kill #1 :)

Location: Freeway
Time: 1 AM
Traffic: Minimal
Current Speed: 65mph


So with the given situation, here rolls up a TransAM with a very loud exhaust note. I smiled; he came up and stood parallel to me. I drop into 3rd and let RPM raise up. I'm sure he heard it, because he had his windows down and i heard his RPM raise moments after. So BAM its off! 3rd gear's expiring quickly as i near 90. I look over... TransAM, exactly where we were to begin with, parallel to me. Clutch, shift, bam.. 4th gear. Now i'm inching forward, inch by inch my tail is at his front bumper by 120mph. Clutch, shift, bam... 5th gear. Inching becomes "feeting" as I leave him behind by 1 car till I reach and succumb to the governors powers. I slow down to 70 and so does he, and we repeat; obviously he couldn't believe his eyes. Same results. I take an exit and he follows, he flashes me down so i stop to the side.
I lower my window and with a surprised look he blurts "Man what the hell do you have on that thing?"

Trying not to smile too hard I respond, "Couple of bolt-ons, nothing major"

"Well i'm an LT1 TransAM" (285 hp 300+ lbs tq)

"It sounds amazing man!"
"Thanks, what exhaust u got on there"
"Stock M3 exhaust"

So skipping the small talk, i turned around in a very amazing LSD actuated drift session, in which he followed and we ran a few more times. :D




Kill #2


Location: Mall exit to feeder of Freeway.
Time: 9:30 PM
Traffic: Medium
Current Speed: 0 mph

So i'm waiting to enter the freeway via the feeder road, and in front of me i see Subaru Impreza WRX ... with dealer plates. It was the 03-04 one by its looks. Since traffic is medium he gives it throttle, and i quickly follow to be able to enter the freeway entrance close by. I'm sure he immediately realized i'm right on his tail, so its on! Location is on the freeway now, we line it up... speed is about 70mph, i'm in 3rd waiting :D. He gives it quicker and I quickly respond and WOT! He gets 2 feet on me and I start moving about 6 inches per second on him. 4th Gear (92 mph) comes. Gearshift so nice it pushes my car about 1 foot forward. By now i'm in front of him with roughly 3 feet of space between his front bumper and my rear. 120 mph comes a car and a Geo can fit in between us (God forbid!).

So he rolls down his window and so do I.

through the wind I pick out. "Hey man what have you done to it? (pointing to my hood)" I tell him "Mild bolt ons" but he couldn't quite hear. So I go off on my way and when I took my exit, he rolls near and thumbs ups me.




These new Depos with CCFL angel eyes really seem to be picking races for me. Ever since I put them on I've had stock CRX's to vettes to Lawn Mower worker's trucks try to race me. Gotta be careful, the dogs are out there.













:nono Anyways this was all theoretical fiction and as much as someone would like to use it against me in courts, its not happening.:D

It's the opposite for LT1's, though they still trap higher than the modded 328 in the story, so I tend to be leery (of the story).

Hmmm, auto tranny maybe?

I got my ass handed to me by an LS-1 with gears and exhaust recently.
From a dig to 60+, he put 2cls on me.

Actually, it's quite the opposite. The LT1 is great off the line, dying off as you get into triple digits. With that said, an LT1 still traps higher than a 328is, and the 328is isn't exactly strong from 3rd gear on ( I would know, i owned a lightly modded one).

I would say that the LT1 you raced was not maintained properly, and therefore lost some decent power, enabling you to beat it.

yeah i ran against a LT1 at the track, it was a mostly stock '97 trans am firehawk and trapped over 105mph. they have traction problems but pull hard..

maybe he was pulling a trailer?
