aw ight peeps, its my turn to thrill and entertain you with a wildly amusing but true tale:
The event transpired yesterday evening when I was on my way home from work. I was about a 1/4 mile away from my turn off, when I approached a redlight. The road is 3 lanes wide and I found myself in the middle lane. An older beat up protege to my right and some other PoS to my left no prob. As I got closer to the light, a mustang GT pulled in behind me. It was a early 90's, even still I knew my rice burner was no comp for him. My palms starting sweating and my body was getting hotter. The light turned green, I tried my best to get a good hole-shot but knew no matter how good it was, it wouldn't be good enough. In first took it up to 6K, then slammed into second, he's still on my ass, so I get over to the right, my turn is coming up. He looked like he was gonna pass me on the left, but when I changed lanes, he stayed in the middle lane and passed me. I looked over as he did, then he did something that surprised me, he got over to the right lane and proceeded to take my exit!! Thinking to myself, turn, turn, and when he did, I knew I had him. He may have the speed, but I have the suspension and he got a taste of it too. The turnoff consists of a moderate S-curve, first sweeping right then left then right again. Although I was unable to pass due to guardrails on both sides, I was right on his tail through the entire turn off, 75-80 mph. We merged into traffice, where I was able to pull next to him and shake my head "NO", he flicked me off as I drove away. The funny thing is as I pulled away, heart beating like Lars was playing it. I saw his f'ed up front end, yellow primer and all. Yeah you got the power but I got the suspension. peace!

Last week-end I raced a lot of imports. But nobody wanted to race a V.W Jetta with a stock turbo, grantted because his car weighed 2600 LBS. Our car weighs about 3600 LBS. So I was giving him about a thousand pound advantage. I told him that I had a 55 shot of ZEX. So we lined up at the next light, and a 94 "Rustang" GT. My mistake was using NOS from the start, and not being able to put down any trackion till mid second gear. The Rustang, and Jetta caught traction before the MP-3 did. So bassically I started at there rear bumper, and stayed at the rear bumper all the way to 100 MPH. I think that was cool to see an MP-3 keep up with a Rustang GT and a Jetta w\ turbo.
