Default [Denver] Friday Night

Well what can i say i got into back to back to back races this friday night!

Well lets see how it started out....i come over a hill on the highway and i see a white greenwood like a 1995 or so and a Silver C5 maybe a 2000 or so and he is following behind...well ofcourse i had to get some on this 4 lane highway...i start with the creep up on them in "OD" so the tone is deep and slow sounding...well the greenwood down shifts i see i have a contender :cool: so i down shift into "D" and where off he gets the jump on me :eek: but i have it about 3 seconds and i am pulling on him like he is standing still :rofl: so after slowing down...yep you guessed it...C5 thinks he can get me top end! :steering: so i think with my 383 and 3:73's this is going to be tuff...so we are going about 60mpg...and i see him get a jump on me! :nono: i dont play that...i down shift into 2nd then "D" and then "OD" and i pull on him so hard that at 140mph he is so far back i slowed down to 40mph for him to catch up and he would not get next to me! i did a slick turn and got off at the last second on the off ramp :leaving:

So i get off on a side street and i roll right next to a SALEEN! :reddevil oh yeah i was so happy :D i hate beating on my own kind but now it was just flat out revenge!... :boxing

I roll up and he says"IS THAT FAST" and floors it as the light turned green...as i am rolling by him and smoking my tires i am yelling :cuss ..."YEP I GUESS SO!!!!!!" and tried to get me a couple of times but i beat him so manytimes he didnt want no more...so he rolls up at the light and asks what do i have done? i said just a blower...and ofcourse he says well mine is stock?

I thought Saleens have blowers 2? :lolg: :lolg:
