thewheelman Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Had my first "real" challenge last evening. On the way home from work a Mitsu Evo pulled up on my 1/4 and hung there for a while. I had spotted him at an intersection earlier and he worked hard through traffic to get to me. We were doing, maybe 50, and he kept easing up and backing off, so about the 3rd time I banged it down into 3rd and nailed it. Fun....blew by and drove away and could see he was pedaling pretty hard too. Long sweeping corner came up and I backed off, he shot by then backed off too. Coming out of the corner we got on it hard again and he tried to use traffic as a pick, but I easily cleared the slower car in my lane and slipped by. That was the only car on the road for about 3.5 miles--4 lane. We had fun, both backed off to about 80 and at the next intersection he gives me a wave out of the sunroof, turns left and I turn right. Last Saturday night I ducking in and out around a local mall (Easter shopping stuff) when I wound up in the middle of a fast and furious episode. A Civic in mostly primer and wings goes by on the right and a Cobalt SS slides by on the left. Red light caught them ahead of us and they were so busy revving up their engines that they didn't even notice me until I slow-rolled up just as it turned green. They gassed it and took off, so did I and blew by between both of them. It was a hoot to see the expression on the Civic driver's face. I had to back off quickly because of this weird screaming noise from my GT 500--specifically the passenger seat....my wife was with me and I just couldn't resist! Also, got a good look at a couple of Challengers in the last day or two. The Ruby Red is a beautiful, rich color. I haven’t been able to park the GT 500 beside one yet to compare them, but it looks like a bigger car until you get up on it. Very nice lines, but those mirrors! I know they’re retro cool, but look like antennas on a insect! Ok, thanks for letting me ramble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
