I don't even try to race often because gas prices are too high now!
$206.9/gal is getting to be just sad.
Anyway...
Sadly, back in 1999, the fuel regulator in my Porsche went bad just as I was at the light when a late 90'sToyota pickup was revving.
He completely left my car by several lengths, then honked and gave me the thumbs down.
Why did the regulator have to go bad THEN? hahahaha
My car was absolutly awful until I got the new fuel regulator ... LOL ... I think an old Yugo could have beaten me then.
A few days ago, a riced out Civic was revving and inching forward at the light.
Wing, big exhaust, lowered suspension, CF hood and lots of stickers! LOL
I could tell by his shifting he had a 5 speed and didn't seem to shift very smoothly. heh
My Lanos engine is 100% stock apart from the cone air filter ... AND it's an automatic transmission.
The light went green, his car squeeled & mine didn't. My car immediately pulled away from the light ahead of him and left him by several car lengths. I changed lanes into his lane and back into mine so I could get around a van. He pulled up next to me and revved, so I left him again. LOL
Best of all, I never exceeded the 50mph speed limit. LOL
