Trash Talking LT-1 goes Down. Then a WRX and more.

[Mercury]

Geez, if Monday and Tuesday are indication of how the weekend will go, I'm looking foward to it immensley.

First some background so this can be appreciated by all Mustang owners (BudMan, Tim C, RS350, and Navigator, you'll like this). Okay, I get along with MOST of the Firebird Club people, for obvious reasons (I'm dating one) and they for the MOST part have alot of respect for me, and my little GT. Theres this one guy that drives a White LT-1 Trans AM, Auto (Modified, chip, exhaust, airfoil, K&N) who always talks trash about Fords, and especially Mustangs.

Well, when I pulled in Saturday to meet Marya, I was fashionably late. I heard some of the Bird guys welling something, but my mind was focusing on Marya. Well the next day I find out they were talking trash about my car, and how it "Sure sounds good, but its slower than a Honda."

I found that the dude with the White LT-1 TA was doing most of the trashtalking. I was pretty hot, and was going to purpose a race this upcoming Saturday when I saw him (If I did, I'm not really sure what me and Marya will be doing..All I know is its something.).

Well on the way home from work, I decide to drive around some before heading home. I'm at an intersection, in the turning lane, waiting for my light, when I see a White TA drive through. My light turns, I take the left, and I see the TA's break lights. He starts slowing down. I speed up to catch up. When I get close, I hear it hit a gear lower. I dont know if it was Second, or Third, but it seemed to be up there in the RPMs. I slow down to 35, and go into second gear. Pull up beside him and he Nails it. I Lay the hammer down, and just walk by him like hes standing still. I hit third and see him falling back more.

Slowing down to see if he wants a second helping, we catch a light. I always have my window down, and the passenger had his window down. So I proceed to start talking trash.

"Damn Dude. DO you know which pedal is the Gas." I yell over. His passenger starts laughing. He lurches foward, and I do. The light turn, He spins, I spin. We both catch traction and take off. I just steadily pull away. I shut it down at 80. I had him by about 3 lengths maybe a tad more.

I slow down, and he passes me. We drive for a little bit, I trail him by a car length. Then we catch another light. I didnt think he'd want a third beating, but blips the throttle to the line. So I do the same and yelled "Bo, you just dont learn do ya."

We sat there waiting for the light. Now, for some strange reason, I put my car in nuetral. The light changed and I was caught off gaurd. He started spinning. I shoved it in first and floored it. He had a car lenght lead on me when I finally started rolling. I caught him by the end of first gear. I hit second and started pulling even more on him This time I rung her up onto 100 and turned my Hazards on. I had him by about 5-6 car lengths.

We slowed down, I put my hand out the window and gave him a thumbs up. He pulled even and I yelled over "LT-1 or LS-1". I hear this familar voice yell over "LT-1."

I lean foward and see Arons Big doofy head. I couldnt help it
"Aron...Is that you?" He looks over.

"Oh s**t. Hey D." (I get called Dee alot)

"Aron, I smoked your a*s. Dang Man."

NO offense Inferno or Rex (You are both respectable members of this forum and drive cool imports) but he said "At least in wasnt an import."

"Oh, I thought you said I was slower than a Honda man. Whats up with that." Of course he denied saying such.. I just waved and told him good race and left him again. I wanna see what he has to tell the FireBird Club about that.

Then I raced a Fox Body 5.0. I dont know if he was stock or what, sounded like exhaust. Think it was an auto.Thats all I could tell. Smoked him 3 times also. We started from a roll, about 35 MPH. I just wanted to see what he could do, so I stayed back. He slowed and tried to get me to race again. He slows down enough and waits till I'm about a car length behind him (We were doing 35 again.) then he nails it. I drop my baby in second gear and Take off. I pull on him like crazy. Catch him when I get into third. I pace him for a few seconds and keep gossing the throttle.

He was still at wide open the whole time. I just floor it and start pulling away. I go up to 90 (One car length lead due to my playing around) and let off. He does a fly-by and turns his Hazards on. WTF.

Then the light up ahead turns red. I was smiling so much it hurt. I pull up next to him and his girl was checking the car out. He Reved, so, I rev back. The light turns, he spins..And looses right there. Wasnt even much of a race. I left him bad.

Third time we catch another light. He revs again. The light turned and I let him take off. He got a little over a car lenght ahead when I nailed it. Beat him. I kept on it as long as I could till I had to let off for the curve ahead. So, I turn my Hazards on.

This post is getting long. And you all are probably asleep now from reading so much. I'll post the Tuesday WRX, and Formula LT-1 kills another time. I'll also be sure to write them so there more interesting.
