Turbo MP3 Vs Mustang and Trans Am

[LinuxRacr]

This was pretty funny. On my way to work this morning on North Central Expressway (75) I was cruising and the blue Mustang pulls up besides me, and slowly starts to take off. Ok, it's on! I drop it into 4th, and pass them easily! They gave chase, but I just pulled away! At least 5 car lengths! I slowed down a couple of times, and each time this person tried to pass me again! The same result. As all this is going on, there was a dark color Trans Am hanging back watching, and finally "came through" at the 75/635 junction, and slid between 2 Semi trucks! If anyone knows the area, there is mad construction right there right now, and they could have been sandwithced easily with the narrow ass lanes. I follow suite as more lanes come available, and catch up to the Trans Am who floors it. The surprising thing is that as they push it, I accually get too close to the bumper (about 4 feet!), so I pull around to the right lane and started to accually pull on the Trans Am....So I though! We are side by side almost, and I look down, and my spedo says 115mph! Oh s***! How the hell did I get there so fast!? Anyway, I stay beside the Trans Am for about another 5 seconds, when my car seemed to not want to give me anymore, and the Trans Am pulls off and leaves me at 121 mph! That's when I let off and slowed the phuck down! Richardson is notorious for its speed traps. It slows down, and I pull along side, and to my surprise...it was a chick!(wow) (2thumbs) I wave at her, and she waves back, and then exits! That was fun! No traffic at all!

I seem to keep having to smack up Maximas. I have spanked 3 now. Everytime same story. I Pull up on them they think they can destry any protege. They floor it, I give them 5 lengths then charge on them like a SOB. Then GIve them a few seconds to keep up. I let them get right along side and wait till they floor it then I take off and rip them up. Maximas limiter is around 120 aparently. The only other one was an early 90s mercury that thought he was fast. He was wrong.

You only got to 115. Or did yopu just get wipped by the trans am at that speed. I pulled right to 135 with out knowing it.

Man, you are going to wreck your car. I can see it coming already. I really hope you dont, but it's ominous.

Linux, I have seen many people die street racing. I am no saint and have done so myself. I dont know if you had a chance to read the thread where my friend in the turbo miata just died. Street racing has to many uncontrolled variables. I am not trying to say dont drive fast.............I do do myself but be carefull. There is no need to speed over 100 mph on public roads............its suicide!

Linux you are a cool Kat and an awesome addition to this forum. I really do not want to hear anything bad happening to you.

I am sorry if I offended you. I have seen with with great frequency that you are street racing. It is not my place or business to lecture you but I wrote this because I care and have seen many gruesome car deaths that were totaly unessacary. Also take all your loved ones into consideration.

I guess it kind of depends on the situation, but over 100mph (170kph) is kind of insane. I'm no saint, I couldn't imagine myself driving the speed limit (traffic permitting hehe), but > 170kph, I mean, if I got caught at that speed I think I would get fined 800$$$... not to mention that you can forget emergency steering or breaking at that speed.

I got to 121 MPH, or so my phuck up gauges say! I just replaced my gauge pod today, and have accurate readings now (Thank you Indiglo! :mad: ). Remember, my engine is practically brand new again due to the re-boring and all. I try to keep it below 100 MPH, but it got up there without me knowing about it. There was no traffic to dodge! But still it is dangerous to me! I hear all you fine, caring folks! Thanks!
