View Full Version : Good spanking for an import

On the way home today, I am sitting at a stop light on an uphill road. An import with turbo 4 banger (not sure whether it was Mitsubishi or Subaru - wasn't paying close attention) takes off wanting to race me. Well, instinct takes over, I catch up with him, look at him and his buddy, go full throttle and pull away. Look on their faces were priceless!

Haha ... Nice ... I had the same thing with one of those new 2 door Dodge power cars ...It was all done up and sounded nasty . I can hear him revving in second gear so I hammer it . The Z just walked away from him ... These cars are to much fun ...

I had a BMW try that with me a few days ago needless to say I think he was surprised. GC
I also had a C7 that tore my lips off on a roll :o

Glad it turned out that way [whew]. Saw "a few" Lancers and Honda 4-bangers with "hair driers" running over 170mph at the last WANNAGOFAST here in Chicagoland :jawdrop:

Played with a 2000ish Trans Am from on a highway roll I got him 3 out of 3 then he came by me like I was stopped, I think he turned on Nitrous! There was too much traffic to let the Z stretch her legs though.

I hear that....there is a twin turbo Supra out here in Phoenix north of 1000hp
I really enjoy all cars and have a Jay Leno philosophy on cars. I just enjoy a daily drive that can still rip the lips off of 80% of the daily driver out there. And who wouldn't want to have a GT40 or a Shelby or a Demon ?
However believe me these cars are getting pretty beefy lately......
Fun times

On a recent outing with the local Corvette club about 30 of us were running down Hwy50 heading east out of Reno. I was in my C6. Most of us were running in the 120-130mph range as a group. Not another car to be seen. One guy in a new C7 Z06 hit 194mph! There long stretches where the road is dead straight with visibility of 5 miles or more. I just love the desert roads out east of here.
