Did you ever pick on a lesser car?

82 GT · 03-28-2001, 07:59 PM

Did you ever get bored and decide to pick on a car that you KNOW you can run circles around, just for the hell of it?
The other day this dude was driving around in a '85 or earlier 305 camaro and it was beat to hell with blue smoke coming from the tail pipes. So I follow him through all around town until he gets the idea I am following him. He heads out to the nearest highway and stops at the stop sign with me right behind him and floors it around the corner and out the road. I had to make my stop and I turned the corner after him, missed 2nd gear and STILL reeled him in and blew past him. I shut it down and I see him come flying up behind me,thinking he is going to blow past me but I downshifted to 3rd as soon as he was next to me and you should have seen the look on his face because he was so surprised I was RIGHt behind already and passed him again. We get to the next light and he just throws his hands in the air in submission....LOL
It was funny. I don't claim that as a kill but was just having fun

yeah actually I raced a 305 camaro myself today on the interstate going like 70 he kicks it I leave it in 5th and I still begin to pull I was laughing my a$$ off so much it almost hurt.

How do you miss a shift when you have a automatic?

Rev · 03-28-2001, 08:49 PM

I did this a couple of years ago to a Celica GT, about a '99. He was driving aggressively and I hadn't had a race for a month or so. He had two great big dual exhaust that looked like Borla. I thought, well, maybe a turbo or N2O. He must have been bone stock except for the exhaust because I put 10-15 lengths on him up to 80 from a light. I was actually embarrassed for having picked on a 4 banger. He was cool though and asked what engine I was running. I just said "306" as the next light changed again and didn't have time to chat. I even posted this. The title of the post was "I'm embarrassed".

Sure, but only if they ask for it; like trying to beat me out at a light where the road merges to one lane or some other situation where I don't want to 'lose'.
I've 'raced' some pretty lame cars from time to time under those conditions but I wouldn't waste my gas looking for these kind of easy 'wins' beacuse it is kind of lame to beat out some 80 HP rice-mobile or 15-year- old clunker that burns oil. Sometimes, I just let 'em go if I'm tired or distracted or the traffic is too thick to risk getting up too much speed with no room to slow down.
Still, you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes, including dusting a clunker.
No big deal.

Sedanman, I had my '88GT at the time which is a T-5. Sorry, I didn't mention that fact in my story. I try to mention what car I am in to avoid confusion because of my signature but sometimes I forget to and people get confused. I will have to modify my signature since I have another 'stang now.

MR5.0 Don't underestimate those 15 year oil burning cars. I remember my valve seals not doing their job and I was blowing smoke everytime I punched it or cranked the engine. I had a guy in a 95 gt next to me one and the occupants were laughing at the smoke and covering their nose. That's when I throw a rev. He looks at me like "Easy Kill." Light goes green and he had a rubber and oil smoke sandwich that day.

I can't really say I have picked on people since I'm always the one with the slow car. Had someone pick on me once when I had my 150$ 86 mercury cougar. Pulled to a light next to a newer style camaro that looked like an RS or maybe a z and we and my cousins were lookin at it cus we thought it was cool. I forget if they revved at me or somethin but I floored it and 10 seconds later I'm doing 15 mph and they are at the next light it was funny. They gave me like 5 lengths or somethin. My cousins were like ok you can stop now cus my car sounded like it was going to blow up with the engine problem it had

I was running on 5 cylinders I think.
I do remember one time on one of those merge roads I was already over and it was close to being only 1 lane and some preppy jerk in a Lexus sc400 decides that it would be fun to go around me and cut me off for no reason so he comes around and tries to do one of those I'm gonna run into you unless you step on the brakes and I was like fool I'm driving an 86 Ford you can kiss my @ss and buy me a new fender so I just hit the horn and kept on driving and he was pissed so later he went around and cut me off and flicked me off through the sunroof...it was hilarious! Its cool to have money but it must suck to be stupid.

