Well this was unexpected… two things…

When I had my 2001 Camaro SS, the main people who wanted to drag race me were women in minivans.

Once I had a lady powerbraking next to me at the light. My car had the SLP Loudmouth exhaust (loud, annoying, droning, but sounded like a NACAR when revved) so I revved it at her and she backed down.

But in her defense I guess it did look like an easy kill for a Honda Odyssey.

I can honestly say with all the sports cars I've had I never had any women in mini vans want to race me. lol ?

My worst offender was my heavily modified turbo Rx7, which was WAY faster than my SS.

It seemed to draw BMWs like sugar draws ants.

BMW stood for Behind My Wankel. ?

they're just late picking up the kids from soccer.
to the testosterone overloaded male, this is mistaken as "racing"

Yeah they're the ones who drive like maniacs out here. I can see them coming in my rear view mirror doing 60 in a 35 and passing me like I'm standing still. Usually some soccer mom in her mini van putting on her makeup while driving.

I can honestly say that when I saw her cower before the thunderous roar of the LS1 engine, I saw 4 additional chest hairs sprout out around my gold chain.

Why do I always seem to find the pictures. ?

I think I'll just use some white out on the first R in Ranger. That should hack them off a bit as I drive by!

Got into a little tussle with a presumingly stock 6.2 Yukon Denali this morning. I was in normal driving mode and launched very softly as I’m well aware I could take a stock 6.2 with my setup in sport mode at full song. Well he punched and I did too (stoplight that leads directly to 65mph zone). I pulled about 1.5-2 cars on him and shut down at 85. He flew by a second later and I got behind him at the stoplight and… it was a Hennessy Supercharged 6.2 Yukon! I’m sure he was very confused about what just happened. I do not promote street racing, but I will consider “spirited acceleration comparison” at times ?

Also, on a unrelated side note. Found the smoking gun with my increasingly bouncy ride with FX4 shocks! 10 months old and 7k miles… they were blown! Didn’t notice when I removed them for some reason. But explains a lot. No wonder the fox feel like butter!

I blew away a dodge ram hemi in normal mode. He was pissed.

Started to rain some so could not get a good launch. Even then ran 5.95 back to back and then a 6 flat. A lot of wheel spin on all three tries.
I think the GPS lags a bit so who knows but a solid high 5s truck I’m sure of.
Maybe mid 5s with a better launch.
I did one 1/4 mile and got a 13.96. Again horrible launch.
I had the 120 lb wife in the truck also. 1/4 tank of gas.

Around here there a lots of mopars running around with hellcat logos

When I had my Mustang GT I played around with a real Hellcat once. I just wanted to see it get on it. Holy crap those things are stupid fast.
But yes, there a lot of these weird V6 Hellcats and SRTs out there. ?

It really is crazy to see. Downtown St Louis on the weekends, there are lots of Hellcats and Shelby's racing on the interstate.

I'm guessing if he was a poser he yanked those emblems off when he got home.

With my '06 GT it sounded really fast. But, I was careful with some of the tuners that ran around town. Sound just don't win no races.

I still hate the day I sold that car. It was quite fun to drive. I've been looking at a few S197's lately, but the dang prices are unreal.

I used to hit test an tune at dragway 42. It was a neglected track with out of date facilities so it was never crowded. You could get 10 runs in in 3 hours. One night a mini van was in the other lane from me an he had on the Gaucho Marks fake glasses/nose/mustache on. I was cracking up an cut a terrible light.

Got into a bit of a tussle this morning at a stop light, with a 2021 Ranger Lariat 4X4. No contest really, but when we both pulled into the BigR parking lot together, he ask me if I was driving one of the new V6s. Enough said!

I've had to out my tail between my legs a few times. Back in the day when I had my Z28 I got smoked by a few "sleepers" that I thought were a cinch to beat.

My 89 Ranger was definitely a sleeper with the 2.9L V-6, 5 speed and 2WD. Beat Camaros, TA's, S-10's with the 4.3, and many others.... BUT, did get my butt handed to me one night out cruising University Ave in W'loo/Cedar Falls IA....it was a Olds Calais with the Quad 4 engine....and he smoked me bad !!
