Well all let me start with a little backround. Take notice that this is my 2nd ever post. Im glad that it could be on such a good topic as this one. I just picked up my silver 03 coupe about 1 1/2 weeks ago and I love it more every day! I went the whole first week without being able to enter into any 'display of speed' challenges. I was looking, but it seems that none of the ls1's or STI's that I came across were game. D*amn all of you guys that got your terminators and already smoked all of the worthy competition! It seems no one wants to run my car becasue they know what it is and how bad they got smoked by the last dude in a terminator! Anyway- there i go Hijacking my own thread alreay-
So last Saturday I detailed my car and had it lookin all nice and purdy. I was on my way to pick up my girlfriend after she got off work. She works off of the street here in town that everyone cruises on the weekend. So I pull up to a stop light and I am the first car in the right lane. Im just chillin groovin to my Led Zepplin cd, and I glance over at the car that pulled up to me in the left lane. It is a guy that I went to high school with, and he is driving a black GTO. This car was sweet looking! We exchainged compliments on each others cars, and a couple of friendly revs. I look forward toward a failry open strech of road in fron of me and ask him, " so you wanna run 'em or what?" and he just laughs and says, "I guess we have to." By this time I have the biggest stupidest grin on my face and I am stoked about finally finding a car to run me. As hard as it was I told him not here becasue there are many po-po on the street busting the hoards of ricer **** that think they are hardcore street racers. He agreed with me and proceeded to follow me to the local race track.
We merged onto the five lane concrete test track that happened to be the next exit and proceeded to line 'em up. It was a busy track and traffic prohibited us from going fro ma dig. (must have been a test and tune night or somethin cuz there waz a bit of traffic). So we line 'em up at 40, he gives the three honks and then they're off! I left it in 4th (just got my car and I'm trying to be nice to it)and mashed the gas and that eaton started screaming. To my suprise, the goat got about 1/2 a fender on the launch which i madde up after about a second. We stayed almost dead even till about 110 when we shut down due to slower racers in front of us. Another thing that suprised me, this car sounded mean! THe whole time I am thinking im gonna smoke him cuz a Gto is a 5.7 350 horse.... bla bla bla. My car has a steeda CAI and a Magnaflow cat-back, so i was kinda suprised when we were dead even.
Everyone knows that rock paper scissors is best 2 outta 3, so we adapted these rules to our little 'contest'. 2nd time we line em up at 40, I drop it in 3rd, he gives the 3 honks and we go. I spin badly-stupid stock goodyears.... GRRRRR....- he pulls about 1/2 a car then I hook and BAM! Felt like someone lit a rocket under my ass! In about 2 sec I made up the difference and started running away from him. I pulled him hard. He caught back up (no ricer flyby by the way-bump for him) and we lined em up again. from 40, me in 3rd agian we got similar results. He gives the 3 honks and then ---Houston we have liftoff! I didn't spin as badly as before. he didn't jump me like round 2, I just spanked him like a red hedded step child. I shut down at 100 and he was no where to be found!
He cauhgt up and we got off the track and pulled over in a nearby parking lot to check out the competition. Well, I found out why his car sounded so good. I aksed him what mods he had and he said stock. hmmm. Brand new GTO is 6.0 400 hp. News to me! These cars are sweet. Now they have dual exhaust and the new hood looks mean with the twin scoops. The interior is frickinnice too. I was so focused on driving and not putting my car into the divider, that I wasnt watching my mirrors and I didnt see how much I beat him. I didnt want to tell any lies so I asked him what it looked like from his view. He told me the second run was about 5 cars when we shut down and the third I had about 6 or so cars on him and he just gave up cuz i was running away so fast. Keep in mind I shut down at 100 on the 3rd run. Something intresting i didnt know about the new goats. They come stock with 245 tires. That seems kinda bunk to realase a car w/ 400 hp with little meats. Also, his car was an A4. I also couldnt belive that GM would relase a 400 hpcar with an auto. Thats kinda cool though, cuz he will never miss 3rd in a drag race. We talked a bit more, drooled over each others cars then left the parking lot in matching plumes of white smoke.
Rember at the beggining when I said i was on the way to pick up the gf? Yeah neither did I. LOl. I was so
epper: after he met at the light I completely forgot. she was pissed that I was 1/2 hour late, and said my excuse of spanking a goat wasnt good enough. Oh well. i was still all like epper:
