Roush Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 no one has one !>? Kinda long but... One night after a local car hangout, my friends and I went to an Applebee's to eat. While we were there, there was this group of kids (2 guys, 2 Girls), maybe 16-19 being really loud and obnoxious a couple tables away from us. They were pretty much yelling profanities out, with kids right next to them (mostly the 2 guys). Other groups were upset with their behavior and complained to the manager. The manager came over and told them to chill out or they'd have to leave and the kids just kinda srugged it off. Anyway, we ended up leaving about the same time as them. We walked outside and we were talking about the obnoxious group who almost ruined our dinner, when my brother (whos kind of a hot head) starts yell talking, so the kids would hear, "Isn't it past their bedtime", "Shouldn't they call their parents to come pick them up", and "Don't they have to get up to go to middle school in the morning", stuff like that. So the kids heard it and actually walk up on us all pissed off, having no idea that we were even into cars at all, and say, "Why don't you race us for pinks since you're so tuff". We start laughing at them and my brother tells them his Camaro would destroy whatever they got but its at home, which was like 5 mins away. So they're all like, "No we wanna race what you guys got here, we don't wanna wait". So we ask what they got and they reply "That truck other there... it runs 7.50s in the 1/8th mile". It was some older single cab Chevy truck, that did sound kinda mean, but we didn't really believe it so we told them, "we got a car for ya". I pull around with my Quest, G54B still at the time, non- MPI though and ran a 8.7s in the 1/8th with pretty good MPH, 82ish I think. They start laughing at my car, because its a 4 cylinder and I'm thinking they have no idea. So I follow them through the parking lot out to the race road and they're drivin like idiots, fish tailing everywhere. They pull over on the side of the road and start messing under the hood with their air filter or something and I pulled over too. One kid walks up to me and goes, "we're not really racin for pinks are we?", so me, still sketchy about the whole thing, told him "no, we're just racin". He tells me they want a 40 roll and I agree. So we line up down the road, 3 beeps and we go. His truck downshifted and took off sounding mean, but I proceeded to walk away, putting an easy 3+ cars or so on him by 90-100ish. My bro, who was following, started hangin out the window yelling at them and makin fun of them. The kids kept drivin and we turned around to go home.

sctsi Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 OK, Quick story. Its 1982 and I own a 70 GTX 440-6 with a warmed over engine, cam and header exhaust system. 727 torqueflite transmission. Wife is pregnant with our first son and is wanting me to go after some dinner after a nice 12 hour work day. So I set out alone to go and buy us dinner in the next town over. Its a few miles on US-29 that is a 4-lane highway. I have really nice black Porche 911 riding my bumper and there is no other cars around us. He gets tired and goes around me and as he passes on the right lane I look and see he is a rich kid who I knew in High School. His father owns Shoe Show and hes got a really hot looking girl with him. They are dressed to the nines and look to be going to a really high class party. They move on by and I think to myself (lucky guy). But as fate would have it we line up side by side at the red light. He looks over and starts to rev his motor and I'm thinking no way. I'm going after dinner and your going out on the town... nuff said. But when the light turns green he takes off rather quickly and his date has her hand out of the sun roof waving bye bye. With him 2 car lengths out I felt anger as they were seemingly condersending, duh. So I pinned the throttle to the floor and as I broke traction through first gear I made little ground up on the 911. But second gear and massive wheel spin I started to reel her in. I could still see her hand waving as I went past and put 3 to 4 cars on the Porche. The look on her face was priceless. I shifted to D and let off the throttle with 6 to 8 car lengths on the mighty Porche. I waited on the 911 so I could get the thumbs up... but all I got was a good cussing and a very eviel look from the driver. He begged me to run a little further down the road, but I knew he had me on top end and my resturaunt was on the next turn lane. I just smiled and said to myself "take it easy and have a nice day". I still have the GTX and the kids... not the wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starquest34 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I have a quest powered 1980 firearrow. In 1989, i came a redlight with a brand new corvette next to me. The guy had a T-Tag on it, and he was too happy to own his new car. When the light turned green, we were heading up to the bridge.. I had him by 3 cars. My speedometer only registered up to 85mph. It was pegged for a while. I let off the gas at the top of the hill, to let him catch up to me... and he was waving me over at the bottom of the bridge.. I thought it was important, thinking maybe he seen something wrong with my car. When we pulled over he ran up to me, and said " What kind of car is this?!?! I only see 1 exhaust pipe coming out of the back of this!" Then he wanted to see the motor, It was night time. I said sure.. and opened the hood.. and he was shocked to see a 4 cylinder under it with the glowing red turbo. He was upset that he had just paid alot of money for his corvette and had just got spanked by a little rice burner with a 4 cylinder.. He then offered to buy the car that I had just built for $900, and i said "sorry, it's not for sale" That's the best spanking I've done in a while.
