I don't like posting into this section of the forum as I don't condone street racing - too many kids die - but this is an unusual one and I want to share. Story is like this.
Today, I was going to pick up a DVD from the local video store with my brother. I was on a 2 laned road turning onto another 2 laned road (both big wide roads) through a long sweeping single lane turn with a yield at the end of it. Half way through the turn I check my rearview and there's this black with white stripes RT10 (the hardtop is the RT10 right?) Viper, right on my tail. He can't pass me through the turn as it is single lane and I shoulder check at the yield sign and no traffic - this makes the street I am turning onto an empty stretch until a street light further up ahead. Seeing how this guy is on my tail, as I make it onto the two laned road, I lean on it (not floored - but close) and I gain on this Viper. I guess that is all he needed. All I hear is a roar (those things are loud at WOT), he downshifts and pulls up on the lane next to me. I lean further into it and shift out of first ... but by this time, the viper is making good progress. Slowed down at 6k in 2nd (about 90 km/h) and so did he, but this time he was 2 cars in front of me. Hehe, I guess the GTX is no match for a Viper - but I think he was impressed by what the little Escort did and decided to give me a show
