First Kill - 87 LG4 vs Neon

Kid pulls up next to me at a stop light, revving his little heart out. He got out ahead of me off the line, if I'd floored it I would have smoked the tires.

So, once I got to about 15MPH I floor it, and by the time I hit 40 I'm neck and neck, and by the time we hit 60 his hood is behind me...

Not bad for a tired old 'Bird, with nothing but a tune-up.

Oh, I almost forgot, I just about died laughing when he got ahead of me. Was able to see his coffee can exhaust tip...

He really was rowing through the gear box pretty good.

If I could have hooked up the power without spinning the tires I would have had him off the line easy...
