What about what was the most embarrassing race you've had?

The first post I put up may or not be as bad as this one. I have posted this story before, so this may be a review for some, but it does belong in this category thats for sure. My ex was going out with this slobbed out kid in a 97 z28 with SS emblems on it (who is he kidding?) and for some reason, he wanted to race me BADLY. Being a bit cocky, I told everyone he wouldn't have a chance against me since his car is stock. This kid tells everyone that his car runs 13.4 stock and that its an SS. However, he just has the emblems. Does he have the hood? No. Does he have the one pipe exhaust? No. Well surely he has the White and Orange striped paint job right? No(yes i know there are some BLACK ones which he does have). So anyway, after a few weeks of throwing ideas back and forth through people, I was pulling out of my neighborhood one day and see him drive by. I had just gotten my 3.55s put in and decided to test them out on his a$s. I raced up to him. Going 50MPH I downshift to 2nd. NOOOOO! RPMs shot up to 5500 and I shifted. By then he has pulled a car length on me. I could not catch up. I lost. Now it wasn't from a start, I know, but I did not make much of an impression. He was laughing, flicking me off, and gave me a thumbs down(original). I was never more pissed in my life. Now he has a cat-back and a..well I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he has a *functioning* ram air hood. But NOPE, not the SS's hood. I want to race him again, but I am not sure if I will win. I know his car does not run 13.4s stock. Even with his new mods he couldn't w/out slicks. My 94 Z28 has FULL exhaust, cold air, shift kit, ignition, and 3.42s and it only runs 13.8. (it used to run 13.5. It needs a tune-up) But still, I am worried. I want to humiliate him. Since I can't pull a tough incident that I have posted up on another topic, cuz he won't fight me, I kinda have to win. Well, you guys see my sig. What do you think?
