Kill of the Day: Ecoboost vs. the World

beat a BMW 7 series a few nights ago. don't know if it was the V8 (750) or I6 (740), leaning towards 750 due to the size of the wheels. he pulled beside at a stop light me and kept inching forward, i responded and it was on. got him by two fullsize MKS car legnths by the next light. at that light he wanted to go again, so we took off and sure thing there was a cop on the right side (my side); luckily i only got to about 45 in a 35 and slowed abruptly. the BMW quickly took a left turn, LOL...
shows how the traction of an AWD car often trumps (the so called always superior) RWD vehicles in the real world when it comes to take off...

I think I had the heated seats on that night as I had 'fairer sex' passenger riding shotgun 8) The red honda spun the tires so hard mid pull, the crown of the freeway sucked him over to within inches of the dividing wall! I'll bet he coulda cracked Walnuts with his butt cheeks at that point. Clearly an experienced driver, he just eased it back over. A sudden correction and that drag-only rocket woulda spun like a top. Jeanie and I had a great view of the events unfolding, not that I would wish that ona 'fellow tuner' but it mighta been fun to watch :thumb::thumb:

killed my friends cobalt SS the other day. Stage 2 upgrades on his I think. The supercharged version. We did to runs one from a stop which was obviously in my favor as well as one from 40 mph. Both times prevailed even though the second time was a little more closer than the first run. Still womped him though in what he calls my fam sedan

Great SHOing, Red!
One of my biggest pet peeves is when other cars pace me for no apparent reason. This was occurring on a recent weekend trip in Mexico. An Altima, Audi A5 3.0T and myself were traveling down the highway and both were pacing me after a few minutes (I had the cruise set and was passing them, both sped up). So I bumped up to 80 and just passed them and slowed back down. I was going about my business when the Audi blew past me. I thought, "Game on" and caught back up we looked at each other nodded and hit the gas. I didn't get to see his face as, very quickly i was several car lengths ahead. After a few moments of this I stopped accelerating and let him catch up, he was in the same lane behind me. I think we were doing slightly north of 100. I waved and hit the gas again and the car pulled hard and kept pulling hard until I let off the gas.
A mile or so down the road I had slowed back down to what I was doing before all this started. He was getting off the highway next to me, looked over, smiled and gave a thumbs up.
