Default Me vs 355 vs GNX...

Whats up guys...

I was in my friend's neighborhood the other day....Whitestone NY....and his father's buddies came over to check out his new m5 and z8. One of the buddies drives a F355, the other, drives a modded to sh!t GNX.

After a while, we all go to get something to eat. My in my s2k, friend and dad in m5, buddies go into their respected cars.

My friend's father had to go to the bank, so it was just the s2k, gnx, and 355. We end up on a one way street, thats about 3 lanes wide, and 6 blocks long. So we line up (at like 10mph), and decide to punch it.....

I was pretty even with the 355 till the 1-2 shift, but then I let go....why? The GNX was already at the light waiting for us....by the time I wound out 1st gear, the GNX covered 6 blocks. Fun time.

Note to self....dont race a GNX.

Oh, ok... I remember now... It's been a long time since I've seen one of those.
Some lady had one in my area. License plate said, "SUPRBUICK." It sounded like it was gonna rip chunks of asphalt out of the road.

Very cool cars for their day! Most the ones you will run into these days are modded and fairly fast..
