Default Now, THAT was fun!!!

Just got back from a quick burnout contest with my neighrbor's Procharged 570rwhp WS6.

We first lined up on FM-2920 for a quick race... We were in a hurry so we both just lined up in the middle of the road... The cars behind us were coming at us at about 65mph so we were quick about it.

Somehow, we both launched at the same exact time, so there was no advantage. I pulled about 1 car length on the WS6 (automatic) until I shifted into 2nd gear. Then, I hear the WS6 coming, then see its headlights out my passenger window. It was a very close race, but a definite win for the WS6 - it pulled like a MFer up top.

We killed the race and turned back into our neighborhood. The first road is pretty long and empty, so we lined up next to each other. My neighbor (also named Alex) told me to get in front and do a burnout.

So I pull up, and on first attempt I stalled it (foot slipped off of brake). I got it the second time, and was holding the rpm at about 5800. The smoke was just pouring out - couldn't see a damn thing behind me.



Then when we got back to the house, I find out Alex also did a burnout behind me - I couldn't see or hear it. He said he saw me stalled, then a car was coming on the 2nd attempt, so he started doing his burnout also, about 10ft off my bumper. He could only barely see my brake lights through the smoke, so as soon as they turned off, he knew I was already peeling out.

"I couldn't ing see your car, so as soon as I finished my burnout, I was thinking 'You'd better not ing hit the brakes cuz I'm gonna rearend your ass!' I couldn't ing see your car!"

We lost the car behind us, then flipped a U to check out our signature. We got out, scraped up the shreded tire, and I swear we made a ball the size of a cantaloupe out of the rubber!
