I've had my car for about 1 1/2 yrs. Not totally new to TR's since I owned a stock 86 GN from 86-98. I've had a few kills none of which I thought were too worthy including a Celica GT, Bonneville SSEi, and Gran Prix GTP. My current car is a white/ dark blue 87 T w/LC2 and a definite sleeper as it is a chrome trimmed with wide rockers, cornering lights, heavy padded Landau with T-Tops- appears to be Grandma's Regal. Like a Limited with buckets and console. It has some mild mods including cat back duals, Walbro, cold air package, Thrasher 92, etc. On my way this morning to a business meeting, I encounter a late 70's Jaguar XJ12 4 door sedan with an older driver (appeared in his late 50's). I noted the 12 emblem on the rear end of the car which carried alot of bright chromework. Car was clean and straight and he casually passed in L lane on divided 4 lane road. Up ahead the light caught him and we both pull up to a stop at at the head. As luck would have it, this light is not in a populated part of the county and has a long straight. I really didn't have intentions of running the guy but he pulled out quickly to spur me on from green with me flooring it without building any boost. An we're on... battle of the geezers as I'm 42 myself! I started pulling him immediately and by the time I let off at 90 or so, I had 6-8 car lengths on him. I'll bet he was surprised to say the least to be beat by Grandma's car! He was cool about things as he stayed back and didn't do a fly by. Wonder what he thought as he probably thought about seeing my 3.8 SFI TURBO emblem from when he passed me earlier and when he got another view when I handed him his a**
Yes, in this case 6 does beat 12!
