I'll tell you I was surprised.
On the way home from the ladies house and I get up to a light. There's a red 4 door Saturn, think nothing of it. I look over and this kids staring at me. It's packed with 4 teenage kids. Before the light turns the kid throws it in neutral and revs it. :rolleyes: I wasn't going to race, so I waited the green light a sec for him to go. They sat there and looked over, so I slowly started moving. The Saturn squeels it, alright then, I floor it. My front's at his rear, I slowly pull up next to him by about 40 then have him by about a car at 80 and shut down. He keeps flying to the next light. It had more balls then I expected.
We hit another light. I give him a thumbs up and the kid smiles. I throw overdrive off (it helps a bit) and floor it as soon as the light goes. I hear him downshift into first (why? I dunno) and I instantly pull. I shut down at about 80 again and have him by about 2 cars this time. Next light, I pull up beside him.
Me "What's that got in it?"
Him "It has the v6. Is that a stick shift?"
Me "Nah, it's an automatic. Well, my cars not fast. It looks faster then it is."
Him "What do you got done to it?"
Me "Just a few things."
Him "Best 2 out of 3. I tried to shift from 1st the second time. Plus I have 4 people in the car. We'll have to hit another light."
Me *thinking* I just beat you twice. :crazy: "Uhh.. I'm getting on the freeway though."
Him "Ok. We'll see what happens on the freeway."
Me :shrug:
Get on the freeway and he pulls up next to me at 70. He just points forward and I see him mouth "go." I hear him floor it and do the same. My coug SUCKS at 70 and just bogs and he starts pulling. Whatever, I just let off after like a second, flash my brights adios, and get off my exit. I should've ran him from a 40 roll, but I was already paranoid about the whole racing thing. Though it was extremely nice out, clear, and there was no traffic.
Anyway. It doesn't happen often. So I thought I'd post. Apparently the car has a 3.0L with 182hp and 190lbs tq. Not bad I must say, though he did have 4 people, I got some heavy stereo equipment on top of the tub of lard the cougar is. A Saturns all plastic anyway! :rofl:
Edit* Looked up a few more stats. They have a curb weight of 2910lbs!!! My car easily has a few hunder pounds on top of that. So weight wise it was pretty even. The kids weren't very big.
