well, i dont often get to have fun in the car like most of you guys but tonight i felt a little frisky. On the way home from a buddies house i was enjoying the night when a blown (sn 95 gen II) mustang gt rolls up beside me and revs.. i of course rev back and laugh because i knew i did not stand a chance.. but **** i will play.. well, sadly he turned off the highway about 10 seconds later but oh what joy a SVT lightning (last body years) was behind him and i could tell it had exhaust and possibly a smaller pully (more then likely opened up the intake for more of the lovely whine).. i nudge the peddle for a sec and instantly he nudged back so i knew tonight would be fun.. i would finally get to face somebody i was wanting to test where i rank in line knewing i would more then likely get whipped like hell..

first race we slowed down to about a 60 mph roll and went on 3.. instantly i jumped ahead about 1/2 car length and slowly started pulling away.. we shut down around 110 and i was a solid 3-4 lengths ahead... i was shocked and called bullshit.. had to be a mishift or something...

svt rolls back up beside me and i give him a thumbs up and i get no reaction .. no window roll down to be cool or nothing.. i know he is pissed, he just got his ass whipped by an inferior car in his opinion on the outside line of a gradual turn! this time i slow to his speed.. this time we start at around 35-40mph.. no harm.. 2nd gear is great here.. 3 honks and we are off.. instantly he pulls on me about a fender but i gradually pull about 1 car length ahead and mishift into 3rd and when i recover i am exactly nose to tail with him.. by the end of third.. i had reeled him completely in and had a a fender lead on him going in to 4th where we shut down due to traffic in the distance...

overall i was extremely shocked by the outcome.. i have had a few races that have had similiar outcome with various cars that left me thinking.. damn..wtf how?!

 

nice kill dude!

 

all in all, fun is fun

 

i dont believe it... i need pix and vids... lol.. like this kind of proof... https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/deleted-threads-89/soo-pissed-60490/ lol

later

 

Great kill man...(sigh) if only I knew the ways of driving stick

 

yea.. i know some peeps might have trouble believing but my rep is pretty good here.. plus.. i came from the 5.0 background.. i knew what i was getting into i have a new found respect for these little 4-bangers after tonight.. ill have to find me a digi and keep it in the car with me from now on..

 

great kill. No need for a video - similar results here.

 

Nice kill I always want to race v8's but being stock I don't wanna get raped and laughed at. Can't wait till I get a stage II.

 

I actually thought about buying a 2004 Lightning when they had like $4,500 in rebates in late 2004.

They were really quick until they hit 3rd then it was like a set of air brakes came up.

 

nice kill

 

almost like what i raced... down low it was dead even with no ground being gained by either.. but as soon as 3rd.. i just start walking away at a good steady pace
