i was on the way to my parents house late last night, when i noticed the unmistakeable taillights of a GN about 3 cars ahead of me in traffic. i had just gotten the vette back on the road and wanted a little action, so i started pulling a ricer move and began weaving through traffic to catch up to this guy. finally i got door to door with him, and gave him a few revs. he responded with a few of his own, but we still couldnt do anything yet because of the traffic. so we both began to try to get ahead of the traffic situatuion, and i actually ended up in front of him. well he started riding my ass and revving, so i punched it and pulled away from him pretty good (my 700R4 actually did something right and downshifted into 2nd instead of 3rd). we got door to door on the open road when the light ahead of us turned red. i lined up with the GN, and the driver rolls down his window and asks "well, do you wanna go?". "Sure" i said... of course i wanted to go. I proceeded to do my burnout,when the light turned green. he took off while i was trying to stop my tires from spinning. in a vain effort to catch up, i floored it, but i was wasting my time. he already had a 4 car lead on me, and there was no way i could close that gap. Just then, a eclipse turned out in front of him. by this point, the road had opened up from 2 lanes to 3, and the GN dove for the far right lane and pulled right next to the import. the eclipse took off and the Buick waited a few seconds, toying with him. after the ricer had a few lengths on him, the GN floored it and passed the eclipse like he was standing still. even though i lost (mostly because i was still in the middle of my burnout when the light turned green, but the Grand National probably would have beaten me anyway), it was still a cool race. This was my first GN encounter, and it was cool watching him spank that ricer!
