well last night i was taking my good friend home in the Dirtymax, and we pulled up to a red light. it was one of those "sit for ten years and die before the light changes" kind of lights. so she and i are sitting there waiting when i noticed a Mustang pulling up in the right lane, with a SS/SC 'Balt in close tow. well my friend sees them pull up and starts egging me on to race, and she LOVES races. so finally i caved in, put the truck in 4hi, and jabbed the gas twice to get the truck to lurch a little. right after i did that i heard the 'Balt give two very loud revs, and the guy in the Stang had a look of "this is gonna be easy"

i notice the other lights are changing to red, so i start brake boosting. the light turns green and my foot slides off the left side of the brake pedal, causing a full boost 4 tire chirp. almost instantly i pull a 1 car lead, and hold on to that lead right up to 65mph. in my mirror i can see him slowly creeping up on me, with the Cobalt trying as hard as possible to not slam into the back bumper of the Mustang. i hit 70 and shut it down, with the Stang almost to the front of the bed. shut down because the road merges from two lanes to one.

i never really got to talk to the guys after that, the Stang just didn't let off the gas. the guy in the Cobalt slowed down and gave me a thumbs up though

 

nice kill..is your truck stock?

 

bone stock down to the tires

 

Well done. I had a not-stock turbo diesel try to race me one time...that didn't turn out as well for him as he would have liked.

Too bad you didn't get to run the Cobalt, that would have been a better match.

 

the 'Balt would have ate me for dinner, he was on and off the gas trying to keep from bashing the 'Stang's rear bumper
