Yes too many times and that's why I got a supercharger to level the playing field ;)

People used to do that when I had stock exhaust. Now I don't get that so much.

It annoys me when they do it. After almost 6 years now, it just gets old. I live in a place with ALOT of nice cars, every make, every model... Thats why I went ahead and slapped a MARAUDER S/C sticker on the back, opened the exhaust up a tad and mounted the guages up high... Very few try it anymore, plus i'm quite sure by now that stories of Slingshot have been tossed around town.:D

If I wasn't paying so much a month for this car("The Big Aristotle") I would have some mods on it already

Don't let it get you down, happens to everybody from time to time. If you're stock a lost battle here and there is expected.....the war has just started for you!!! :coolman:

I had some pimply-faced punk in a green Saturn try me at a light one night. Typical race invitation; rev the car to the governor the whole duration of the red light while glaring at me then throw it into drive with the light turns green. His cute little jailbait girlfriend was with him so I threw him under the bus in about 60' when the hammer went down.

If I ever get a supercharger I'm eating every car at every light

Got spanked by a 09 CTSV at highway speeds. They are fast cars

I rarely get any fast and furious types. Any of the old farts with newer Vettes forgot how to push the gas by the time they could afford a fast car...

Get used to it. If you're a dedicated racer, 50% wins is real good. Quite often on T&T nights, I have one of the slower cars. Know your competition. You probably don't have much business trying T/A's (except turd gens). Even with a supercharger, you're not going to beat many wheels up Mustangs. But, all that said, never back down.

Everyone get's their hat handed to them from time to time. I drive a Mustang and I get everyone from beat up escorts to Challengers that want to run. Most of the time I let em gun it and I go in cruise mode. The only time I get goaded is when someone who has no business trying to race does it, then it is time to open a can of Whoop Ars!, or if I trying to steal the girlfriend of a guy driving a ricer, then it's game on

The slow car can win!!!! Ask Paul how to do it. ;)

They are.... I think where we loose it is in the shifts(unless you have invested some $$$ in a build/tune...Bradshaw Bros.:D), and at the far end of the track...... They breath very well up top. Off the line should be a good race:burnout:

I was next to one on the highway (was not gonna race him because I was boxed in) he dipped two lanes, and matted the pedal from around 80..... that car took off like a rocket. I see a used one of those in my future:cool4:

Everything goes 0-60 in 7 seconds nowadays.
That's why I rarely race people.
So, far I've spanked a Neon, a Titan, and a Aerostar. Hardly race cars.
Got my ass handed to me by an Audi...grrr....
