..... but had a helluva time doing it. (this happened 20 minutes ago)
So I was bored this evening and took the R/T for a spin. I was driving downtown and this turbo car comes out of now where and goes a length ahead of me and slows down. I look over it's a Subaru WRX (I don't think it was an STi). The car was modded though, from what I could hear it had to have had a bigger turbo and maybe an upgraded tranny. I've never heard a turbo shift this loud, and I test drove an STi. Of course, it was a punk college kid, but I was in the mood. We come up to a light and he was behind me, I floor it and so does he and I have the lead on him. Okay, R/T 1- WRX 0.
We come up to another light this time he's on my left. He gets his rpm's up, I'm just kinda getting ready not revving or anything. The light turns and we both floor it. we are side-by-side, I get a crappy shift into 2nd and he's in third by now. When I missed the shift he jumped to half a car. When he hit 4th I was going into 3rd and he was a little over 3/4 length. We are coming up on traffic in his lane and I had a clear shot I left off a little bit and the numb nuts swerves into my lane, I slam on the brakes and he keeps going. Well at about that time I see the red and blue lights in my rear view, he's slamming on the brakes and jumping into a side street, I smell burnt brakes and everything. By this time, I'm thinking ****, but the cop goes after him!! THANK YOU GOD!! The funny thing is, I knew cops sit on that stretch of road, but I haven't seen them there in months and my radar detector always picked them up, but not tonight... kind of odd. So I was finally dealt my first loss tonight.
Now before all the everyone starts complaining about being wreckless, I vary rarely go like this on the street, I did one time and I was letting out of it when the punk was getting into it faster. When I see traffic, I let off and end it. I do not race unless the coast is clear and there is nobody around.
