84 lx meets viper

84-3.8convert · 05-14-2001, 02:20 PM

*please note my car sucks*

me and my friends piled into my 84 lx convertable(w/ a shitty 3.8) and headed for the highway. as i pulled off the on ramp i saw a brand new black viper doing about 85. so i floor my 3.late and barely catch up with him. my engine sounds like its about to blow up or something and the guy trows in the clutch and starts reving it doing about 80 down this highway. he drops out the clutch and goes flying down the road leaving me and my friends sitting there saying "that was tight!"

....Umm......good kill??

j/k

Sounds like a nice looking car. I'm imagining the face of the driver when he saw you coming up on him...

he probably didn't know whether to laugh or get pissed...

I'm still laughing....

Oh well. I would have done the exact same thing. And its better to drive a sucky mustang then anything else.

I had a mid 90's C-4 pick on me when I was in my 88 LX 2.3L A4LD beastie. He really wanted to run.

So, doing as I normally do, I ran him. Got it to 34mph put it into 2nd. I jumped, hammered it into 1st, shifted back into 2nd at 40mph and I was only down a fender by the time I hit 50. (in case you are wondering, I perfected the art of 4cyl 35-50punch LOL) It was in a 35zone and there was a little traffic.

All I said out the window was "It's a 4 banger!!!" He looked mighty depressed after that.

That's what's called, losin with STYLE!!!

Sounds like my 1980 capri 4 cyl. People would always pull up and rev at me, they thought that blue smoke was from spinning my tires
