A win is a win, right?
About two weeks ago I was out on a pretty populated road around midnight, and there were some cars out but not as many as there would be during the day. This is a pretty big racing road here and I pull up to a stoplight and a SRT-4 pulls up and starts to rev his engine at me, and I can here the blow-off valve and what not. Now I won't lie, my car is slow, its only a 2001 4-cylinder galant that isn't known for its speed. I just put on a spoiler so maybe that made me look faster. This guy has around 90hp and about 95lb-ft of torque on me. I knew I was beat, but I said, hey I wonder how bad I could lose, and he also had 3 other people in his car so why not. So, light turns, he floors it, and is gone before I get into second. Luckily, the next light is red and I happen to pull up next to him. He laughs at me and starts telling me that his blow-off valve sound is really his intake. I laugh and tell him I'm not dumb, and I know what he has got. So the light turns green and we both floor it again. This road has a incline so he is somewhat slower since he has got some baggage, but I still am way out matched. He gets over the hill and right before I get over I see he gets held up by some traffic so it basically turns into a huge downhill slalom. Luckily, my lane was clear and I take advantage of the downhill that I got. I basically start dodging and weaving around the about 4 cars that were on the road in this area iIget decent enough ahead of him that he gets held up at the light right before the highway on ramp. So, since I really did beat him in the end, is that a win?
