Ever get owned when racing?
Just wondering what sort of things have happened to you guys when racing someone at a light.
Well, a couple weeks ago, i was driving my fullsize (89' Chev 1500) and this civic flew past me, so at the next light, i pulled up beside him, and he started reving his motor up, so i started a nice smokey for him. Well, the light turned green and i took off, i hit 2nd and it felt really wierd, then went to hit 3rd, and nothin! My shifter was loose and i couldnt get a gear! So the civic took off and i was at the side of the road . Just though i'd share. |

Re: Ever get owned when racing?
One time in my Grand Am I raced an old Eclipse. I figured it was probably a turbo but the thing was in such shitty shape I figured I could get him. Well, needless to say I got owned and then he owned my friend in his Grand Prix GTP.
The other day I raced my friends modded GTP (same guy from story above) in my 2.2 w/5-speed. His mods are smaller supercharger pully, chip, intake, exhaust work, and a BROKEN SUPERCHARGER BELT. He said with it broken that it was the slowest thing he had drive. Well lets just say that up to 60 my 2.2 is about 3 car lengths slower and he was still pulling. My final story was way back when I first got into cars. My first car was a 1990 Grand Prix SE and I had a friend who was driving his dad's 1994 (I think that was the year) Silverado 2WD with the 350 Vortec. Well I knew my Grand Prix wasn't fast and I figured it was a truck so we raced. I learned first hand that 350 Vortec = Fast! That truck also beat a 2000 Grand Prix GT and barely lost to whatever year Mustang it was that had the last 5.0. I think a 94 or 95. When I first got my Grand Am he tied me but then I learned how to launched and beat him pretty good. |

Re: Ever get owned when racing?
Got smoked the other day by a '93 Integra GS-R...but the car skid the first 4 gears and sounded pretty loaded...just whipped him by 1/2 car in my 1st and 2nd gears BUT then it basically FLEW right past me...damn...
I asked the guy if I could have a peek at his engine and he had chrome headers, msd ignition, stabilizers, mod chip, iceman intake, flowmaster, pulleys, cams, you name it... He said to me he's making 13.8 in the 1/4, which I believe him 'cause it ****ed my blazer... Can't wait to receive my FIPK and to have some extra dough to buy my JBA headers, custom y-pipe and msd ignition and coil to kick any freaking guy in any freaking integra... |

Re: Ever get owned when racing?
I've been driving a 4 cyl. toyota pickup since my (V8) s10 got totalled and last nite I got smoked by an old man driving a ford focus wagon.
A couple of times in the last two weeks I thought I was spinning a tire in snow/ice but the truck is just that gutless. I never thought the PT turbos were that fast. I would guess they run low/mid 15's based on my past experience (never seen one at the dragstrip but I have beaten a couple in my s10). They run well on a roll but are pretty worthless off the line. |

Re: Ever get owned when racing?
in my blazer (75 shot 2wd, intake, tb spacer, pullies) and i pulled up next to a grandma in a WS6 T/A....... it had exhaust and i thought this was to good to be true on top of the fact that it was manual.... (she had to be 60+ years old...) so purge it to get her attention and she revs to my surprise- I KNOW i cant take a ws6 but i thought "she's gonna miss second anyways...." well light turns green and that bitch is GONE!!!!!!! i felt so f'n stupid but hey i lost to a fast car, and to the most badass grandma ever...

Re: Ever get owned when racing?
i got owned in my dads 05 i5 colorado racing a civic hatch. my dads truck has aem brute force intake and magnaflow exhaust. the honda had the usual loud exhaust. so i pulled next to him and shook my head at him but as usual washington it was pooring so when i punched it i broke the tires loose and got a side ways so i let off and tried to ease it in but it would hold and he was already pulling a head. darn front wheel drives. they can drive straight even when its wet. i think i would have taken him if it wasnt wet.

Re: Ever get owned when racing?
I got my friend pulled over racing him in his 01 Mustang GT. Got him at the light and about halfway in the intersection I saw something in the corner of my eye so I let off and he kept going. It was a cop coming around the corner and nailed him. I just cruised by slowly. HAHAHA

Re: Ever get owned when racing?
I don't race alot, mainly the only people that want to race me is ricers which can get unchallenging. I start off normal, and hear their engine screaming or some shit just to keep up.
I have revved a viper with a Dodge turbo cummins diesel, mainly just to hear the exhaust and see the take off. Last edited by JE701 : 12-25-2005 at 12:03 AM. |

Re: Ever get owned when racing?
I raced a 56 Chevy pickup before.. It was blown, tubbed with drag slicks had a parachute, full custom drag truck.. I just wanted to see it launch so I racked em' in my s-10 at a light, it launched where it almost took the front tires off the ground and it didn't sound like he even tried too hard. Lost me in the dust though.

Re: Ever get owned when racing?
Back in 2000 I had a modded CRX. Typical rims, lowering kit, tints, intake and exhaust. It was very slow, but you still try to win sometimes. Well I came up to a red stop light going 35 mph and there was a LT1 Camaro at a stop. The light turned green, I threw it into 2nd and gunned it. He literally caught up to me in 2 seconds tops even though I had a 35 mph head start on him. A few months later the CRX was gone and I got my Z28. In the Z28 I've beaten my buddy LS1's and LT1's. Though I did get manhandled by a modded 3000GT and a head/cammed 5.0L Mustang. THat's about it.
