Myself and katz had a similar, but not quite as exciting time tonight. We raced a Lamborghini Gallardo. He won, but it wasn't a fair fight in my opinion. See, we were buying Katz a new computer, and the guy got the jump on us walking out of the store. Once we saw him get into the 'G, we sped up to get in the 69, trying to catch him. Alas, he made the light, we didn't (darned race harnesses). Those cars are *that* nice.
Did get a nice response a few minutes later though? On a double wide road, finally got a bit of room, so I took the car from 4k RPM to rev limiter (I have no speedo, and darned I need to move rev limiter from the 6800 RPM for the previous motor to the 7400 RPM for the current). Third gear, TREMEC TKO, 3.90:1 rear gear (anyone care to tell me how fast I was going? 315/40/17 rear tire). At the next light, a guy that we whizzed past was hanging out the window saying that the car was just amazing, and other ego-stroking comments, he was completely stoked. Completely. Made me feel really good to give someone else the stoke factor, maybe he'll build his own car?
Oooooh-myyy-gooooodnessssss. I love this stuff.
