Riced Out Taurus gets whoped

Last night in tulsa, I was just cruising down Memorial, and this silver taurus with a spoiler big enough to put a frieght liner in flight, puls up beside me and the driver nods his head and then lays it down. I drop my 92 RS in 1st, and withine a second I'm caught up and wrapped out. I slip it in second and I'm gone, it was nice. First car a raced since I got the Camaro. it was pricless.

Not ten minutes ago I drove past this 4th gen Civic parked on the street. The thing was hideous. You know those scoops they always sell on ebay? This one had TWO of them on it's hood, and a really badly done exhaust, and my favorite, 2 flames decals stuck squarely in the middle of the FRONT side windows.

They wont need 500 if they are light enough. But I think you are still right.

Wow, congrats you beat a taurus...

Was it a regular one, SHO? Newer body style, older? If it was an SHO he should have walked you, especially an older style one. If any other one you did what would be expected. I drove one for a bit, maybe a 17 second car...

yeah i've driven an early 90's taurus before. it was gross, it almost made me vomit it was so slow.

okay that's exaggeration but I had fun trying to get it up a hill doing 50 MPH and flooring it. Speed limit was 65 btw.

I drove an 87 Taurus wagon for a couple weeks while my car was down, and needless to say it was insanely slow. I tried passing a lawn mower and well... took me a little too long, haha. Almost thought I wasnt going to make it before the car coming the other way got there!

Since I can't post pictures on here anymore, someone give me their e-mail address so I can send them pictures of a real cake taker.

Im not sure if thats as bad as a dude in a R!ced out beyond imagination Volkswagon Hatchback got beat by my Fiero Thing was primer black, spray can style from wal mart so the silver or white paint was showing through a little, a differant wheel for each side, a far cannong i could fit both my fists into, a bad exhaust leak, tinted hatch and one side window but thats it and cheap imitation hood pins...oh yeah, it had NOS, AEM, HKS, Holley, Edelbrock, Hooker, Mr. Gasket and a few other stickers on it...and some ICP graphic on the back window. Anyways I was comin home and the dude kept revvin at me at every stop light, so the next one I couldnt help myself, I revved the Fiero and what do ya know, I was even with him out of the hole and then PULLED on him and got like a car at the end.....I almost died laughing it was so funny. My cousin was behind me in his S10 and he was rolling back there, it was so funny. The dude followed me to the gas station....got out and nonchalantly walked over and asked me why I had to hit the NAWWWSSS, cause he SWORE he heard the "juice" hit...I popped my hood....er, trunk and showed him the bone stock dirty old 4 cylinder.....He gawked then embarrassingly ran back to his car and went home.....me and my cousin laughed so hard it was hilarious......
