As a rule, I usually bite off more than I can chew.
Anyway a silver trans am had half it's car length ahead at the light. In the driver seat, I could see a young girl's arm. Her right arm all the way over to the top left of the wheel. Strange. I kept joking that she was getting ready to swing a hard right. Watch me slam dance this firebird I said. Alot of times, I can beat a v6 to the next light if I can get off the line faster. It wasn't a v6. The light changed and I lunged forward, right beside her....where I manage to hold on for most of a second. But, I must say, I expect ted a worst beating than that. It was obviously automatic- her hand stayed on the wheel. She walked away. I expected to look like I was sitting still. As she passed me by two or three carlengths, a car turned real quick from in front of her, so I put the brakes pretty good and let her swerve away from what could of been a wreck. There was noo squealing tires or anything, but I'm not to confident in camaro/trans am braking-from what I've seen. Now my 3700lb(with no people in it) car can stop on a dime in the pouring rain. But anyway, it was fun to race one of the big game. The only oter vehicle that could be compared, and I may be wrong, was a Mercedes 190E that I raced on the highway. He won. Well on the bright side, I've beaten a monte carlo ss, an early 80s pontiac pariasenne or whatever, newer chevy truck, older one, a 95 grand am quad 4 ho, numerous hondas and mazdas, old crappy nissans and toyotas, a new ranger 4x4, and old 80s trans am, an 80s thunderbird, 4 or 5 s10s new and old, a 90s dodge spirit, a saturn, and a 2 different year caravans or voyagers, well I don't have a great memory. Only a few losses tho- the same 95 grand am ho, the trans am in this post, a last year chevy caprice, and a mercedes 190E. Ther may be more of both, but this post is long enuf. By the way, I may be able to identify what year trans am that was. Are the rear lights different now. I did get a good look at those.

Looking at your kills it amazes me what people will use as a racecar. What has the world come too.

Abel Kane

Well in my opinion, the line between luxury and muscle/sport is a fine line. Therefore, Cadillacs and Licolns and their cheap counterparts, such as LTDS, Caprices, are good to run. I can admit where I stand though. S10s and minivans are the main things that hunt me. You people don't have to put up with that. Do you?

Abel Kane

Oh and I know all about those 3.8s. I got a pontiac mag where a guys buick powered ta is running 12s.

Actually, TBI people probably are good to race S10s and Minivans rather than anything faster. If a TBI person tried to race a 90s T/A as well, they would get smoked, bad.

It's cool though, race whatever, if you win you win, if you lose you lose, BIG DEAL.

I know that! I just said 12 because that's probably the max potential of my cars. I won't mention that they can drop several more seconds. Well, I just did.

Tbi is like a very modest 2bbl. When I get the Cutlass, after he's finished, I may get him to work on the LTD for me. 4bbl time then. Then I'll be shooting for 10...miles per gallon.

I've actually raced a sonoma (almost same as s10) 4.3 open element,5 speed, big cooper cobras(not sure what size) and heddmen cat-back. I pulled about 1, 2 car lengths on him off the light, and even pulled away from him doing 65 when I hit 100 he was far behind. I think he stopped trying around 75 80.
