This is where i'll update the kill list for my turbo Metro. I do not street race past the posted speed limit and most of the races are from 30 pulls on, or getting onto the interstate late at night. There are rare exceptions to not being on the interstate but those are usually only 1-2 gear pulls. So here is the kill story from last night: - A friend and i were driving around late last night looking for people to mess with. Well, after about an hour we came across a newer yellow Cavalier with a fart can and stickers hanging out in a parking lot. While we were passing by, an early 90s Eclipse pulled in. It was typically riced out, two tone/fart can/wheels/and stickers. So i immediately turn around. When i turn around they take off with all their fart can fury. So we catch up to the Eclipse at a red light(the cavvy was behind him). We look over and rev up at the guy. He laughs and revs back. So we are waiting for the light to turn and finally it does. We both floor it off and line and were even, before the turbo spools. Then i was GONE. I immediately put 2.5 cars on him by 45 and got out of it. Apparently he wasn't too happy and did the typical ricer flyby with the Cavvy following suit. For some odd reason he wouldn't let us catch back up and go again...

Me and the wife play around every now and again in our lil' geo's. My '88 has a little more low end than her '98, but the '98 has lots more top end. If she sees me coming up fast from behind, she'll drop a few gears and embarrass me. But if I catch her stopped, I can slip right by her. The '88 shifts quicker than the '98, guess its just wore out though. Other stories: My '87 IROC 305 TPI, I surprised a '94 LT1 at a stop light one night. The TPI has more bottom end torque than them LT1's and I left him sitting for about 90'. Of course the supremacy of the 350 took over then. My lil' 305 has always pulled 1.9s 60 foot's at the track on street tires. Another night, did a 30 mph kick on the 4 lane against a '02ish 4.3L S-10. I may have pulled a couple inches on him, but we was pretty even. Them lil' 4.3's are strong. |

I put the 12s back on last night to have some fun. So far i'm 2-0 against Eclipses. Destroyed one last night (imagine Fast and Furious Eclipse, but orange). I also killed a late 90s Protoge' DOHC 5speed, from 0-45, then we both quit. I was trying to race an 04 Civic SI(looks like a minivan) but the guy backed out at the last second. I think i would have taken him, as he had a passenger. I am going to lie low for awhile until i get the new clutch and turn the boost up. |
