well, my first real spontaneous race with a stranger happened today. boy what a christmas present
i've been dicking around with friends and their cars as sort of a benchmark since getting my car back, and i've been to the track -- but this is my first real encounter on the street.
setting - empty intersection, two straight lanes (one ending about 1/2 mi up the road) with me in the ending lane. a c5 corvette with exhaust (all i can confirm was on the car... loud as hell, wasn't camming though) rolls up next to me and sits there for a second.. then starts bouncing back and fourth on the clutch at the light. we wait for the intersection to clear and when the light turns green we both roll into first and then just keep going.
first, second, third, pulled on him hard as hell - changed lanes in front of him with about 2 car lengths to spare as i went in to 4th although i must admit i was pretty impressed... i figured a c5 would have been a lot slower than that. all in all a good race.
merry christmas everyone, may your stockings be full of mod money
