BAHAHAHA

From a rolling start I was beaten by a 70's Volvo sedan that was belching smoke... sounded like the engine was about to blow up he was revving it so much; and by an old corolla, or maybe it was an old rx3, whatever it was, the engine definitely sounded more than slightly tweaked.

And technically beaten by a girl in an Excel... I kept beating her to the speed limit (80km, less than a car length in it though), but then she did a loser flyby each time I eased off let her go in the end, no point having 2 idiots on the same bit of road at the same time Her car was definitely modded too.

Lol wow...

Well the Excel definitely takes the cake! Those things have about 60kws stock =/ did it go PSSHH or Sututu ?

OK this is my most humilating mechenical mishap was in my 36ft leyland bus, we bought it to travel around Australia. It had a 680 cubic inch / 11.1 litre deisel engine and a two speed auto transmission. I hadn't had much experience with automatics before and a thousand k's into the journey I put my foot to the floor at 80k's to speed up for a hill climb... I had never heard of a kick back transmission and got a shock when it dropped to first gear and roared like a B52 bomber. When my wife came up the front in a panic saying 'what the hell did you do?' I promptly demonstrated for her causing the B52 roar to return and follow through with a huge BANG, then bang bang bang bang... I'd MASHED the engine, Pistons pounded the valve steams to oblivion... The 2nd day of our round Australia trip and it was all over!

My biggest fail - thinking my GR could keep up with a GPX

Yesterday, by a SKODA!!

I dont know if you have these east european shopping carts in Oz but after coming off a roundabout and flooring it to pass some cars this wee thing kept on my tail until I pulled over to let him pass

But then again, a diesel one beat my mates Sierra Cosworth on the motorway last year and he couldn't catch it until he was pushing 130 MPH

You can win if the GPX is auto (tip), manual no chance.

F%^k you guys are homo's My GR will destroy both of you, you pansies

And subbie how the ghell would you know. You never street race or take your car over 6k

Lol no sh*t faggot ours isn't turbo!

And when I first got my car I did a couple of times. I've put this on here before but we were at the lights and some guy in a white GPX was talking to me (wasn't being a dikhead). The lights were gonna go green and he asked if I we could see how the cars fair against each other since his was auto and I was manual. We stepped on it upto 80, at the end of it I was almost a full car's length ahead.

Apart from this, the other 2 cars I've ever raced was a Lancer full of retards yelling sh*t out the window and a CRX that kept taunting me. This was all spread out over a few months after I got my car, never raced anybody after going to my first cruise - It was a real eye opener about how street racing means nothing

wow your my idol man

im starting to think street racing means nothing too ... not worth risking getting your car looking like olliez
WSID is the place yo!

Starting to think? Good lord...

WSID is the place. Not only a safety conscious environment, but accurately timed. So you don't have to BS us all by saying "My Krispy Creame doughnut fell in my lap when I was trying to hit 3rd" and such.
