Well when it rains it pours and when it is sunny in the summer it is usually hot
I have been lucky as I have been getting a few GOOD races in my RX-7.
see here
Well yesterday was no difference. I am pulling out of Exxon at the intersection of Kempsville Rd. and Princess Anne rd. I look to the left to make sure I can go without incident. And what do I see but a Grand Sport Vette and a blue Cobra (at this point I am not sure if it is a NEW SC Cobra or not) at the stop light. Well I turn only after the adjacent light turns red. I just want to MAKE SURE they see me.
I gas it just enough for them to see a LITTLE squat then I let off. Just then I hear a siren of course this impedes their progress towards me. I am waiting at the next light. And I see both cars neck and neck..I doubt they were racing... anyway there were cars in front of me so it was not like we could get a REAL good run. The guy with the Cobra pulls next to me. The conversation went like this:
HIM: Nice car, what year is it?
ME: Oh it is a 1994. Is that the 03 Cobra?
HIM: Yeah, I got it about a month ago.
ME: Cool. It looks great.
Him: Thanks.
ME: Did you beat that vette?
HIM: We weren't racing but I'm sure I can.
ME: Well I think I can beat the vette too.
Light turns green and we proceed to the next light...and as luck would have it we line up with one another
HIM: Oh really. Well you wanna see who could beat the vette worst.
ME: SURE!
At this time the vette is a car or two behind me. We begin to rev and the light turns green. Well, I took off and did not look back by the end of third I have about 3 car lengths on him. He catches up and I inform him of a FEW of my mods. He was cool and I was happy so life goes on.

I drove the car to work today..so I plan to posts the pictures sometime today. I am afraid I will not be able to take a picture of both the RX-7 and the S2000 together without stealing opps I mean borrowing the camera for an extended time period...and I don't think that would be too smart
I know how to link the pictures but is there a way to post the picture(s) directly on the thread...can I send my pictures to one of you guys to host for me?

1 day to go
As for posting the pic go to MYS2000 click on the "Start" button and go to "Photo Album" load your pic in it then when you go to POST to add the picture click on the "Insert Photo From Your Albums" and choose the picture, rather easy. If not let me know and I'll post it for you.
