Three stoplights in a row with a S351
Ok, so I'm cruisin down a fairly empty highway a couple weeks ago and see a new style silver stang come rollin up in my rearview. I see that it has a different hood, and a chin spoiler so it gets my attention. Well, it does a fly by after he see's my car, and I notice that not only is it a Saleen, its a REAL supercharged S351 (495hp). Wasnt sure at first, but I heard the blower, and it just looked perfect, and it had a middle aged guy (only way to afford a $70k car) driving.
Well I figure since he did the flyby, he would be willing for a race from the stoplight that we pulled up to. I get a jump out of the hole and notice that he didnt even go! So I slowed down, and motioned for him to go when he pulled next to me, NOTHING.
We get the next stoplight, and I pop the trunk, and tell my friend to jump out and turn the bottle on, so he does. Now the Saleen driver is completely against racing me because he found out i had nitrous. But then he goes on to brag that he's got 495hp. Some more talking, and he still didn't want to go, and even said to me that "You'd get me"
Well even if that was true, it would still have been a fun race. But no, I get 3 perfect stoplights with no traffic right in a row, and he doesn't even give it a blip of the throttle.
How often do you even see a S351 in person, let alone get 3 stoplights with one? This was a chance in a lifetime, and it just had to be some self indulgent weiner with too much bloody money!
Just had to vent. Maybe he'll show up at the track soon, haha, yeah right.
