He comes out looking at my newly purchased S saying "how much you wanna run for" I explained to him I was just there to mess around, don't feel like launching the new car just run for fun. He tells me he would give me 2 cars on a 35 roll.. I told the asshole No because he wouldn't even tell me what he had done to his car. ( I was just out to have fun not race for money or anything. Just trying to meet new tuner friends not be dicks.). Well him and the PT went at it and my adrenaline got the best of me so I lined up with the Cavalier from about 25 maybe 30 with a passenger in my car. He went on 2nd honk and owned me about 1-2 cars all through my 2nd gear. I didnt really even get to shift before he shut it down... He then proceeded to pulled over and started talking more shit.

Looking back I wonder if I would of not had a passenger and if I would have started in a better gear if things would of been different.. That and if we would of got to take it up to speed a bit where my S can shine.

Still ticks me off the arrogance of this kid...

I later find out he says he runs 12's.. then told people at work 11's.. I think he just has a bolt on kit and ran me with his car in the sweet spot for a quick pull..
dang man a turbo cavy worked you. i raced my friend in his 04 cavy with my 94 taurus back in the day and beat him by like 1.5 cars, he was 5speed i was automatic. would a turbo make that big of a difference in those cars anyways

*quiver*

lost to a mustang GT with full exhaust when I was stock. Started at ~45mph in 3rd rather then second so he pulled a half car and finally when I'm about to blow by him he shut down. Probably went running home telling his friends his modded v8 "beat" a stock 4 cylinder

last night me and my girl decided to make it a blockbuster night so we decided to watch F&F 3 again, after the movie she said she wanted to race (LOVE IT WHEN SHE SAYS THAT), so i tell her to drive my M3 i drive my s2k, so she agreed and she followed me to skyline blvd and we line up, light turns green and i get about a car ahead of her (she doesn't know how to use launch control) then end of first im still about a car in front then after i shift to 2nd she starts to creep up (im still 1/2 car in front), 3rd gear head to head and end of 3rd she's up by a fender, 4th gear she's slowly pulling away and we shut down at about 105-110... I GOT SMOKED BY MY GIRLFRIEND...

when i had my first car, 02 eclipse v6, i was stuck at a red light with my girlfriend at the time. I see one of my friends from school pull up in this 4x4 blazer. The street was wet cause it had just stopped raining. He revved his ebgine and we both smiled and ready to go. The light turned green and he raped me in the ass cause i was burning out through the whole first gear. I dint even move cause the street was wet and it was my first race. We saw each other at school and just kinda laughed it off. That was my very first car and also my last FWD.
