my daily driver vs. *****, geez

Ok, I'm at college and the camaro's back home so cut me some slack. I miss street racing so much that i sometimes get the urge to pick a fight in my 97 Chevy Lumina.

The car's really nice but not at all fast. It has the 3.1 V6 with 160 horses. Anyway, I saw a little black civic all tricked out and the guy was drivin it like an idiot. I pulled alongside him going like 20 mph and put the lumina in neutral and revved it. It took a little work but he finally got the point that i wanted to race.

We took off and my car downshifted to first gear, right where my little V6 is making it's power. I pulled on him...it was great, we only raced till like 45 mph but it was so cool. I bet the girl in his passenger seat laughed right at the guy.

Funny kill. Once I raced a civic in my work van. It was a 2001 Chevy Astrovan, and I won that as well. We didn't race up to a very high speed, but I won none the less.

The other night from dropping my brother off I was next too an Integra at a light, and caught him by surprise when I floored it. It took him at least 5-7 seconds to catch me and he never gained. The whole time he was blowing smoke out the back. Oh ya I was in our '91 Blazer. :-)

Yep if they hold together. IF. My neighbords Grand Am GT has one but i don't know if its a HO or not If I was driving it'd be a low 16 car (he can't launch, just does it like on the street and THEN gets on it haha, all stock btw), but i've heard many are much faster.

No it is only the DOHC but, for 200 bucks and a 200 for the eng. why complain. the paint and body look almost perfect. It walks the 3.1s I have raced even this one with exhaust work and won. The H.O. ones really move I would say an H.O. would run high 15. all day.
