Well I have stopped driving as much lately to keep the miles down on my car, and have thus stopped racing as much. In fact, its been over a month since Ive had anything real exciting. First was when I was on my way home from the store, and an early 90s Nissan Pathfinder flies past me right when the light that I have been waiting at turns green. At the next light he starts revving all to hell and im just laughing to myself... I feather the throttle off the line (just for fun) then floored it to leave him 20+ cars back by 80mph... not really a race, just a good time...

Second race today was a lot more fun. I hoped on the interstate to make a run to Lowes to get a leaf vac when a 96ish Mustang GT pulls up beside me going about 70 and gives a gentle rev... he then takes off and I am still going 70... I see aftermarket exhaust and hugeass rear tires... anyways he falls back to my door and we both hit it at 70mph... he gets a slight jump (I hate my auto tranny) but then we are even at about 110 when my speed limiter hit... fun race, thats the best job a 4.6 has ever done against me...

Incidentally both these cars were dark green, like mine... seemed a bit weird at the time(s)

Nice! Seems like you had fun!

a96710 · 11-24-2002, 07:42 PM

11-24-2002, 07:45 PM

i know but its not mine... its brandnew with a great parking break did i mention it wasn't mine. Planning on just messing around with it. I'm bringing my RL in for its anual "works" tune up for winter and i get a loner car

ford50forlife · 11-25-2002, 04:59 PM

LOFL i HATE SN95 + mustangs ive seen them do 15.2 with 5spd boltons and slicks and skinnies, GOOD KILLS, teach those sn 95's that there subpar!

BTW i hope to god it wasnt in the HIGHLANDER you say because imma have a hard time believing even a heavy v8 in motion at 70! will lose to a 17+ second truck :o

Wren57 · 11-25-2002, 05:21 PM

Oh no, it was in the highlander

... and its not a 17+ truck... I ran 16.2 with it in the summer... yeah I know thats slow dont patronize me, but its much better than stock. For some reason though, and I have posted about it on here numerous times, I can beat low 15second cars on the street... dunno why, but I can... anyways Ive got some mods on the highlander and it is the v6 awd model... so yeah Ive actually run with quite a few nice cars, but am still wondering how

ford50forlife · 11-25-2002, 06:46 PM

hmmm..... sounds like the cherokee and some other cars out there,

i believe you, i got the same thing in my cherokee,

good races man, but it wont last forever because found out its just how you pick em....

trust man its that you are the superior driver thats all, good show though and good kill

this is coming from a stang freak too !

ShEaNy · 11-26-2002, 11:53 PM

good kill....my accord kept up with a 5.0 from a 45km roll...then he hit 4th and was gone...lol :o

ShEaNy · 11-26-2002, 11:54 PM

i forgot to say i was alone in my car..and he had 4 or 5 in total..... hehe

Wren57 · 11-26-2002, 11:56 PM

Yeah one of my friends has an AWD 98 I believe 5.9L Limited Jeep Grand Cherokee... that thing hauls... beats mine until abt 70mph when I pull away ever so quickly... gotta love toyota gearing

11-27-2002, 01:36 PM

nice runs... seems like a pretty fast truck

ford50forlife · 11-28-2002, 11:21 AM

wait a second.... now imma sound stupid since this is YOUR kill but DOOD that 5.9 is a 15 second awd truck dood it traps at 90mph EVEN so how would you come behind from a deficit, ive raced a 5.9 in my old black gt and had TROUBLE catching up.

Wren57 · 11-28-2002, 11:42 AM

Truth be told, I have no idea how I catch him, but I do... aerodynamics perhaps, whatever... when I get back in town I will see if he wants to run, and maybe I can put a video together... another factor is that he might be running a bit slower than 15flat 90 trap because his truck is quite a few years older than mine, hence mechanical wear, lost compression, etc... lemme know if anyone would be interested in a video... not promising it will happen because hes not a close friend, kinda a fringe friend, but hes always up for a good race

ford50forlife · 11-29-2002, 10:40 PM

hell yea i would love to see it

i am getting vex to compile one now from when we went out hell riding in the jeep and i raced a eclipse with a fart can from 65+mph WTF i kept yanking him from behind but once i topped out at 100mph i was done

that and i got my mustang on there spinning 1 tire, a 0-100 run .. WOOT 12.0 and some other shite
