I'm not a big fan of street racing as it is very dangerous and illegal, but ever since one of my employee's bought a new Mustang GT (2002), he has been bugging me to run him with my GN.
He has done the usual mods to his GT such as catback exhaust, chip, cold air intake, pulleys and more. I have ridden in his car and I must say that it pulls hard and is pretty quick.
After work tonight, he waited for me in the parking lot and "revved" his engine as I approached my car. I thought about it for a second and said what the heck! I proceded out of the parking lot with him following. We got to the end of the street and waited tilll there were no cars around. I made a right turn and waited for him to pull up next to me. As we were rolling side by side at idle, I heard his engine rev up so I started to brake boost. As soon as he dumped his clutch, I got on the throttle and I could hear his tires light up. My BFG were struggling to find traction and we both hooked up at the same time. I started to slowly pull away from him and I heard him shift. Just then my car shifted into second gear and I had at least a car length on him. Since we were rapidly nearing the next intersection, we both let off and slowed to a stop. As he caught up to me, he gave me a big thumbs up and smiled.
We got onto the highway to start heading home and this time he was in front of me. We cruised up to 40-45 mph and I saw him get on it so I did too. Almost immediately I was glued to his rear bumper and had to feather the throttle to keep from running over him. Since traffic was low, we decided to go for it one last time. This time we were side by side doing around 55 mph. I let him go first and as soon as he did I punched it. He pulled about a car length on me but as soon the turbo spooled up, I was blowing by him. This time I stayed in it until I was over 100 mph before I let off. It took him a few seconds or so to catch up but when he did he had this big grin on his face and yelled out..."damn that thing is fast!!! When you went by me, all I heard was a big whoosh!!"
I sure wish the racing season will start soon as that was just too much fun. As I mentioned at the start of this post, I am not a big fan of street racing and I hope I don't make this a habit....
