- 03' Silverado, 03' P5
Alright, I was having a good day yesterday afternoon and since it is getting cold around here I decided to take my truck out and "stretch it's legs" a little bit. I hop in and go cruising around where I live (which is in the country sort of) and decide that since I have a mostly full bottle of N20 that I will use a little, just to keep it in working order.
Anyways, I flip on the bottle heater and commence heading over to a 4 lane road that is virtually empty to find a light to start from and make a run by myself. Well, as I approach a suitable light (~3/4 mile straight, good visibility, no connecting roads other than the light) I pull in beside a White Early 90's Model Toyota Surpra. I notice it is a turbo from the little badge on the back (Well, I am guessing the badge was correct at this point, later deciding it was...) There were two girls in the car, probably around 20 y/o or so, and pretty damn cute. As I pulled up, I said waved and said "hi" to the passenger (yes, I have no cooth(sp?) ) She said "hi" back and asked if I went to the community college a few miles down that road, I responded "no" and just told her I was riding around. The driver was keeping herself occupied by lightly revving the car against the brakes (it was an auto, I could see the shifter).
Well, about the time the girl in the passenger seat had finished telling me her name (Julie,
) the light turned green, and the driver launched the car like a fiend... totally surprising me. I hit the throttle hard through first, and floored it right after the 2nd gear shift expecting the ever pleasant boost of power that the 150 wet shot provides... nothing... although, I had gained back up to the door of the Supra by the latter part of 2nd. Being the idiot I am, I had forgotten to arm the damn N20... Oh well, At the 3rd gear shift, I passed them and kept into it till about 90 or so where I had gained about 1.5 Cl's. The car was pretty damn fast! Well, during all this, I neglected to notice the Black, ~97 Z28 camaro hauling ass up behind us. He jumped right in behind me and rode right on my bumper as I was slowing down. The Supra slows down and passenger says that the Z28 is the driver's b/f. I say ok, and figure it is time for me to leave. Well, still while I am still slowing down, the Supra takes off, and the Z28 come up beside me, rolls down his window, and asks WTF was I doing?? I said "Racing your g/f..." He seemed a little upset, and yelled back "You wanna run that peice of s*** against me??" I said "Yep, turn around and we'll run from that light we just came from... " He calls the supra girl on his cell phone and she turns around up the road as well...
Whew, anyways, riding back the light, I glance at the pressure gauge... 950 PSI... Hmm, it could have been better but that should do it. My tires were probably at about 25 PSI since the last time I drove, and I had 1/2 tank of gas. There's still no traffic around in either direction. We turn around and get in the lane were in to begin with, and sit there stopped at green, waiting for a Red light. The Z28 must have had exhaust work, because it sounded pretty damn good. I have no idea what else he had other than a manual transmission. He did a pretty hard burnout, complete with his g/f's clapping for him from the supra, followed by her flipping me off... Friendly girl... LOL
Anyways, when the opposite lane's light turned yellow, I let loose about a 1 second long purge, checked the pressure, and brought the rev's up to ~2000 RPMS.... Right before we started, I looked over at the Z28 driver, and I must say he looked a little worried.
At green, the z28 pulled about 1/2 C.l. through 1st gear... Right into 2nd, when I finally felt the rear end quit slipping, I went Full throttle... Ahhh, it felt more like normal that time... I pulled really damned hard through 2nd, and kept into it all the way through 3rd... I ran up to about 100 or so this time, with Z28 about 2 C/L behind me when I let off. While I was slowing down, he stayed full throttle past me, and never even looked up. The supra caught up with me long enough for both the girls to give me the strangest look of amazement that I have seen in a while, it was priceless... Well, that and the passenger blew me a little kiss. I must be getting old at 25, but I thought that was cute as hell.
At any rate, I had a really good day yesterday, and I figured I would share. I took half a day off from work, which I guess is something I should do more often. Anyways, later...
