Default Played with a new Pontiac G5

Well tonight comming home, I was going down one a main road that is mostly strait & no neighboor hoods. Im infront of the traffic becuase I was first at the light. I look in the rear veiw & notice this car cutting in & out of traffic and then he cuts over into the opisate lane from me. He has atleast 20 MPH on me and is comming up fast.

So I was going about 55 and when he came up to my rear bumper I dropped it into drive & floored it. Thats when I got a good look at it from the side, and saw that it was a G5 (the twin of the cobolt) and I also notice it was the lower model not the S/C'd one. Not That I had to look becuase as soon as had he got past my rear bumper and moved up to my door, he stopped pulling. Then I just pulled away like mad. I only pulled away about a 1/2 a car before I let off, but it was pretty ovbious that I was about to put a few buses on him.

So I go back down to 55 and let him go, and he slows down and lets me pull up next to him. Looks like they come standard with a 20 yr old that wears a backwards hat, drives with one hand on top of the steering wheel & has the seat reclined as far as it can go. He wanted to play a little, so instead of honking I just let him take off & get a bumper on me, then I just give it gas and go by him. Did that twice and gave him a thumbs up, but just got a dirty look.

Oh well, not the most exsiting race. But was alot more fun that the usualy ride home.

I have my seat all the way back in my maro too, but thats because its easier to drive with my long legs. Theres a difference when your in a small sport/muscle car & a midsized seden like car. So you guys are waived from that question of the gansta test.

The G5 isin't the cobalt, the Pursuit is. Had it been a SS S/C Cobalt you would have probably got spanked, those things can MOVE!

I don't have a girlfriend right now but every time my sister rides with me I always win for some reason. I've beaten 5 people with my sister in the carboth with my Z28 and my Sierra. Guess she's a good luck charm in disguise!

Acully it is the cobalts sister. They are both built GM delta platform and the G5 is pontiacs equivalent to the cobalt. (like the Firebird & Camaro) If you notice I put somthing in there about not having to see that it wasent supercharged. A supercharged cobalt or G5 would have pulled away from me pretty quickly. they are over a second faster than me in the 1/4 mile. (assuming a respectible driver)
