I was a nice sunny X-mas day in Texas. Driving around to listen to the new stereo system, so I go S-L-O-W to see if I get to listen to all the songs on the MP3 compatible CD player. The car is running the best it ever has and I have the boost "dialed in" at 10PSI.
Anyway, the GF and I are driving around in the nice weather, minding our own, cranking some tunes.
We end up at a light, 4 lanes wide and what do we have here? A Mustang GT on the left, a Mitsibushi 3000GT on the right. The 3000GT looks a few times over and starts reving his engine. I look over and laugh as in “Are you crazy?”. The mustang hears the 3000GT reving and starts as well. BOTH start reving their engine at the same time looking at me. I smile and shake my head as in a very surprised “Oh no” kind of way. I am however thinking; “Two kills at one time”?
Since I “used to race” when I was much younger, my adrenaline starts to flow, but I am MUCH older and wiser now (No really). In addition, my 10PSI HA is no match for these guys.
The GF is sitting there and talking smack to both of them, with hand signals like; "You want a piece of this"? ........ the light jumps to green. Unsure of myself and the car, I take off “grandpa style” with no intentions to run, but what do you know? The 3000GT takes off and I hear his tires squeal across the “white painted stripes” on the road. The mustang follows! DARN! When my front bumper is at the back bumper of the 3000GT, my “youth thinking” takes over. I nail it from about 5 mph, "win or loose". I am Thinking; "I am not going to make this one" as my heart is pumping “peanut butter”.
By the end of the first gear, my bumper is at the 3000GT’s door. The mustang is 2 cars back. The car shifts into second and we are even. I start walking him for about 1½ car length and slow down with my brakes as I realize at this time I am going a bit too fast for my own health and taste.
The 3000GT comes up next to me and gives me a “Thumbs up” (I think he thought the car was and IC’d car ……… LOL!!!). The Mustang does a “fly by” and (according to the GF) has this P**** off look on his face! He takes off, turns left, never to be seen again.
I have to be honest, I never thought I had a chance against either one, with 2 people in the GN, a full tank of gas and 10 PSI boost. I guess I am starting to understand the power of the dark side.

That thing is pretty damn clean looking.
her off!) . While noting his sarcasm, she notices the window sticker (new GT). So she signals the "dude"....... “Ok, you are on” (Win or loose she thinks). Interestingly enough, this week I was explaining the Power brake technique.
