What's the best race you never had?

My best race happened this past summer. I was out cruising with the missus, and saw this 96-96 looking white Cobra revving at everyone. So, I took the bait and buzzed him. I went to the next light and waited for him to pull up next to me. As he crept up, he wanted to start talking about his car and blah blah blah. So we were cruising down the road, because we couldn't sit at the light forever. We finally decided to go about 5 miles out of town and race back. We hit the turn around, and were putting along in first waiting for the other to jump. So, I let him get the jump, he got about 1/2 a car on me and he stayed there for the duration. He didn't pull away, and I never edged him. Darn good race, very even. After we got back to town, we pulled into a car wash and raised the hoods. He had a 5.0 in the thing. This was a bit of a surprize, because he had alum heads, Victor Jr. intake, claimed a cam, cold air intake, 3.55 gears, and running a laptop. Needless to say, I was proud of my little beauty. He also claimed to run 13.2's, but my car has never seen anything quicker than 13.4 so I think he was embellishing a little. Good race though
