A kid i work with has a brand new 06 Monte Carlo with a 3.5 liter V6. Daddy bought it for him for graduation. Came into work one day claiming it does 0-60 in 5.6 seconds. I laughed and he asked why. I told him. Not even the Monte Carlo SS can do that time and you have a little V6, nice try buddy. He says. yea well what you got, ill race you. i reply with, My 15 year old Buick with 140,000 miles one mismatched door will destroy your Monte. So after work since we both closed we agreed to race.
Line up at red light on XXX heading XXX he shifts his car into neutral and gives his 3.5 some revs. I keep the ol’ buick in drive and hold the brake and push the accel to about 2500 rpms, a little brake torquing that he didnt know how to do.
Light turns, I release the brake and floor the gas, my snow tires spin half way through first and hook up. His Monte barely Chirps and he gets 1/4 on me from me spinning. I release the throttle just a tad to ease into 2nd and start reeling, get my 1/4 back and start putting lengths on the kid. Shut down at 70 to not attract to much attention.
He comes up at the next light, what do you have done to that thing, you got Nawwsss. Lets race again. I simply say, that I will always beat him stock for stock and that another race is pointless unless he wants to do highway rolls which he didnt.
So while this is boring as hell for most you people with real cars. For me, its a win, against a douchebag who thought he was fast.
I <3 my buick
