Friday night I was out with my wife and a friend at the movies. As we were leaving we saw/ heard a pretty beefy sounding fox body sporting a window sticker for a well known local Ford performance place. I've been going easy on the car since my ignition system has ben breaking up around 5000 RPMs lately (Opti), but I got a wild hair and followed him out of the parking lot.
I pulled in behind him at a left turn onto a 3 lane main road. The light turned green and he turned into the left lane and floored it. I turned out into the middle lane and followed suit. He started out with about a car length on me, but I was reeling him in pretty fast. Right when my nose gets to his door he HITS THE BRAKES and I sail past him. There's still about 1/8-1/4 mile to the next light. I back off and meet him at the light. He's got a guy in the passenger seat. I tell him his car sounds pretty good, and he says "Yeah, it goes alright."
Light turns green and I motion to give him the jump. He takes it and I hit the gas when he's about halfway through the intersection. Here I come, short shifting as I go. :o This time I get to his front fender before he shuts it down again with plenty of road still left. WTF? At least let me have my win before you give up. :mad:
Pretty stupid I know, but it kinda torqued me anyway.
