Last night I'm buzzing around town after grocery shopping and I hit a set of red lights... Some Grand AM GT pulls up beside me and starts revving his engine. I drive a Nissan Sentra Spec V with a couple bolt ons. Light turns I out launch the hell out of him, have about 1/2 car length when pedestrians decide to jaywalk.... I slow down, dumb ass beside me guns it nearly hits the pedestrians... but he thinks he's won as he gives me the thumb up out his window.... Thankfully the next set of lights turn red as we pull up. I look over and the dude smirks at me like he thinks he's the shit.... Light goes green again.... Outlaunch him for a second time! Then proceed to put many car lengths on him... He pulls in behind me and I give him the the ol devil horns out the sunroof and I can see him swearing something at me in my rearview mirror! haha what a nob...

That reminds me of a race I had in my S10.
This guy pulls up next to me in this Full size dodge. Keep in mind, I don't like dodge trucks, but this thing looked pretty sharp. New exaust, smoked out windows, all black and chrome. So when he reved it up, I though what the heck. I have a little bit of tweaking done too.
So the light turns green and we both drop it. He pulls me a little off the line, and as soon as I hit 3 grand I pull back up even. We hit second and same thing. He pulls me a little I hit 3 grand and pull even. So naturally I assumed the the same thing will happen in third. WRONG. I hit about 3 grand and start to leave him. The race ends a few seconds later and I am doing right under 100, and have him by about 4 cars.
So we hit the next light and I pull up next to him to say whats up, nice race. Well thats when I realize he has his girl with him. So this big bad guy, in his big bad dodge just got spanked by a lowered S10 (in front of his girl).
Yeah he wasn't very happy. Wouldn't roll down the window, wouldn't talk to me. Started smoking his tires showing off. So I just went my own way.
But it still brings a smile to my face.

This reminds me of a race I recently had against a 1989 Geo Metro with my Ranger.
I dumped the clutch and saw a small puff of white smoke, looked in my right rearview and questioned whether it came from the tire or tailpipe. As I turned my head around, I looked into my left mirror and saw that the Geo was inching toward me. I double clutched and hit second, then we hit a steep curve as both vehicles passed 30mph. Double clutched again and hit third. Redlined, threw it in neutral and pumped the clutch a couple of times since my slave cylinder is leaking a bit, then I hit fourth. Past 55mph all he can see is the rusted trailer hitch that some guy welded on a while back and the faded vinyl Ford lettering on the tailgate. It was sweet. Close race, but his 3 cylinders are no match for the almighty 2.3L lima and it's 80hp

HAHAHA...all great stories. I love hearing stories of lifted, Full size diesel pickups killing import boys. Saw a video once (cant find it) of a duramax, 4 door, short box, diesel smoking both a wrx and an srt-4 off the line (heavily modded, of course). Sure, they dont have much for top speed, but they sure can get there quick with a ton of mods!!!
In the most recent Diesel Power, i think there's a guy with a 2002 GMC Sierra. Looks bone stock but he's putting over 1000 hp and 1700 lb. ft. to the rear wheels!!!

Here's a link to the banks site. http://www.bankspower.com/sidewinder.cfm And it wasnt an HD, it was a dakota w. a cummins transplant. Still, quite an achievement for a diesel!
