Looked like this:
I was behind him and we caught a red light. I swung out and got next to him at the light.
We were both pretty silent sitting there. Honestly I really didn't think he would try me because most people are in their 50's that own them.
Light green we roll I am in first and take it to 4 K and shift. The noise my car made at 4K was all it took for him to suprise the hell out of me as he mashed his throttle. I floorid it in second at 3K RPM it took the turbo a second to spool. Them wham 290RWHP unleashed as I rocketed past him in second gear buzzer buzzed and I hit 3rd really hard the wheels broke loose the 255 Proxes and she fishtailed for a couple of seconds as she tried to find traction. I took her to about 80 MPH and let off. Looked up to see where Audi boy was and he was way back 30 cars or more.
We caught another light. This time I decided to give it to him out of the hole. Light green I let her rip. fishtailing in first then I nailed second same thing broke her *** loose and fishtailed again. At this point I hed realized he was not biting so I let off at about 50 MPH. He stayed behind me for a while then turned off.
2nd Kill
Pathetic to say the least. A 3000GT (non-turbo) pulls up alongside on a 2 mile long bridge right as we are getting on it. I notice his snazzy lighted windshield washers. I just cruise along in 4th gear as he is pacing me. I have no intention of racing this tank. He punches it so I just ease down the gas 1/2 throttle and start to pull then I floor it and walk on away. Did he really think his car was fast. Hehe those cars kill me even the turbos are pigs.
Fun night heading home. I dont get those too much.

Yeah, the Audi actually suprised the hell out of me by the time I could react/ get the turbo to spool he was a good 3 or 4 cars out in front. I thought for a sec I blew it.
It lloked to be a 250 HP deal. It definatly jumped when he stomped it.
I have not run anyone in a while and honestly after running my FC at 1.5 bar for a couple of months before the rebuild it feels slow now at 0.7 Bar. I felt vunerable and Vettes again make me nervous. I was not sure I would walk the Audi. Especially from a slow roll or stop.
As far as the 3000GT I really needed to downshift 1 or 2 gears to pull hard. I did nothing more than just push down the gas in 4th and walked away it really was not a race just had to make sure he knew what was up.

Nice I killed one of those on the interstate...me with my girl...him with his girl.
he passes me in the slow lane, so I look at my lady and say, this will be fun...part throttle I chase in 4th, he increases speed and I'm closing the gap, we hit about 110 and I left off a little (still part throttle), to make him think he got me, then ALL of a sudden...smash the pedal and we walk on by around 130 hit fifth for a sec and left off and just chill... BIG GRIN on my face.
Then he flys by me changing lanes like a retard and pulling dangerous moves...I stay in the same lane and catch up to him and pass him at cruising speeds again, and just laugh...asshat doesn't stop like he's trying to prove he's a better driver or something, I yawn and proceed on my journey
