Talking Post up the worst loss you have had!

Since there is a thread with everyone posting up there best win, why not post up your worst loss. Nobody likes to lose, but theres always a sleeper car or something that you race that may have embarrased you. My worse loss in my SS/SC was against a turboed GTO, went from a 40 roll twice and both times loss by bus lengths before making it to 80 hahaha. It was fun to watch tho. The Evo is too new to have raced much yet, so no stories there.

bugatti. there is one in my area, was a bit hard to race while I was creaming myself and whatnot but you get the idea. (it wasn't really a race as much as me yelling like a school girl out the window how nice his car was and to show me what it had) about 3 seconds later I was alone on the road and extremely satisfied.....should really clean those stains tho...

Is300 with the 2jz-ge motor with a BIG ******* turbo and untuned pretty bad. His boost lag allowed me to pull ahead everytime but when he finally spooled he was so far ahead of me. So it went back and forth. But damn.....that thing sounded scary.

Audi S4. He said he had stage 3, whatever that is. The biggest ass-raping in history. I was stock and it was the probably the 4th week I had my first cobalt so I was still getting used to a stick but thats no excuse. We went from a 40 I think and before I even got on the gas, he already had 4 cars on me. That car hauled ass.

lol yeah, it was nice. My god that thing was quick. I just can't believe he has it around here. I don't really see too many nice cars for that reason, lots of vettes and 911 turbo's but that's it really. (and of course cobalts, we have a mild infestation apparently, they're everywhere, and not the good kind, the brown ls granny driven ones, if you know what I mean )

07 GT500 mustang. He pulled up next to me, I gave him the thumbs up... and I looked over at my buddy (whos not really a car guy) and said "Watch how fast this guy pulls away from me haha" I reved the engine and so did he. I kicked it down to 2nd going about 35 and nailed it. I watched his rear end violently squat down and then haha. He had a nasty exhaust on it... sounded sick!

on the dragstrip, Napierville Dragway, Napierville Quebec Canada... I rolled my 05 Cobalt base to the line... next to me was this **** brown mid 80's Honda Civic sitting on rusted 13" steelies with snowtires on them. I figured, oh eeeaaaassssy win. And then the guy looks over at me and grins the most **** eating grin I have ever seen. He reached down and pulled up on something and all of the sudden, the little piece of **** Civic started to sound violent... We staged. And BANG we went... I had a great launch, excellent RT and I had that Civic for the first 35 feet and then he was gone... I mean GONE like 11 second gone! He was turning on to the access road as I hit the line!
I rolled up to him as he was getting out of the car and i hit him with a line from Dirty Harry... "I gots to know."
It was a Prelude engine (H22?) with a big fat turbo hanging off the side of it, on the bottle... the guy had a dummy exhaust hung on it, all the gages hidden down low on the dash. Everything was camoflaged to look like a shitbox 86 Civic.


worst. loss. ever.

A chevy truck with a big block. I ran a 16.2 stock against his 9.42. At least I ran him lol but he was a sorry winner.

At the track I race all...win or lose. I just go to get a ET. Hell my track record is 6-24. 98% losses were Mustangs, One Civic SI(I beat him the 2nd race ) Then the mr truck that blew me like I was in reverse and he enjoyed it.

Sounded like he said goodbye Cobalt on the speaker. Maybe said Chevy Cobalt, but that 502 was making it hard to hear.

i was at the track lined up against a mk3 Golf that was primered, he had slicks and a fat intercooler. I launched and was almost halfway down the track when i hear a loud buzz and this thing flies by me like i'm in reverse. His R/T was around 6 seconds while mine was like, .5. He ran an 11.xx and i ran a mid 14.

The day after I got my car I tryed to race an SRT-4. This was also the day after I drove my first stick. I revved it, he gunned it, and I hopped and stalled. I felt like a ******* idiot.

Since I've learned to drive, I haven't hit a light with anything that wants to run besides riced out civics, and one old school firebird that was dead even, so my one and only race was a disaster.
