Kill of the Day: Ecoboost vs. the World
- Thread starter SRT82ECOBOOST
- Start date
Out on Woodward Saturday we were rolling next to. Last gen GTO with the 6.0L in it. My buddy was trying to bait him in but he just laughed us off. I dropped back a bit and then ran up along side him, letting off with my hood right by his open window. Once he heard the blow off he smiles and said "you have boost" and now he wanted to play. We went from a roll at about 30 and he looked worried that I was pulling on him. Being that there were so many cops I let off at 60. He kept in it for a few seconds then slowed back down to talk. He asked if I was afraid. We said let's find a light and run from a stop, he wanted to me run it out with him saying he had hit 105 earlier. No way was I doing that. Driving like that in a 50mph zone during the cruise is just asking to get arrested. It's guys like him that give the event a bad name. Cops are pretty good with stop light races if you let off around the speed limit and don't light up the tires or get sideways. I let him take off and looked for my next victim. I also got a charger R/T (easy stuff), challenger SRT, an Infinit M37x and a few 4.6 Mustangs. It was a good time for sure.
Yup, people can be stupid about it. There was another bad accident over the weekend here. Kid died running his Honda into a pole racing another kid in a Honda down a busy street. There is a time and place, it's one of the reasons I like to go to the track often. No cops and no excuses! But accelerating to the speed limit quickly never gets old in the SHO, that's where it really shines.

Its the only time they can feel fast passing all those parked cars
I had a good one about 2 weeks ago , I was coming home from a a great camping trip and I was towing my SO's pop up trailer. I know! if wanted to tow I should have gotten a truck, anyway I was driving doing about 75-80 (kph) just cruising and I hear a loud exhaust coming from the right side (on ramp) and I see this blacked out Merc it was a V8 just by the sound he had but I couldn't tell what it was debadged it but I would say 2002-03 c class. he pulls up beside me windows down with his SO looks over at me and just floors it!, I guess he wanted me to hear his sweet sounding exhaust :dunno:. so against my better judgement I give it, both of us going full throttle and trailer in tow ! I start to creep up on him to the point of passing him and I look over and see his GF laughing and pointing at the trailer. This guy must have been so embarrassed apparently his GF gave my GF thumbs up. I would have loved to dust him with no trailer and tune but it was fun completely embarrassing him.
So I think I got my favorite kill yesterday! I was traveling home after another long day in the finance world, with one goal in mind..... GET HOME!! I was traveling down the interstate with the windows down, sunroof open, and radio blasting all my trouble away. As I am traveling in the fast lane, I look over and see a BEAUTIFUL Black 2012 BMW M3 Sedan (4.0L V8 with 414hp, and 298ft lb of torque) come flying up the on ramp and take 3 lanes over to the fast lane and squeezes between a 18 wheeler, and another car to get in "front" of the line of cars.... So I said to my self, "Self, now there if a good opponent" So I kicked it down and passed 3 cars, and squeezed through that same gap (now much smaller) and I get right behind him. He looks in his mirrors and makes sure I am not the fuzz.... he finds out that I am not, and he starts blipping his throttle and lunging his car forward.... I follow suit, and toss it down into paddle shift mode and give it a couple blips to let him know I am game. The car in front of him will not get out of the fast lane, so as soon as the next lane over is clear he kicks it down and cuts into the next lane over and I follow suit. We are now doing an easy 90mph. He then gets behind another slow mini van and gets probably about 6-8 inches from their bumper and starts blipping his throttle and lunging toward their bumper... (douche bag move) the van moves over and he kicks it down and passes the van under full throttle from a 70mph roll, as I am still in paddle shift mode and have kept pace the whole time..... he then keeps in the throttle and moves over to give us a side by side fun time.... he never let out of the throttle as I saw that lovely black cloud coming out of his exhaust letting me know that he is all in..... I was in 3rd gear and was pushing the throttle through the floor board. Windows still down, wind screaming through the car as we passed 100mph.... I look down and see RPMs up to 6500.... with a flip of the paddle, I kick it into 4th gear and start reeling him in... quickly.... as I pass the 130 mph mark I look over at him and give him a big grin, as he literally has his mouth wide open in disbelief.... I was around him at 140mph, and walking away very quickly at this point. He never did try and get up next to me, even though I had taken it down to 60mph... he stayed back in traffic so he didn't have to face me.... made my week.... HECK! That made my month!

HAHAHAHA EPIC!!!!
funny thing is, I was trying to get my phone out and start recording but decided it wasn't the best idea to do that while trying to paddle shift and drive at 140+ mph.... I will be ready today.... I am also going to the drag strip tonight to try and set a personal best. Results to come.SHOnUup said:

Late 90s M3 with a total college BRO driving. I pulled up next to him around 35mph, kept bumpers in line and just kept pace. I heard him drop a gear, so i just floored it.... needless to say he looked over at me at the red light as I just had a big ole grin.

Its not a SHO but no one ever expects my sport to destroy them, that is until they do indeed get killed. Just obliterated this dodge dart with some fart can and body mods on it while he had his gf riding shotgun. he pulled up to me at the red light on the road to my house that is 50, he starts gassing it, light turns green and I punch it, by the time I hit 50 im 1 1/2 car lengths in front of him, but the clown continues to floor it till hes going at least 60 just to pass me. I think he actually believes that since he finally passed me as I stopped gassing it at the speed limit he blew my doors off.
That's not as bad as when I let my wife drive it on the strip downtown the other weekend and she smoked 2 crotch rockets a Transam and a stage 2 sti, these kids standing on the corner were saying they were gonna post the vid on youtube, although I have not been able to find it

I rarely ever get anyone to race me....either they think I'm joking or they know exactly what the MKS is capable of 
So far:
Coworker with a 02 wrx with a STI motor swap
Coworker with a 3valve mustang gt (07 I believe?)
Multiple 5.7 Hemi powered vehicles from a dig
Last and my favorite was my dad's Mercedes e500, he looked heart broken, lol.
