rd and took off, he downshifts and is immediatly 3 car lengths ahead of me and stayed there up to about 130mph. Tried 3 times same result.

My car was bone stock, first mods are on the way (CAI and tune). Hopefully I can cut that 3 car lenghts gap down a bit. It was fun. I don't feel too bad though becasue for the price of his car I can buy 4-5 GT's.

B) Hmmmmm. Haven't noticed anyone next to me long enough to know if THEY thought we were racing or not

I dont wanna waste the gas on whatever has asked to race.. I wanna get a plate holder that says, "you pay for the gas.... I'll spank your [hiney]". Last word rhymes with gas, LOL

Only true run was with a 98 GT - friend of mine. He wanted to see what the new one would do. As you can imagine, I pulled away.... (he's 225 HP from the factory, with a few mods has 200 RWHP).

I see this city bus right in front of me, I know he's going to pull over and block my lane in just a block or so. I check and make sure the left lane was clear and doggone it, I completely smoked his booty! It wasn't even close and I know he had more hp/tq than me. I'm guessing he didn't know how to shift!

Seriously though, I haven't ran anyone yet. I've been taunted by camaro's-a-pleanty though, man I'm like chub and they sharks, they just come a running to try and get me to go.

I was very close to running a 99-04 Mustang GT, it was really late and he wanted some. But I got nervous and decided not to. Felt kinda bad I didn't atleast pretend to try, because he was revving and rolled back about 6 feet trying to catch his clutch, then took off wasting a buncha tire rubber and gas. I would feel more comfortable if it were someone I knew on a private or very secluded road.

I have a pretty good idea what it will do and thats good enough for me. Although I really really want to race, I'm just too sissyfied with age and common sense.
