Haha. That's like killing Bambi with a nuke..
So here I am, 7:00AM on a nice cool Saturday morning in late June, and I have just picked up my detail guy and best friend (Eric Witt owner of www.trushine.net ) to take him to his shop to polish my paint and make it look brand new. I told my buddy when I picked him up, "I hope we get to mess with some poor unsuspecting souls on the way..... So we are just rolling down the interstate with the windows down, sunroof open, and tunes playing, when all of a sudden a dodge charger R/T 5.7 flys up behind me (I am doing 80 in a 55 already...... in Mexico of course) and I just stayed in the fast lane hoping to make him a little mad..... it worked... he pulled up next to me and just stayed there..... so he is looking over at a bone stock SHO at this time with 2 dudes riding with the windows down and jamming to some Bon Jovi, Living On A Prayer....not really, but anyway, I give him a little down shift and lurch the car forward.... he bites! We hear him kick down and "take off", so he got a jump on my and pulled a half car on me before I even knew he was going.... so I kick down and take it from 80-125 pulling on him HARD, I ended up about 15 car lengths in NO time.... My buddy said.... "he must have had the V6 version" I quickly reminded him that it was the 5.7L.... So the guy pulls back up and rolls down his window and says "What the **** is that thing???" Which I politely reply "It's just a Taurus" He tipped his head down and said "Well done...... well done" NOW I am running the LMS stage 4 tune..... smoking M3s.... SRT8s...... 5.0s....... old school viper (not kidding)...... I love LOVE LOOOVE this car!

This is my favorite thread!!! Love reading this stuff!!
I got called out by a high school kid in a 2012 civic si. Told him to saddle up and lets do some hits from 30mph and at least one from a standstill. So we went to Mexico and were cruising at 30, I honked three times and off we go! Whats that? Your're up half a car length on me? Ok better push the pedal all the way down instead of half way. Wanted to give the kid some hope. So the turbo's spooled up and I blew past him like he was in a, well, civic lol. We came to a stop and he asked me if my car had a turbo. I said no, it has two! He still wanted some but from a stand still. We lined up, I held my RPM's at 2,000, and Houston we have lift-off! It reminded me of the killing the guys on Street Outlaws do when one of them loses traction and the other hooks up and takes him by 10 car lengths. Needless to say it was a fun educational moment for the poor kid!

I had a civic si pull up next to me at the light while i was in the turning lane.. i gave it just a little creep forward to get his attention since he was tooling around like a bro. Once the light turned he displayed a unimpressive failure of traction and to my left on the other side of the intersection was a cop.... hah. Should of seen the look on his face. Priceless.

I meant to write this one a few weeks ago, but yesterday, I met that guy that I had raced in April again... And we did a rematch!
We are in Mexico for sure.
In April, I was at a gas station and I see a guy coming out of his Porsche 911 Turbo white with black stripes. A beauty (the car not the guy lol!). I asked him if he liked his car, if it was fast and he told me yes and yes. Plus he told me it was tuned and had about 650HP. Cool! I said I had a less pretigious car, but if he didn't mind, I'd like to see what I could do against him at a red light. The guy was a player and he accepted. We got out of the station and lined up at the stop sign. He asked me to leave when I was ready... Lol he was not expecting that! Twin turbos with no lag, 0-60 in less than 4 seconds... His Porsche is potentially fast, but it has a lag and it is standard... I let go at 60 and we lined up again at the second stop (boulevard). He told be F--k!!! We did it a few times and honestly, I was right beside him the whole time until 80-90... then I was letting it go. After that he would pull on me, but on a boulevard, even in Mexico, it was fast enough.
Yesterday, I was with my brother-in-law (who is Mexican for real!) and I saw that same guy again on the same boulevard, woohoo! I was giving a ride to my bro-in-law, so I made a U-turn.
The guy was with two pretty girls and he told me that he was talking about my car to the girls 20 minutes before, so what a coincidence! I asked him if he minded to race again so that I could show my bro-in-law a real race, no problem he said...
Exact same scenario as the first time!
So, basically, his car has more power, but he is not the best driver in town. At launch I have him, he catches me back, but then he shifts and my car pulls ahead, he goes in front and then shifts again... Not that bad, but he told me that his next would be auto double clutch! Lol!
I love when people are not pretencious and like to play a bit. 2 thumbs up for his car, one thumb up for him!

Staying in the same zip code as a 911 TT even in stock form is impressive. Would be a different story I'm afraid with the new 911 TT S, which is PDK only. Those things are sub 3 seconds 0-60. But it costs around $200K, so it better be fast lol.
