so first off let me clearify that i went into this one expecting to have my ass handed to me, my confidence is still pretty shaken up since my last encounter with a certain sunfire…
but, coming from from Melissa’s tonight, i decide to take my usual long way home, and by long way i mean a 10 mile detour…and so this leads me to the road on which the fun took place 
way ahead of me, i see a car make a turn onto the road which i am traveling…and the tails look very familiar, and my car was feeling fast tonight (yes, my car has a personality, and it changed it’s mind as to how it wants to perform daily on me) so i go after it…it looked like a camaro, and what do ya know…that’s exactly what it was. an older style (not old older, but like…late 90’s style), Z28 with i believe the 305hp, 335tq LT1 in it (i’m not an f-bod buff by any means, but that’s the numbers msnautos.com is giving me, so correct me if i’m wrong)
i got next to the guy, and he got on it a bit, so i did the same and got back next to him…for a while we just paced each other…i was constantly looking over hoping to get his attention so we could set it up properly, but rather he just kept blipping the throttle…or at least i assumed he was doing so, but with his stock exhaust it was hard to tell, i couldn’t really hear it…
assuming though, that he was in fact blipping his throttle, i did the same right back, dropping down to 3rd at about40 or 45ish, i decide to hold a blip to see if he chases…BINGO
i get into it as he gets up next to me, and we hold pretty even up to about 70ish, but i’ve seen many cops in this area before, so i slowed down a bit…and waited to get past the intersection we were approaching…
get next to each other again, i roll down my window, but he still wont look over, but rather we each get on it again a bit, he jumps, i chase…i stay in 3rd and by about half way through 3rd gear, i had reeled in the 1 or 2 car lengths he had jumped on me at first, and began inching on him…again though, we both shut down, it was very close…
finally, we both slowed down enough to do a 2nd gear pull, from maybe 25ish or so…he STILL wouldn’t look over or anything, so i just waited for him to get on it, and sure enough…he did, and i kinda predicted it, so it wasn’t long at all after that i got on it, losing no ground on the “launch” (in quotes because you aren’t exactly launching when roll racing)…
this one felt good…i immediately put his front bumper at my door…and out of second, into third…his front bumper at my rear bumper…by about 85mph or so i had about 1.5 to 2 cars on him, but if he’s on here, he would have to clearify that because the blind spots in my car are horrible…all i know is that i was ahead of him, and he wasn’t coming back :tup:
obviously his car was completely stock, otherwise i would have been toast, and i still dont understand how i pulled him at all, with my car being so sloooowwww…but hey, it was still a good time, and hopefully somebody on here knows him and gets him on here to post the other side of the story so everybody is on the same page, because these things always vary from one car’s point of view to the next’s…
and i was already asked “how come you’re racing, i thought you weren’t gonna get on it until you get your compression problems all worked out”
yeah well, that’s true…it still is true, but how could i pass this one down, no cars around, and a V8 f-bod on the prowl just the same as i was…it was too good to say no to, but this in no way means i’m accepting challenges, because i really should be taking it easy on my car until everything is in top notch shape
