Most Expensive Kill Ever

**35th-ANV-SS** · 08-21-2009, 06:38 PM

So about a month ago now I was out cruising. As I am minding my own business, a red nasty sounding WS6 with a younger guy comes up on me and gets beside me. We are both going about 40 and he punches it and speeds off. I maintain my speed. So he slows down and revs it up and punches it again. Again, I maintain my speed. Usually I wouldn't stray for a second at the opportunity to have some fun, but my car had been running less than desirable and I was out trying to see if cleaning the MAF made it any better.

So at the next light I get the privilege of pulling up right next to this guy. I ask him what he has done. He rattled off some things and I was like cool...nice WS6, sounds good.

So we take off and this fucker revs at me again. So that's it I say to myself. So I get up next to him and we are going about 35MPH and I give him the signal to honk. From a 2nd gear roll we both punch it and I pull on this guy a good amount. We got it up to about 70MPH and then slowed down. He was a good ways behind me.

We get up a ways and he wants to go again, but from a higher speed. So we take off from about 55MPH. I had mine in 3rd and I pulled on him a shit load. This time I took it up to about 90 before I let off.

He rolled next to me and gave me the thumbs up.

He left and as I went to push the clutch in as I was just coasting in 4th, my car was stuck in 4th. Trashed the synchros......

So now the car is getting a tranny upgrade. $1695, but I got the kill....twice!

That sucks, but I hope you have it up and running soon.

Ouch! At least you won... losing would have really increased the suck factor.

When I saw the title I thought of a massive ticket or arrest after the race.......Good Kill

pain is temporary, but pride is forever...or some shit like that.

**35th-ANV-SS** · 08-24-2009, 09:46 AM

Ha, yeah. That saying sounds about right.

4th gear stuck several months ago, but once I got it out, it shifted fine from that point forward until this happened.

I knew it would be just a matter of time.

Just waiting on the car to get back in my hands so I can try to enjoy it while the weather still permits me to.

Pain is temporary, but glory is forever. That is the original quote.

wonder what advantage you had (in modifications) over the WS6 if you were beating him by a lot? Nice kill though. Wish I could put my own kill stories on here

Full mods are in signature, but as far as HP mods, I only have LTs, ORY, exhaust, and a lid.

I think the biggest difference was I have 4.11 gearing through a 9".
