actually, there was this kid from my work who bought a Talon, without the turbo or AWD, and he just couldnt stop bragging about how damn fast and how many races he wins every weekend.

I am not a person who races my car, or even thinks it is capable of winning anything... But to finally shut his face up about this talon being the fastest thing on 4 wheels, I raced him from a light after work one day...

it blew my mind, but by the next light, I had multiple car lengths between me and him (myself being in front), and I kinda laughed and drove home. I heckled him at work for the next week, and so did pretty much everyone at the shop. He said he lost because his transmission wasnt in "power mode"... :-)

I never gave him the opportunity to win his title back after that...

Smoked a Firebird once.... off the line anyway. he probably just had a V6... it's a good thing the next light was red because he was catching up! :lol:

my car probably has two or three times more torque than horsepower :lol: Good for short distance races, (very short) also good for towing a trailer full of boulders up the side of a mountain. :laughing: but not high speed racing!

That time with the Firebird was an isolated incident, haha... I usually don't race my car. not only because I hate beating on my car but I don't need to get caught doing anyting stupid if I can help it!

anyone know that older movie: The long, long trailer? I was just reading my last post and thought of that. I haven't seen it in a long time but I remember it is pretty hilarious.
