The slowbalt
I knew the slowbalt was, well, slow but man did I ever find out how much tonight! It was f.ing hillarious! I pulled up to a red light right next to a srt-4 that I think might have been modded and I knew he was going to floor it because we had both just been doing about 65 in a 45. Well the light goes green and we both have to make a left hand turn onto the highway, I was on the outside. We both floor it and I for one spun/slid all the way around the corner. By the time we were around the corner he was already at my front bumper. I had my window down and his exhaust was so loud I almost hit the rev limiter. I pull 2nd and just after his blow off valve pops off and then poof he was GONE. By the time I exited about 300 yrds later I was doing 60ish and he was a good 6-10 car lengths ahead of me. This is the first time I have gotten a chance to do anything close to race my car and I have to tell you, I chose the right screen name on here!
Later,
Dan

Thanks for getting it D Backer! I knew before I ever touched the throttle that it was over! Fun as hell though, as I exited I gave him a thumbs up out the window and he waved back.

The 2.2 is a very respectable econo box car. It kicks the **** out of any car below 16,000 dollars. I just can't wait till the turbo's start going on 2.2's that will be kick ass. Imagine pulling up next to the same neon in a year after some tuning and actualy holding your own, (maybe not winning but not getting killed).

That's how I felt when I used to have a auto base rsx and pulled up next to a wrx at a light.

Nice Death. My buddy gave me a run in his Stage 2 SRT-4. I couldn't even tell you what colour it was by the time he shut down!
