3 kills in two nights

budman94gt · 04-07-2002, 12:53 AM

My buddies and I usually go cruisin for a race on the weekends. On Friday night Tim C and I were going out to see Mercury at his work, on the way a riced out Buick( Japanese and APC stickers everywhere) does a fly-by after we cruise by him. We catch a light, he is one car behind us, we all get our own lane about 200 feet down the road, we wait for a fly-by, as soon as he gets next to us we downshift to second gear and mess up his precious fly-by.

Later on that night I'm cruisin by myself and a 96-98 GT does a fly-by. I saw that he had his girl with him so I decide to embarass him. I catch up to him(I was really about 3 car lengths back) he downshifts to third from fourth and nails it, I downshift from fifth to fourth and nail it, in a short few seconds I put a good four car lengths on him. He does a fly-by and I get blocked in behind him at a light and he decides to do a little burnout which ticked me off, I catch up to him and he turns in to waffle house. I make a u-turn and head in to the waffle house parking lot I give him a nice rev but he wusses out.

Saturday night Tim C and I decide to cruise for a little bit. On our way back to the hang-out a 96-98 GT pulls up, we get a light and put about 4 to 5 cars on him, and Tim C puts about a car on me. Great weekend in my opinion.

That last race was definately cool. I'm still shaking now an hour later

. When we pulled up side by side and you were motioning, "Let's go!", I was hoping he'd try something.

I spun through first, but still pulled even, and by 80 the 96-98 GT was 5 carlengths back and still falling. The best part was when he wouldn't pull even at the next light, then followed us back to the hangout to see what you had, but not me!

Also on the way home i screwed up a guy in a riced out new Civic. He had a monster tach with a shift light set at 2 grand ( I could see it light at two grand when he left the line in front of me). As soon as we cleared traffic, I changed lanes from behind him, passed, changed lanes back in front of him, and still had time to hit the victory flashers, 2-3 cars in front of him by 70 mph. At the next light he was revving, and looked to be more pissed off than the Mustang we tag teamed.

I think i'm gonna have to move there or make a road trip! You guys are always getting some action up there. Down here not much to write about at all. b.t.w has Mercury "lost" his car anymore??

vtec8ter · 04-07-2002, 03:32 PM

nice kill. Tim C. you made the switch in gears, from what to 4:10's?, kind of soon. do you spin your tires alot with those gears in the GT? and are you thinking about any bolt-ons or exhaust mods?

Mercury · 04-08-2002, 12:12 PM

Cool Kills Tim C and Budman. Wish I was there to partake in the activities.

I should be back to hanging out with the guys all night now, and going cruising now, seeing as how I'm single again. I'll have the time (I havent even had time to wash my car for 3 weeks and you all know how I am about my car!!).

Gotta respect the Monster tach set at 2000 RPM. The guy must of had one hellaciously bad reaction time to set the shift light that early.

Yeah, there aint really all that much to do here in Fayetteville (Is there anywhere for that matter) but we find fun things to do on Weekend nights.

joe4speed · 04-08-2002, 01:20 PM

Sounds like ya'll had fun!

LOL @ "victory flashers" I thought I was the only one who did that!

The Sandman · 04-08-2002, 04:44 PM

I wish I woulda been out there too. I guess staying at home on a saturday night does suck after all!

Tim C · 04-08-2002, 10:14 PM

Vtec8er:
I went from 3.27 to 4.10s, I dont spin that bad anymore (suspension work). But 1st can be tricky. If I know it will be close, I feather the launch, but in this case I dumped it so he could hear me spinning by his open window. Ive got Flows and an off road H now, but I'll be getting long tube headers, and cams in the near future

Tim C:
it sounds like you are well on your way, and have a pretty mean GT. the homeade ram air hood. that is funny, but is it functional? or was that a mod you made in anticipation of the blower. do you run slicks? that might eliminate the spinning through first gear, or even E.T. streets, they work for me.

Mercury · 04-09-2002, 11:09 AM

Hey TIM C!

You aint got your suspension mods on your sig man!

Vtec8ter.

Tim's ram air doesnt utilize the hood scoop. It gets its air from the opening on the front bumper next to the passenger side fog light. Very similar to the March Ram Air system, but home made and mounted in a diffrent location.

vtec8ter · 04-09-2002, 11:15 AM

if that is the case, do i have ram-air also? i pulled my fog lights to fit my cold air pipe, and now air enters in where the fog lights used to be. can i claim that in my list of mods??

Tim C · 04-10-2002, 11:17 PM

Merc:

I edited my profile. I also ordered my headers and matching H-pipe. (If you know anyone who wants my old one, let me know) Im planning to install them while Im on vacation (Apr. 22-26), but knowing me I'll probably be trying to get them on the day they arrive
