I was heading back towards Jefferson from Commerce, and this Chevy Malibu with a HUGE muffler on it was in front of me, and a truck going 10 under the limit in front of her. The truck turned off, and it temporarily splits into two lanes (One turn lane). I dunno exactly what set this person off...but like, the girl in the malibu just put her foot down.. So I dropped to 3rd and floored it. I used the turn lane (Which uh..runs out) and flew by her just before the island median. She rode my *** back to the old Commerce and was behind me at a light. So as soon as the neon in front of me turned off, I floored it and left her behind to try and come after me. I didn't stop accelerating 'till 80, and I couldn't see her in my rear view anymore. Do girls automatically assume that cheap, loud mufflers make their cars fast? 
I know it's not that much of an accomplishment, but yeah. First kill in this new GXL.
The "Mean Kitty" and "Princess" Stickers must've added...what...like 100hp to my rear wheels?

Edit: My engine is stock, but I have a racing clutch and lightweight flywheel **

Even so, the Malibu packs a 200 HP V6 with GM's cutting edge pushrod technology. I think she could have spanked your *** is she wanted to.

Here is what I raced. It was not a NEW malibu, you goose, so there's no 200hp V6 in there.

Sounds to me it was more like a stupid guy in a 20 yr old sports car driving recklessly and without reguard to other vehicles on the road.
Like what was stated above, if she felt the need to be as dangerous as you where, she prolly could have walked on you or stuffed you into that island median.
You do the math....you have a 140hp S4(low torque), she has a 150hp V6 (a higher torque rating than a rotary).
Don't assume that because she is female that she is stupid and can't race, cuz THIS girl does race and I'm sure you can find a few other women here that can and do race whether it's autocross, drag, or road racing.

Who said she had a V6? And don't tell me how she is, she looked determined in my rear view from that light.
If I was able to smoke her that badly, I doubt it was a V6.
You also don't live around here. Jefferson, and Gainesville, are full of oddly not-fast cars with loud mufflers slapped on the back.
I'm all for girls racing, and being into cars just as much as guys. But I don't have any love or respect for the girls that have daddy buy them a $30 fart can and pay for installation, then go on to believe they are now driving a race car.
20 y/o car, yes. One to be walked on? No. It's no Evo or Vanquish, but it's faster than the average car. Straight line performance may not be the best, but it does enough.
My other GXL was bone stock, and I still murdered a few stupid gits.
You missed the point of my posting this. Don't take it personally. Don't question it. You weren't even there. A few of you have assumed she had the biggest engine option for that car...and she might very well have, but with my windows open and the roof down, and that big *** crap bucket on the back of her exhaust, it was more than obvious she was trying hard, and she didn't let up.
Did I come in saying I raced a Viper and beat it? No.
Where you there? No.
Are you being over-critical and just plain annoying? Yes, you are.
If you don't like what you read, ignore it. Period. No one's forcing you to read every detail.

sometimes when Im just driving around all normal like, and someone is driving crazy around me- the thought crosses my mind for a minute like "wonder if that guy is racing someone, or racing himself?"

I take corners a little fast, but thats because I don't want to hit the clutch and possibly have the engine stall
