First Wins
On saturday night I was just driving home and a red New Edge Mustang GT wanted to race at a light. I new I was doomed (stock 1992 Camaro Z28 350 with shift kit) but I don't mind losing, its still fun. Went to about 60-70. Beat him. Didn't stop to talk to him or anything just went our separate ways. He must've been a horrible driver. Later that night I'm driving around with friends to get some food when we happen across a kid we know from school. He drives an early 2000's camry with one ugly ***** body kit on it. We don't like him so I rev my engine at a light and he does nothing. Okay who cares. Light turns green and by some miracle he manages to spin his tires (I have no idea what he has done to the thing except the body kit). I am already going about 10mph but floor it and manage to spin mine off as well. We don't race yet though. Due to some traffic I get ahead of him just driving the speed limit when my friends scream "He's coming! Go, Go, Go!!!" I look in the mirror and seem him hauling some *** trying to do the old fly by. Not to me. I down shift as best I can from OD to D and floor it. He's still gaining as he had a huge jump on me. Go up to about 80 and not once did he come even with my rear bumper. My friends say I was walking him once I hit about 60-70. Not an impressive win I know, its just a stock camry (probably), but I weighed about 500 lbs heavier than normal thanks to 2 150lb friends and a 200lb one in my car, and I was in third (stupid automatic). Win is a win. I'm going to be beefing the Z up when I get back from europe. Mild engine mods up to about 350 RWHP then I am attacking my suspension with a vengeance.

Re: First Wins
yea 2000 ish auto camrys are only good for low 16s maybe high 15s with a v6. They did not make to much power until the current body style with the 3.5L.

Re: First Wins
OP, your post would be a LOT easier to read if you actually used proper paragraph format. ( or at least something besides a wall of text )
Though I am glad to see you put a pretty big beat down on the riced out Camry. ( Who the **** tries to race a Camry?! Especially against a 5.7L V8...)
Weather you think it was a small win or not, that will REALLY hurt a Ricers ego when you beat them after they're already flooring it and bearing down on you before you even punch it.

Nothing wrong with racing a carry the 1mz is a great platform. I would match my 2 door carry stock for stock vs most of the guys around here.
If you see this one watch out he is putting down about 600whp with a 3l V6
\Hell some guys just triple charge them
