TL-S vs. Chevy Metro

So... Im coming down Tierra Subida towards Palmdale Blvd behind a Chevy Metro and several other cars. Everyone decides to brake and turn left into one of the neighborhoods, minus the metro. the lane splits into two, and since he was staying left I was going to change lanes and pass him on the right. He then proceeded to cut me off, so I swing over to the right (after checking to make sure I was clear ) and fly by him. We reach the light and I look over and he was just staring... so i said what the hell and gateshifted into first, turned off VSA and waited for the light.

Now, I have my girl in the car, and shes knows Metroboy is going to get pwned. He has a female companion as well, but shes not too thilled that hes doing what he is. So... the light turns green and i just go like normal until he floors it and put maybe a half car between us. I floor it, spin tires for a bit and proceed to lay waste to this guy. My girl said he had a smug grin on his face as he had me at the light.. but his expression changed after i caught him at redline in 1st, and flew by him in second. Me being the nice guy, flashed my hazards... to rub it in a bit... then I turned off into the Best Buy parking lot and flashed him a peace sign. I dont think he was too happy with the outcome, but what did he expect? thats what happens when you try and race your chevy metro against a TL. Im sure he saw the 'A' logo and figured it was an integra or something. go figure

i know its not an awesome victory or anything but i thought it was entertaining.

-side note-
I know its not a bright idea to race on the streets, but it was late at night and there was NOBODY out.

actually, thats the Geo Metro.. although its pretty much the same car.

http://consumerguideauto.howstuffwor...et-metro-3.htm

These are the Chevy Metro specs:

(I3) (I4)
55 / 79 hp
58 / 75 lb-ft



its most def. not a kill worth bragging about when you have more than 4x the HP and torque.

But its oh so fun to shatter their ego's when they think their car is fast.

whats funnier is that about 10 min before this fiasco started, an early model integra was trying to race me.

I dont try and pick on the 4-bangers... those little bastards are everywhere.
they see the "A" emblem and the "Type S" and they flock to me.

That used to happen to me in my Thunderbird. It was my own fault though. My rear license plate frame read, "If you wanna place :silvercup, follow me." . Needless to say, I always won.
