I was on a 4 lane road going onto I-55 when I see a 2000's Mustang GT pull up next to me on my left. He keeps it in low gear enough for me to hear his exhaust as he passes me doing 30. I return the favor and let him hear mine. He then stomps on it and I catch right up.
How do I know he was spraying? He was advertising it! He had one of those custom license plate covers that you can put your own letters in and I have one too. Mine says BUY A HYBRID I NEED GAS and his said YEAH IT'S RUNNIN' N2O. I put my window down and we started to talk while doing 30 or so.
He actually remember me from 15 months ago or so. He said "Hey I remember you! We raced in the back of the yards and you destroyed my car." "Seems like you have done a few things since then." Just as we were about to finish our conversation a yellow Bug is behind me and beeping. I look at the Mustang driver and said "You ready to to leave em behind?" Maybe stupid for talking about a VW, but we knew we were going to put on quite a show for everyone. We both hit it at the same time and got exhaust and tire smoke all over the V-Dub and we were dead even until I was doing 60 and my rear end started getting real loose. I let off the throttle and thought we were all done.
I waved bye as I was getting onto I-55, but he did too. Soon as he got on the interstate he nailed it and blew past a semi. At that point I decided I was done until he slowed down and I caught up to him. He asked what I had "back there". "4:10s" (BTW we are now yelling at each other doing 50 on the interstate.) "No the exhaust." "Stock. Except for the high flow cats and Hooker Headers, I mean Kooks Headers." "Whao sounds good." "What do you have?" "H-Pipe" "Cool wanna give it another run?"
He just looks at me and I hear his 4.6 start to sing and I gave it throttle just in time. This time I hooked up and we were even for maybe a second, but by the time I was doing 80 I was five cars ahead of him. A few semis saw us and cars too. We just did it in our own lanes, didn't go though traffic or anything and it was probably for ten seconds if that.
The guy waved and I said I would see him again. My days of street racing are over, (organized) but I can never resist playing with someone like that.
The guy in the Mustang was near my age too. So all of you "mature" people can actually say "stupid kids" and I don't care. As long as we have the reputation, might as well live it. Snow tires shouldn't be used, but anything above a 40 roll is fine.
It's all fun fun fun until my daddy takes my T-Bird away. :burnout:
