Yes... I work at jiffylube and all the guys at work want to race me. And anytime we get a V8 in they say, and I quote "this will smoke you" when mines only a v6... I beat my bosses Caddy northstar >

and that's a pretty big V8 and I raced my buddies challenger R/T on the strip. I kept up till about 4th gear and then he started leaving

Every now and then. Sitting on 373 hp for now. When ppl see the L99 smokem in first, then second, and chirp the tires going into third they think twice. Can't wait for the cam.

alaskacamaro · 08-19-2012, 11:14 PM

I havent gotten anyone "offically" wanting to race but I do get a lot of people that "gun it" at a stop light when they pull up next to me. It kinda reminds me of when I go to the gym and they decide to start lifting exactly what you are lifting....

All the time! Tried to take a prius, she got me though. Those things are so fast... And they smell nice too!

I have a lot of people that try douche-baggery on the streets with me. I won't blatantly race. Case in point--some moron in an Audi A4 thought he was all zippy and probably had some mods or whatever and was being a douche and speeding up so I couldn't get over to make my exit. So, I casually downshifted to 4th and wiped the floor with him, and still made my exit with plenty of time. Buh-bye....

Really, you lost to a R/T? i raced a cpl, and beat them, without squeez, took em off the line, those cars are heavy pigs compared to ours, maybe he was moddem some? or you need more practice?
