80LS1T Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Well this guy at work has a 1984 Cutlas with a 427 BBC in it. Its running HUGE headers, a HUGE cam(something close to .600" lift) and hes diff is welded together to made it a posi(a cheap mans posi anyways!) The car is in ok condition but he thinks its a show winner. It needs about 10K stuck into it to even be considered a show car. Anyways hes been wanting to race me. Now Im not a a big talker, I let actions speak louder than words. So when he was saying that his car was faster, I was like well I hope it is you've got 75 more CI's and its a big block! Of course he was still making excuses today just incase he lost to me. He kept telling me that he thought his timing was off and that he cant get any traction and that his car has been slower ever since he put on a Elderbrock carb. Blah blah blah! So me and another guy from work hop in my car and he gets in his. Then we go out to the country on some back road. I get on the left side and he gets on the right and the guy in my passenger seat says "ready.........set.........go!!!!!!!!" Well he started to smoke his tires and I did a little but I didnt rev my engine to 5K and pop the clutch so my car hooked pretty good. After we got about 20 yards down the road, he finally got the tires to stop spinning and by then I had pulled a car length on him and I was still pulling away! Soon I was up to about 80 mph and I had pulled another car length(now Im 2 legths in front) and I was still pulling away! So as soon as I hit 100mph I decided the race was over cause there was no way in hell that Cutlas was going to catch me at 100mph. That car must float like a boat at those speed! So we lined up again, because he "couldnt get traction". I told him to not be such a cheap a$$ and get some real tires for his car. The tires on it werent anything special thats for sure! So the guy in my passenger seat does the same thing, "ready.......set...........go!!!!!!" This time I really hooked good and I got a huge lead on him right away. I stopped racing at 80 mph this time! Now Im figuring hes had enough , but nooooo he wants to race again. So we line up and he tries to baby it off the line, nope sorry didnt help any! I smoked him again! This time I made a point and stayed in it till I hit 120mph! Yeah I was a good 6 car lengths on him by then but he was still trying! LOL I then took the guy that was in my car back to the dealership and then I proceded to go home with a HUGE grin on my face! I just cant wait to hear the excuses on Friday!

Guest bastaad525 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I actually lost a friend from a race like this. This guy helped me learn to fly R/C airplanes... a really cool guy... he had this mustang 5.0 that he'd put all this money into... thought it was the fastest thing around. I raced him in my ZX once and it was close but he won me like 1/2 a car. So when I got the 240 I told him... this is 600lbs difference, no way you'll beat me. We raced 3 times and even with nasty wheelspin in 1st and 2nd he couldn't touch me.... he was pissed!! when we pulled over he was making all kinds of excuses and seemed really upset... and I haven't heard from him since that day... like a year ago talk about taking it personal.... that was with my 170rwhp half-assed built N/A motor with SU's.... good thing I didn't race him with the turbo!

80LS1T Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 This guy wont be mad at me, he'll be mad at himself! I'll bet that he will be purchasing some drag radials for his car soon! If he can hook, it will be really close but I still think I will pull on him because even once he did get traction I was still pulling away.

77280 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 no offence but that must have been one p.o.s 5.0 mustang if he had a bunch of money in it. my bone stock 89 lx 5spd ran a 13.80 with nothing but sticky tires. fast cars with huge potential if you no what you are doing i dont think he did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted May 22, 2004 Author Share Posted May 22, 2004 Man-o-man, were the excuses flying at work on Friday...."well if I would have got traction it would have been close" ........"When I put my slicks on we should race"........."yeah I dont think my tranny was shifting right".........."yeah I think my car was misfiring".......blah, blah, blah! It was beyond funny listening to all the crap that he had to say. I just kept my mounth shut and let him talk! I didnt even have to rub it in because all of the other guys were doing it for me! LOL Instead of the 3-4 car lengths the first 2 races and the 6 car lengths the last that I actually beat him by.....it turn into "yeah I heard you beat him by like 20 car lenghts! LOL Its toooooooo funny I tell ya! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
