My car is slow!!!
I'll try to keep this short...
Me and my friend both have "fun cars" and then a Daily Driver. My fun car being my Malibu, his being a 71 Nova (beautiful car, almost done with the new engine). Then, for Daily Drivers I have my Pt Cruiser and he has a 96 Grand-am that was bought a year ago with low miles and in good shape. The Grand-am has a 150hp 155lb-tq 2.4L, but it weighs less at 2,950lbs (Both are Atuomatics)
Anyways, we always joke around about who has the better car. We Bench race about our old cars, and since I got my Cruiser we now joke around about our Daily Drivers.
To make a long story short He drops me off at home and tells me to meet him at this school. The school is in the neighborhood with a big strip that goes around the parking lot (straight). At first I asked why and he wanted to race. So I go inside, grab the keys, and meet him there.
We line up and with out windows down he says "1...2...3!!" and he stomp on the gas from a role (no burnouts or good launching) We took it to about 40mph where he had me by about 1 car length.
Oh well, it was a fun thing we did, wasn't really a all-out race. Besides, these were just our Daily Drivers, and not our pride and joys. We didn't go too fast or do anything reckless. While I think overall that true street racing is stupid, this wasn't a all-out race, just a quick sprint to 40mph on a desseted strip of pavement.
