RE: Stop Light Racer
I couldn't get the link to open either. But now that you mention running a loud car....
I only raced a guy one. A guy in a loud 72' Nova challenged me. He pulled up beside me and looked over and was gunning and gunning his car. My wife asked me if I was gonna bite I said no. She said WHY NOT? I said ok, I will give him 1 car length head start. When the light changed he stomped it when he got 1/2 a length on me my wife said What ya waiting for? So I stomped it. by the time I hit 2nd I pulled even, I hit 3rd I was passing him I hit 4th he was lagging, I hit 5th I was up a good 4 lengths. I saw him flaling his arms and he pulled off..
It was a rush but that was the only time. I get kids in Evo's, STI's and hondas, and stangs baiting me all the time. I scoff it off, with my luck a cop will nail me. The kids with Fart cans and twin fart cans really blow my mind.
I have a neighbor with a new Stang GT. He has the loudest most annoying exhaust on a car I have ever heard. It's all noise. I guess people who put loud exhausts on think they are intimidating others with the noise. I would not let a loud car intimidate me.
