1st Kill:
Yesterday I was cruising on Route 18 and a Scion TC in white with the stickers on the door, triple pod on the pillar and carbon fiber everywhere....but with a front mount. He pulled along side with a very wide smile. He yelled for me to honk it off which I kindly obliged. I throw the car into manual mode to avoid any lag in a downshift, 3 honks @ 40mph and we are off. His car spools fairly quickly and he holds me for a second until the G8 shifts into third gear and I start a nice consistent pull. My car shifts into 4th and I have an easy 4 cars on him and I shut it down. He keeps his foot in it and jumps off the gas so I can here his "oh so cool" blow-off valve.
2nd Kill:
Next I was on Easton Ave with my wife and we had just been making our way back to 287. A Mazdaspeed6 got behind me at a light and I made sure I left the next light a little briskly to give him room to get next to me. Sure enough, the next light turned yellow then red. I hear him downshifting next to me with the clear sign of a BOV and some other mods. The kid looks like a total dweeb with his GF....maybe sister in the car. We sit at the light, I look over and he won't even give me a glance. OK thats fine. Light turns green and I immediately see his car jump so I roll into the throttle to avoid the traction control. The car hooks up beautifully and I floor it. I rip away from him, G8 hits the 1-2 shift and give the Mazdaslow6 a nice bark of the tires as I throw a few more car lengths on him. I assume he couldn't drive his car. He stays behind me until the next light and runs up to block me. I go behind him and of course as the light turns green, black smoke is thrown out the exhaust and I take chase...sure enough I pull to his bumper and let off just to let him know he had no chance.
Fun stuff!
