FF>SA>So today I'm stopped at a light, listening to the stereo way to loud
FF>SA>when all of a sudden I see up on the right of me a Nova.  So I'm
FF>SA>thinking, "Well, sounds like a 350.  Probably has a lot more power than
FF>SA>I do."  Only thing is that his lane ended in about 100 feet.  So light
FF>SA>goes orange for traffic crossing us, then red... Our light goes green
FF>SA>and BAM I drop the clutch at 6000 RPM.  I can hear his tires light up
FF>SA>and his engine just screaming.  He had a lot more power,  but couldn't
FF>SA>beat me for the first 100 feet.  Nearly, but noit quite.  So he pulls in
FF>SA>behind me and I slow down to around 60KM as we enter a hard, almost 90
FF>SA>degrtee right hand corner on to a highway entrance ... Well,  I come
FF>SA>around the corner at 90 Km per hour, tires all screaming, 7000 RPM, 12
FF>SA>pounds of boost.  All my tires are loose and I'm just sliding... I think
FF>SA>to myself "no problem" and keep m foot to the floor.  RPM's are almost
FF>SA>1000 in to Red line and cliimbing when the traction control finally goes
FF>SA>to work and the tires all hook up again... Shift in to third gear and up
FF>SA>to 100 MPH in a blink... Guess what... No Nova in sight.
FF>SA>After all of this I could only think of one thing,  while laughing to
FF>SA>myself,  "Gee I'm glad I didn't get an Integra."
FF>SA>8)
FF>SA>Saradon
FF>SA>p.s.  garfield, do't try that in your MX-6 ... (Just teasing) 8)
