Ok, perhaps this isn't exactly a racers dream.....but I'm not a racer at all. This was the first time I've ever tried to go up against anybody and it was with my crap winter tires in -15 celsius weather(albeit dry roads). This jerk in an Intrepid was trying to show the power of his grandpa ride...would pull up beside me and lights(it was 1 am so were the only ones around) and would rev his engine and take off and would slow down when he saw I wasn't racing. He finally got on my nerves tho so at the next set of lights I revved up my engine(Note to self, learn the "steps" of racing). I kept the rpms around 3000 for my launch...not sure if that was too high or too low or what, but it seemed to work....light changed and I had nice clean shifts and just completely wasted him even though it looked like he was doing his best to put on a good show and had "cheated" by rolling when he saw the crosslights turn yellow.

Like I said...my first race ever but it really felt good to feel the power of this car and to hear the engine roar.
 
I had an old Toyota Paseo come up to me the other day and started to get right brave........ah man, not even worth the time.


Seriously, some cars, you should't try to drag. Not that ours are the 1/4 mile kings or anything, but come on.....a paseo?
 
my opinion...just my own thought...i won't race to anyone who seems drive a auto trans...even it's faster to ours...why? they even don't wanna exercise thier left legs or right arms...why should I? :D
