2 more kills under the belt..

The first is against a last-gen Prelude. Stock I think. We both had 1 passenger and trunks full of camping gear. We did a 40-100mph roll. Raped him so hard, I had to ask if he was even trying. He said yeah. I can't count how many cars I put on him but it was a massacre.

The second race was cooler. I pull up to a red light beside a 1980's Volvo 240. I look over and notice a mint paint job, 50 yr old guy behind the wheel. Stock, but very clean rims, lowered. Then I see a V8 badge on the side. I think to myself, that guy has something done to it... he doesn't exactly fit the ricer profile.

So the light turns green, and I get going while holding 1st gear. He accelerates a little harder and is about half a car ahead of me. I then figure he's going to race. I got WOT, light up 1st gear, shift hard into 2nd, and by that time I'm at his door. He's gone WOT as well. Through 2nd gear, I pull away about 1.5 cars on him, and 1 more through half of 3rd.

We pull over at a gas station, because I was dying to see what he had. My guess was a 5.0 swap... and that's exactly it. A crate 302 motor dropped right into his Volvo. He was setup for road course though, with good suspension... nothing else was done, even had stock 5.0 exhaust!

Well that's all!
