First off- I don't hate any make of car. If someone invests their sweat in building a car, I appreciate the effort!
However- when I was 16 (now 40), myself, girlfriend, and her brother were cruising the local sceen where people raced (something I did quite a bit). We were in my Duster (stock) when a guy pulled next to us in a Ford Pickup and did a chirp burnout at a stoplight. When the light turned green we both nailed it and ran as hard as possible all the way up to apprx 100 mph. At the end of the run he was about 1 truck length ahead of me. At the next light, he stops, leans over and yells out the window "Don't feel bad, this has a 460, 4 barrel, and headers"; to which I yelled back "I don't feel bad, this has a 318, 2 barrel, and single exhaust with 3 people in the car and you only beat me by 1 length!" He had the strangest look on his face and we laughed our ass off all night long about this! |

Good story
I had the same type of thing the other day. I had a Camaro pull up next to me in my neon. I guess he wanted to show his girl friend how hot his car was or something. She was good looking though (the girl not the car). lol Anyways light goes green i take off in first he squawks em and takes off a car ahead right off the bat. I stay behind not really pushing it anyways but pulled it enough to stay close. Now mind you I wouldnt be able to beat him anyways. But I stayed there and let him go when my turn came up. He probably was braggin about it all but I knew he would beat me and dint care. For gods sake its a 2.0 neon vs a 350 LT1 what would you expect. It was fun and all I could think about was what if I had the 'cuda. I laugh at these guys even if I loose because usually I can keep up to a degree.