I'm such a bastard....today i raced my friend who has a '91 Plymouth Acclaim 2.2L auto. I wouldn't really call it a race. We were going uphill from a stoplight. I started behind him and got next to him almost instantly and by the top i was going about 80 while he was going like 25 or 30. I saw him gas it and the rear end sank on his car and i saw him laughing so i figured i'd show him some taillights. It almost wasn't fun. About a month ago i smoked an Acura Legend V6 (2 dr) and smoked his fly by's also, so yes, i'll pick on lesser cars because most fast cars will smoke me.

fastang:

You make a good point but I know enough to listen to the others guys' engine and the clunkers usually sound like clunkers, oil smoke or no. A good-running, modified old car (whatever the breed) usually looks and sounds good and that alerts me to the fact that I may get dusted or at least that I shouldn't get too cocky. This is how I manage to win most of the stoplight races I get into. Respect for the other guys car and knowing when to forget it and let him rev and go. Idiots in grocery-getters that try to cut me off or otherwise make driving a chore get blown off immediately, road/weather conditions permitting. I'm an aggressive driver and don't tolerate screwballs messing with me but I'm also not insane.
Sometimes you just gotta let 'em pass but if the situation is safe for speed, I use it.
That's part of the point of having a Mustang.

My buddy is into the early Nova's and he use to drive around in these multi-colored nova's that looked like it just came from the junkyard but he would always have a nasty built 350 under the hood. Man!! would his cars fly.
One thing about those old Chevy's is that you could spend only $1000-1500 on an engine and have a mean a$$ car.

white00GT · 03-31-2001, 12:36 AM

Ok you tell me if this would be considered me picking on a lesser car, or the lesser car trying to pick on me and me putting it in its place. Today when I was driving home from columbia a 96-98gt started trying to run me on 378 out of Sumter. I really didn't much care for the race but I though what the hey why not. The guy in the gt was determined to run. I started playing around with him only using 5th and 6th gears we were going 70-75. When I would leave it in 6th he would just pull on me a little. We did this acouple of times untill I got tired of it so then I started doing the same thing in 5th. Except when I would run him in 5th I would pull him 1.5-2 car lengths between 70 and somewhere inbetween 80-85. He started getting pissed when I would beat him. He wouldn't give me a thumbs up or anything when I started to beat him. That kinda pissed me off so of course I had to do it...I dropped it in 4th and lined up and blew him away. It was so funny when the guy saw me just walk him, I am guessing probably 5-6 car lengths before I hit 90ish from 75. He threw his hands up in the air all pissed off. It was funny to see him all pissed. So is that him just not knowing when to quit or is that me picking on a lesser car?

I usually don't screw with someone unless they are trying to show me they are fast, which seems to be alot lately. I had a toyota GTS(I think it said on the back) trying to get bragging rights, I got on it just enough for him to stop his clowning

. I've had a couple suv's act like they wanted some, what is up with that?!? One of the suv's was cocky(I couldn't believe it), he was making gestures and alot of bs. I just shifted it to 2nd and stabbed the throttle a few times. He stopped his bs immediately.

I just picked on an older Prelude tonight. I don't get many good races and I drive a LOT, so I tend to get bored and feel the need to play with something (don't go there). Often it's anything with young kids in, as they tend to get rowdy before I shut em up.

Your're right white00GT, I would have done the same thing. That other guy should have known that he was out matched. Yeah, sometimes I like to flex my muscles a bit just to give the other guy something to think about.
I guess you can never tell just what the other guy has under the hood though.

I had a toyota GTS(I think it said on the back) trying to get bragging rights, I got on it just enough for him to stop his clowning . I've had a couple suv's act like they wanted some, what is up with that?!? One of the suv's was cocky(I couldn't believe it), he was making gestures and alot of bs. I just shifted it to 2nd and stabbed the throttle a few times. He stopped his bs immediately. ------------------ Rick My 89lx(updated 2/21/2001) My 97 Cobra

I don't get many good races and I drive a LOT, so I tend to get bored and feel the need to play with something (don't go there). Often it's anything with young kids in, as they tend to get rowdy before I shut em up. ------------------ 1991 LX Hatch 5.0L

Yeah, sometimes I like to flex my muscles a bit just to give the other guy something to think about. I guess you can never tell just what the other guy has under the hood though. ------------------ '82 GT 351W C-4,BBK headers,Carter 625 carb,Comp.Cam,Flowmaster exhaust. 1988 GT...T-5,bone stock
