You get all the races... but then I don't really want them.

This Camaro with an open exhaust or something tried to race me. That car had a loud, low rumble. He could not pull on me even after I missed going from 2nd to 3rd. Plus I had my 190 friend with me.

But the weird thing is, this car doesn't feel fast at all. You know what I'm saying?

That's what my friends say too...it's just because it doesn't have that snap-your-neck torque.

That's crazy, dude. Not too much of that in Seattle. The geography kinda messes everything up. Two lakes to deal with, a lot of turns, and bad traffic. Plus it rains quite a bit.

But generally, not too many people street race here. How hard are you on your car? Have you noticed it getting any quicker?

Not suprising, I stayed right with a '98 Mustang GT in my Prelude SE (NON-VTEC). Those cars really need a change in the rear diff. to better utilize the low end torque that they make. A set 4:11 gears really changes the 0-60 on those cars.

Yeah its about 3am Jersey time, while cruising back home and immediately after taking a left turn onto a 3 lane road in Wayne, the 2001 Mustang GT (still has the temp on it!) drops from 3rd to 2nd when I floor it in 2nd it was over little after I hit VTEC in 2nd then threw the 3rd to leave him about 2 car lengths behind!, nice ending to my Saturday night (I didn't start this one either! )
