Not surprising that I pulled on him, just surprising that I pulled so hard.
I was just headed to the movie theater with the girlfriend in the car, and a 300C with SRT-8 badges pulls up next to me. I'd like to say it had exhaust, because it was rather loud, but I don't know what they've got stock... none the less, I glanced over at him, but wasn't trying to pick a fight, and then he starts jumping on it, then nailing the brakes, so eventually I give him a little confirmation rev, and when the light turns green, I used my head and babied it. He nailed it and spun, but pulled a car or so, and right at the top of 1st, I dropped the throttle. Zooooom. :flex: It made me smile. I know the height of these tires is slowing me down, but man it's nice being able to really get on it in first gear with no tire prep! I slowed down thinking he'd catch up and we'd go again from a higher roll, but he just pulled the ol' fly by, and I wasn't going to go chase down what I just dominated. I didn't think too much of it, other than that I just embarrassed some kid whose parents bought him a 40k car, but then I looked up the specs, and they're supposed to be good for mid 12s stock. Granted I don't race enough cars that I know they're est. 1/4s, but I would'nt have suspected that an 11 sec car would pull so hard on a 12 sec car... silly me I guess.
Too bad I didn't have the bottle in the car...
