Made a fool..

I've encountered some good races recently, except tonight driving home from work on the way to an appointment (I work in the Financial Services industry with long term financial planning). I see this black Evo with exhaust doing about 70 in a 40, and we actually get lined up at a light. Me in the R lane, him and the L and a van in the middle. I heard him rev so I rev'ed back and thought it was on. At the light I launched and saw he didn't, so got off it. I hear him punch it (he was a car or so back) so I punched it. By the time I hit 2nd he was even with me and by the time the top of 2nd came around and I hit 3rd, he was about 2 cars ahead of me, pulling. That thing was a beast lol. The spool on that thing was SO loud, I'm assuming he had an upgraded turbo. I was LOL'ing to myself in the car when I slowed down, he straight laced me. He slowed down more and I gave him a thumbs up. I figured he'd expect me to just blow past with my head down, but if I lose I wanna see what mods or whatnot the other car has I could care less if I lose. I couldn't be late to my appt so I couldn't ask but that thing was fast, put it that way

Even they are 4WD they're not only have advantage from the dig, but those things will be easily raping you from a roll also with just some basic mods.

Hah, I hear ya man. I remember when I raced an evo like 3 months ago that thing destroyed me. I saw him at a stop light and ended up talking for a bit and heading to the highway for a run on the highway - on my best run I was in second gear going around 45-50 and he actually let me get the jump and waited a second before flooring it.. I just remember hearing this guys BOV and then him flying by me. Hah, all in good fun though.
