almost lost to a Cherokee?!

[stepchow]

Yeah, I know.....kinda embarassing actually. We were at a red light and his lane cuts off about half a km ahead. I take off at normal speed then I see him lurch forward. So I feather the clutch in first gear and pull about half a carlength ahead. Shift to 2nd and then see him inching forward! My friend was like, "Holy cow! He's catching up!". That's when I reached for my nitrous button and then I remembered I didn't turn the valve on (damn!). But thank god when I shifted to 3rd I started to pull away. So yes, I beat him.....but dang, not by much! Definately thought I would've pulled more. Kinda disappointed actually. It was the Cherokee with a 4.0litre inline 6 with 190hp. Oh well.....gotta remember to watch out for them next time! hehe. And yes, there was no traffic around.

Omg, you think that is bad? This was probably the most embarassing night of my life! I'm cruising down the local town strip, of course I have to race every truck known to man because the hicks here believe their trucks are "faster then shiat", So I stop at a red light and a hardly davidson F-150 rolls slowly by as the light turns green and then floors it so I drop the clutch and catch up to him and slowly pull ahead of him (those things are pretty quick!) and he chickens out. next thing I know this little saturn comes up behind me packed with people and is like "hey wanna run 'em?" so I think sure I've easy beaten several saturns. We go to drop off the people in his car and next thing I know we're back on this little deserted back road with about 20 spectators parked in the factory parking lot next to the road. We line up and he counts to three and I take off from only 2k rpm and get about a carlength on him and I miss 3rd gear! ARGH and of course he gets past me but barely, so it was decided I'd won but man how embarassing! Then we go back to the factory parking lot and this guy in a teal, TEAL mind you, z24 cavalier wants to run them. Of course I know I can beat this, I could beat them in my busted 89 shadow. So we line up and we go, but apparently water that was on my shoe made my foot slip off the gas so I nearly kill it! He then gets a carlength on me but for some reason I can never catch up. I nearly shot myself. z24's aren't that fast, are they? I've never ecountered one that fast, and I know my ka is running fine. I mean I'd just beaten a triton v-8 for god's sake. I've never driven so terrible in my life, someone please smack me. Omg, just realized how long this post was. Ok I'll stop now

why would you use nitrous on the street anyways? for god's sake think of the kids plz.. what if a kid jumped in the street?

[MasterMan]

i lost to a fierro gt. Now thats embarrising, especially when all my friends have Gsr's. Smelling bs on the nitrous by the way

[Pennyfreak]

actually the z24's are pretty quick. they come with like 155hp and 150lbs/ft torque. i thought about getting one for a month or so but the rear wheel drive and potential of a 240 was just too much to turn down.

[Sygerwulf]

eh, fierro gt? that is pretty bad still dunno if it competes with the teal cavalier though lol

[Sygerwulf]

Hmm really? wow, didn't know that lol. That would explain why we accelerated at almost the exact same time. If only I'd gotton a good take off:angryfire

[Stoneage_Turbo]

it all depens on what kind of K car you ran against, lost
