Beat a new Trans Am and got it a ticket..

This happened New Years Eve. I don't know what year, but it looked like a newer one. He had a manual since I saw him roll back a bit at one light when I was behind him.

Next light I pull up next to him and wanted to have a little fun on the way to a friend's house. I revved my engine and got a 'look' from the driver in return.

Light turns green and we take off, I take him from the launch, I did an idle to 1000 RPM launch and was spinning all the way to redline (very little spin, but nonetheless w/ partial throttle). Second gear made the rear end of my car go loose since I nailed it perfectly and got about another 5 feet or so of spin w/ the tail going a little sideways. By this time I had about 1 car length on him. I hit third and approaching 70MPH and he seemed to stay where he was until the end of the gear where I pulled slightly (going at about 90MPH now).

Traffic light, we both stop. My V1 radar shows strong signal ahead and to my left is this T/A revving up going for another show. I rev right back at him and give him a thumbs up and smile.

Light turns green, he nails it, I don't. About 200 ft up, on the right side behind a wall lies a enforcer of the law. I don't know if he was caught by surprise or what, but the T/A was already at the next light taking a left turn by the time he pulls out. I quickly turn off (right turn) on the same street he did (also the way to my friend's house), I didn't want to be anywhere near this one. I checked my rear view mirror and see the lights turn on while the cop is pulling a left turn onto the street to go after my racing companion.

Nice car, stupid driver (no radar).

The End.

I would have told the guy that there was a cop ahead or at the very least not rev and challenge him and bait him into the trap.

Just my .02...

You need to see some of my punk ass moves in Grand Theft Auto 3 if you thought I was a dickhead driving in GT.

Nice Kill!

Poor sportsmanship.

Never dog a fellow competitor like that. /if you knew, he should have as well. But.......he was the idiot with a 320 hp car and no radar!

Son?

If he can catch me next time or doesn't get pulled over again. I can see this to be a perfect V1 commercial

He should know better than to own a 'muscle' car and have no radar and going around racing a 'family' car.

Also, for all of you who think it was not nice of me to let him take the rap for what he did, this is my answer:

You pave your own road, whether it takes you to paradise or to hell.

If it was a LS1 Trans Am, it probably came down to his bad shifting skills. A Trans-Am consistently usually can do the 1/4 in 13.6-13.9... A little faster than a 540 6-speed (unless you use NOS again)

I'm fully aware of what a LS1 TA can do. It was just plain bad driving since I took him off at the launch.

NOS? Me? I don't know what you're talking about

What if the Cop did not use his Radar?
Instead he just saw you drag racing...

You woud got busted both no matter what....

Drag racing on the local street is STUPID. Doing 70-80 in a 35-45 zone is dangerous and reckless...

Flame suit is on.

I just think it is uncool to let someone get a ticket period. I don't understand why people enjoy this. All you had to do was signal to him there was a cop.

Just a to all you who are offended by my actions.

I did what I did because I did it. Now I bet if it was a CLS owner who did this, it would be cheers all around and life would be happy again

Just to offend those of you again,

If someone is a dick, they deserve a ticket. Period.

If there is some ass driving like a road-rage jerk0ff behind me, and the V1 says slow down, I provoke them, set them up for the fall.

Anyone else, I try to warn them of the dangers ahead.

It was M5 Lite's call. I was not there, so I don't know what I would have done.

Hey, if it gets you off, feel free to keep doing it. However, what goes around...

By the way, if you want an M5, just buy one.

I can totally see 540 six speed with a good driver take an LS1 with a bad driver. But needless to say, Ls1's are no joke. My friend has a 2000 z28 with jusk Borla and its an automatic with stock tires and it ran a 13.6. at 103mph I tried playing around with it in my CLS and it wasn't even close!

Awwww!

I would have hinted to the other driver something, not just feed him to the lions. That was pretty cold! I would have hated someone doing that to me.

Then again, we are not all the same.

Good kill man!
