Re: Most embarrassing "i got killed" stories
 
well my first story was with my stock hatch and some old lady in a camery v6 i cut her off down the road so we are floating down the road at like 55 60 and then we get to a light and shes laughin and i just rev at her( with no muffler mind you ) and the light turns green we punch it she spins them and bounced on me it was funny.

next one sucks ive only told two people about this. and now you guys but i was leaving my job and i see my boy in a newish rental neon and he was like were bout to hop on the concetor(local race spot. little streach of highway nice for 1/4 -full mile) lets run it to the brindge(1mi) im like lets do so i beep beep beep it and i jump ahead of him and keep gaining distance between us. get it in to 4th gear and its a cvic dx so my 5th is pointless for exeleration so im just winding it out and all of a sudden he wized past me at like 100 and then i hit redline in 4th at 118 and he was still ahead of me. it sucked got beat by a stock neon and it was an auto.

About 5 years ago at the street races in lancaster in so cal. Me bein me was gonna show off a little so I found the large group of people at the start and rolled by and dropped the clutch hard. 90 hatch/sohc vtec swap/65 shot and a fully built top end car ran 13.20's at LACr all day long. Well missed 3 rd 3 times very bad and when I drove back people were just pointing and lauging. Good times

about a week into having a B18C1 in my hatch, I was still learning how to drive it, and was still learning to drive too (had liscence for under a year)

i see a ------ gold STI next to me on the freeway, it almost like he spotted me and wanted my blood. he comes up next to me and stays with me, so i figure what the hell, i let off the gas in 5th gear to put some distance between us and the people in front of us. he stays with me.

slow down to about 20mph, slam it into 2nd (coulda gone to 1st, but wasn't even used to a 8K redline lol) and floor it, he stays with me for about a second then i hear the BOV and i think "wtf?", then i hear the turbo spoolin as he pulls away like I wasn't even moving :S

i got owned :3

I had a fully built datsun 510 race car, cage, dual sidedrafts, huge comp, cam, slicks suspension, fiberglass hood doors the works, ran on av. gas no head lights just brake lights, no charging system like I said it was a road race car. I pulled up beside a caravan full of kids and two parents. Not that my car was set up for quarter mile but I got smoked by a turbo caravan not at one light but two in a row and everyone was laughing so hard in the van. :P

I was just a passenger for this one, happened about 5 years ago. My bro and I were rollin' in his '94 mustang GT, pretty hot car, not a lot done to it, but one of those factory freaks ya know? just plain fast.... must have been built on a wed.

anyway it's late at night, streets pretty deserted and we're sitting at a stop light and this '78 firebird pulls up next to us, gives us a little rev, sounds decent but we're like "whoopdidoo basil..." anyway light turns green and my brother, who is by far the best driver I know, goes throught the first two gears, but I'm not paying attention, all I can hear is this freaking beast of a motor owning us. He walked us like we were standing still- I've never been beaten that soundly in my life. We pulled into a gas station after him and found out he was running a built 440 with some built auto tranny. Definitely one of the best sounding motors I've ever heard, then and since....

one night i was on my way home from work and i see like an old 91 hatch zoom by me.......he gets to the red light and i pull up next to him and with my tight bling bling 99 front end conversion on my otherwise stock d16z6 eg i thought i'd own him with my vtak especially since i saw that he had a passenger with him too. I thought to myself....foolish white boys, ur about to get owned by rice-power. So he revs i rev and he asks me what i have under the hood.....i tell him stock and he just laughs and rolls up his window. The light turns green and i'm halfway into the intersection and he's like aaaaaaaallllll the way down halfway to the next intersection and i'm like wtf pwnd. i roll up to him tail between legs and he said he has a fully built b20 that he built himself.
