So i just bought my my lesabre for 350 bucks about a week ago. the other night i was driving home from work around 11:40pm when i hit the freeway, i looked in my mirror and saw a nice looking celica coming up on my left. i thought it would be a good time to see what this thing could do. i let him catchup and easly evened out speed looking over i saw he was a young fellow with a chick in the car with him.., hoping he'd go for it.. i egged him on a bit. sure enough i heard him down shift and go for it. so i floored it. staying perfectly even i looked over and laughed. he shifted and pulled slightly ahead, but we started out at like 65, and i know my power is at the lower end and i was running it out. by the time i had to slow down to hit my exit. he was about half a car ahead of me. it was awsome! he must weigh half what i do. not bad for an old beast and 350 bucks compared to what he had invested into his celica. fun stuff! love this thing. and being completely stock looking very much forward to getting some more HP behind the wheel =D.. so cheers!. i'm in love with my buick.
yah i was the same way when i first got my car... It had single exhaust and 20 year old cap rotor and wires and i still had to try and pick fights with ricers.. I picked a fight with a little ford focus xp and it literally blew my doors off. After a few months and a few thousand dollars more i'm now makin eyes bulge that drive mustangs. I'm still running points and a 2 barrel and give a good race against most ..Even cars i know thatll wil kill me.. I'll still race them just to see where it stands and even more so just to see the faster car " Get It".. I beat Trans Ams and most mustangs with automatics now.. Even beat an old trans am/firebird with a 350. Looked like a late 70's car. They just always catch me after 3rd shift around 75mph. most of my losses are due to wheel slippage.
too bad it was not a light to light race otherwise you would have pulled at least 6 cars on him i know i pulled 1 and i was driving a chevy 2.2 with a 5 speed on a truck ou:
