The race that sticks out most in my mind happened last summer as I was driving home from seeing "The Fast and the Furious." My brother and I were looking for a race in my GT. We happened to pull up at a light next to a primered Nova. The guy revs at me, and when I look over, I see my best bud Ken riding shotgun in the Nova. He tells me that they are all out looking for a race for the Nova cause the guy had just finished the motor and wanted to show off. Also, there were 2 trucks full of Chevy guys behind the nova and they were all yelling about how I was going to get my butt handed to me. I told the Nova driver that he'd probably win, but that I was pretty quick too. He said "do your best, on Green it's on." Light went green, and I absolutely smoked this guy so bad, it was rediculous. I hooked perfectly and straight left him. I was so far ahead by 100 (he had let off) that I seriously could not see them in my rearview. I pulled over and put my hazards on so that they'd stop and we could talk, but the guy just drove past with the chevy guys behind giving me the thumbs up. The next day Ken told me the Nova guy was making all these excuses like he needed stickier tires and such. I think this guy was just an amatuer who tried unsuccessfully to build himself a rocket, and instead ended up with a high 14's ride. It was sweet, though.
