Runin with an LS1 TA

I tried to get the guy to race me for about 3 stoplights, finally he decided to give me a go.

he never lined up directly to me at the light, he stayed about a 1/2 a length behind. The light went green and I gave it a little gas, I wasn't sure if he was going to race me this time. Then he flys in front of me, so of course, I hammer it.

I reeled him in and got nose to nose with him, then we shifted into third. It was dead even until I shut it down at about 70mph. (we were already speeding)

Oh hell yeah, this is a hell of alot better than that 15.4 timeslip I posted right when I got the car!

The all mighty Ell-Ess-Juan Is UNBEATABLE without a highly modded third-gen. I hate it as much as everyone else....But It's true. If the person can drive, It's all over. Low 13's stock????? It's just not fair!!

Did you see the look on the guy's face, i'm sure it was priceless, he probably stayed a 1/2 length back cuz he was probably trying to give you a head start. Never underestimate the power of a modded thirdgen!!! Great Race!!!

Well, I had my GF in my car, so she was a witness.

The guy seemed obviouslly pissed off because after I mashed the brakes to slow the car down (I don't like speeding too much), the guy just kept going for what seemed like a 1/4 mile more. He didn't slow down at all. Unfourtunately, I didn't get a good look at his face, I was too busy looking at the road (and the nose of his car).
