Ok so i decided to go out for a drive (anyone else just get the urge to go out for a drive at 10:30 at night? lol) Pull up to a light and this Grand Am GT pulls out from behind me up next to me stupid ricey sounding muffler (dont know why) we take off and there was no chance for him from the beginning got to the next light he took off with me again but when i was about 2 lengths ahead he gave up. Then at the light to get onto the highway an F-150 (around 2003 or so) pulls up next to me. The way our on ramp works is 2 lanes make the turn and merge into 1 on the ramp. We both ease around onto the on ramp probably going about 15 and when we both are straight on we floor it. Killed him as well i was at 80 like 30 yards before the highway. I got up to about 90 and was all proud and was slowing down to let him catch up. Got down to about 65 or so when one of the new 350Zs flew by me. So i step on it and i actually kinda keep up till about 97 or 98 when my overdrive kicked on but I was still pretty happy with how it went lol and i can really tell a difference after putting in the 93 octane tune from James Henson. After all this i got off at the next exit and decided i had earned myself a BBQ sandwich from Cookout. I came home and enjoyed it and decided to write this post. Just felt like sharing with yall ^_^ hope yall enjoyed reading it as much as i enjoyed the described events lol :biggthump

trust me i understand racing is dangerous but considering i didnt even get above the speed limit untill i reached the highway....
 






nice im not gonna bad mouth anyone for street racing as i did it every thursday and sunday for two years in my gsx which was probably worse since it was all 10 second 1/4 mile cars if they wanted us to race on a track they would build one close by lol
