![]() (Well, second race, but the Chev. Blazer doesn't count.)
I left work about 2.5 hrs early today b/c I feel terrible (throat's killing me and body is exhausted). Anyway, it always happens to me when I have no intention of getting a race. Anyhow, I'm cruising on my way home and a few cars back, I see this red '95 Cobra trying to get next to me (you know when it's on before it even starts ![]() Finally, Cobra comes up on my right and guess what, a red light. Guy starts laughing and I start laughing too b/c we knnow it's on. He throws me a rev and I throw it back. MMMmmmmmwwwwaaaaahhh! Aaaw junk. Turning lanes get green light first. Then I, while sitting there waiting, hear Cobra's rpm increase a little, I shift into 1rst (gonna manually shift the C4 cause haven't had a chance to adjust the trasmission module--it shifts too early and I don't wanna take any chancees w/ this Cobra). Green light. Minimal spinning on both our parts. Before 1rst gear even wound out, I had almost a car length. By third gear (that's all I got ![]() We waved and cruised beside each other until about 3 lights later (where I was supposed to turn to go home, but plans had changed by then). With endless road ahead, sitting at the red, I looked over and made small talk with driver and ended it with "Wanna run again?" As soon as I said that I noticed that the light had already turned green and he answered my question by getting the jump on me-- his rear bumper right beside my front bumper. So, I hit it and directly after shifting into 2nd, I had already reeled him in. After shifting into 3rd, he was a car length behind me and so I cut in front of him. At next light, a little more friendly small talk and I tell him to have a good day-- I knew I would. Giving the Cobra driver some credit, I could tell he wasn't powershifting in the last race and so I assumed he didn't in the first either. Would've helped him out a little. Well even though I am sick, I can sleep easy. “…because, no one’s really gonna be free until nerd persecution ends.” ---Revenge of the Nerds ------------------------------- '79 Mustang Coup 4" Cowl Weld wheels (15x6;15x8) Stock 5.8L C4 w/ shift kit 1.5" MAC full length headers Holley 750 CFM Edelbrock intake 2.5" Off road H-pipe, 2-chamber Flowmasters 8.8" Rear end w/ 3.55 gears (Now that's more like it!!) ![]() Front: 225/60/15 Rear: 255/60/15 Eagle GT II 14 x 4” K&N air filter (getting the Xtreme setup soon) ![]() |
