Well.....first off I'm not a street racer and don't condone such!!!:rolleyes:
I was minding my own bidness about 10 cars back at a stoplight south of Charleston, SC on Highway 17.......All of a sudden I heard some serious throttle blips and what is beside me on my left....A BRAND NEW white Shelby Cobra with blue stripes.....very nice looking car!!!:beer: I put my BEAST in neutral and returned a few blips...the guy rolled down the passenger window, lowered his sun glasses and smiled in amazement!!;) A few more throttle blips and we were side by side.........I casually turned off my TC and O/D...waiting for the light. :cool4:
When the light went green we both laid back allowing the traffic to move a couple hundred feet away and PUNCHED IT!!:D I rolled into it trying not to spin and leaped to a two car lead.....leaving him spinning like a kid in a crazy "go cart"!!!:eek: At about 45 (The posted limit was 55) I backed off and he flew by...revving and popping the clutch several times leaving copious amounts of his rear tires on the roadway!!!:shake:
He rolled down his driver's window and gave me a BIG thumbs up as he disappeared into traffic.......That was fun but still not exactly legal.....I wonder what the folks behind us were thinking!!??:confused:
Just another example of how much better an automatic transmission is when drag racing......BUT.....the stick is still more fun to drive!!:bows:
GOD......I LOVE THIS BEAST!!!!!!!
