Today at lunch a older guy in a green ford windstar pulled up on my right side and started honking at me and asking me to race him. At 1st i just laughed it off, but this guy was serious. I figured 0-75 or 80 and let off, It would feel good to blow a little steam off and no one was around. I usually punch it hard down this strech of road anyway. it is a one way street with the 1st intersection about a 1/2 mile down on the left that i turn into work at. the light changed I got a very good launch, so did he. It quickly became apparent I had been duped. the rear wheels spun, the distinct whine of a supercharger and roar only a V-8 can make were heard. and I saw nothing but green mini van outright smoking me. 2 1/2- 3 cars by time i was at the top of 2nd gear (60 mph). I made my left turn into work humbled by an old man in a mini van.

hey at least you lost......
I've gotten to the point where I've been challenged to race in my mom's Subaru Outback (automatic....) eight or so times in the last couple months, while my car's been in the driveway, and I've always won.... it's pissing me off.
Honestly... if they can't win to an automatic car with 166 hp and 3500 pounds of weight, what the hell are they gonna do against my car once I'm finished working on it?
Arrrgg.... Massachusetts sucks, and don't even get me started about the local ricers.Ask me about engine management!

lol, vans rule sometimes. My friend works at a bike shop, and they have one of those 2.4L turbo pos vans. Since they use it for transporting bikes, they gutted it from the drivers seats all the way back to the doors in rear for max cargo space.
Its hilarious b/c I have seen that thing beat out 350z's first hand Trust me that guy was pissed in that 350z.
