So today I'm stopped at a light, listening to the stereo way to loud
when all of a sudden I see up on the right of me a Nova. So I'm
thinking, "Well, sounds like a 350. Probably has a lot more power than
I do." Only thing is that his lane ended in about 100 feet. So light
goes orange for traffic crossing us, then red... Our light goes green
and BAM I drop the clutch at 6000 RPM. I can hear his tires light up
and his engine just screaming. He had a lot more power, but couldn't
beat me for the first 100 feet. Nearly, but noit quite. So he pulls in
behind me and I slow down to around 60KM as we enter a hard, almost 90
degrtee right hand corner on to a highway entrance ... Well, I come
around the corner at 90 Km per hour, tires all screaming, 7000 RPM, 12
pounds of boost. All my tires are loose and I'm just sliding... I think
to myself "no problem" and keep m foot to the floor. RPM's are almost
1000 in to Red line and cliimbing when the traction control finally goes
to work and the tires all hook up again... Shift in to third gear and up
to 100 MPH in a blink... Guess what... No Nova in sight.
After all of this I could only think of one thing, while laughing to
myself, "Gee I'm glad I didn't get an Integra."
