What kill are you most proud of?

We all have at least 1 kill that makes us smile whenever we think about it, post yours here! My personal favorites lately in my Vette have been an '02 Viper GTS from a dig and a 427cid Camaro from both a roll and a dig:grin: I'll be posting some GS kills soon though.....

 

Corvettes....hehehehe....I 'killed' one with my modified '79 Turbo Regal!....must've been back in '88 or so. This Vette had a rear wing spoiler, tinted windows, and a custom license plate...'Roofman', I think it was....I love killing those posers....:laugh: :laugh:

 

I can't stand those posers myself...I remember when they used to put the fake ferrari vents on the sides of those vettes and thought it was coolo No: I remember slaughtering an '87 Vette with my '70 Cutlass 455, he didn't know what was going on until it was too late:Brow:

 

I beat a 99'-00' riced out checy malibue in Alexandria MN when i was in college. at midnight 3 stop lights in a row flash yellow Brawdway is the main drag and at midnight it turns in to a dragstrip.

My favorite kill was last year, a 328 Ferrari. He did jump me off the line, but by 60 mph, it was all over for him. Boy was he pissed!

 

Many years ago I raced a '69 Hurst Olds down at Front St. in Philly in the GSX. Raced and beat him twice actually after he made some carb excuse after the first race. Two rare cars going at it made that race memorable for me.

 

Ron (TufBuicks) in his 72 Stage1 GS, Larry (LARRY70GS) in his '70 Stage1 GS and I usually go for a REAL cruise after "cruise nite" ends late friday nite. We go down along the beach where not only is it totally desolate at 11-12pm, but its 3 lanes W I D E :Brow:

A few times we've lined them up next to each other and "Have at it"..... and before they chime in, I KNOW I have alot more moter than them but......

It is a SWEEEET thing beating two STAGE1's At the Same Time...... WITH THE TOP DOWN !! ....in another GS :moonu: :laugh: :laugh: :moonu:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

My second favorite Kill was in my RoadMaster Estate Wagon against some Riced out POS that was weaving in and out of traffic driving like a real idiot in Sun morning traffic. I had my 90# CHocolate Lab in the back of the car......

We catch a lite and he's revving it waiting to slingshot on the green - I cut a .500 lite, Pinned Mocha to the tailgate and pulled about 20 cars on them.

We stop at the next lite and his friends are HYSTERICAL laughing at the driver for loosing to a wagon.....Mocha is barking like a lunatic at all their commotion

I rolled down my window and said "My DOG says your car is Slow and that SHE could beat you for $50 bucks"

His friends practically rolled out of the car laughing so hard :laugh: :grin: :laugh:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

My sweeetest kill was last summer on the highway against a 427 Cobra Replica - we were both just cruising and found each other and both instinctively slowed down side by side to about 45 mph - I nodded to him, he grinned, and when I heard him go for a downshift I nailed it and put about 5 or 6 cars on him up to triple digit land.

We slowed and he was genuinely impressed and showed me so with lots of :TU: :TU: :TU:

 

My favorite was lightly pimped up mustang... body kit, nothing else. He had his hood up at the gas station when I pulled up, and was busy showing his girlfriend and a couple guys his "modified" engine. Being a late thursday and having just come off a 16 hour slog at work I was tired as hell.

When I went to pay the clerk was obviously just as tired. He was just getting ready to wrap up so I apologized for being his last fill. He replies... "that's ok, those idiots out there have been holding me up here for 20 minutes". I looked at my watch and it was 15 minutes past closing time...hmmm, I pay for my gas and wander out to the mustang...

"Hey, niiice engine man!"

"Yea, it's got everything special ordered from the factory"

"Wow"

Looking under the hood, it's a stock 5.0 with a K&N. So I figure it's worth some fun.

"...so what would this do against a regular car? It'll beat the hell outta a regular v8 in a Wagon huh?"

"Depends, what's in it?" (OK He was a little suspicious)

"It says on the side... ummmmmm a 4.9 litre... but it's a really fast Wagon, and 4.9 is almost your 5.0 right?"

So he runs in, pays for his gas and follows me out to the light in front of the station. There wasn't a car in sight, it was 11:15 so I figure a quick quarter won't hurt. Ridiculously easy kill, pulled a carlength off the line, then walked away. He turned off at the next light.

The reason I like this one? Next week when I walked into the station to pay it's the same attendant... he looks at me, looks out at the Wagon...

"No charge man..." :TU:

 

My favorite was against a early 92-94 Camaro... Had alot of work done to the motor, blower (vortex style), suspension upgrades. Man did that car hook, got me off the line but caught him in Second gear, pulled two buick lengths on him till the end.

I got the :TU: from him that day.

 

Nothing in my Skylark... well... maybe a couple clapped out trucks on the highway...


With the STi... probably everytime someone in a (name car here) with a highly modified body and loud exhaust gives it a try. Most notably, a sky blue civic with white rims, blue tint, a cut to fit skyline body kit, Nissan 240SX headlights, and a 3" exhaust with a 5" tip ( ). The only engine mod? a 100 shot. Did he keep up, even using the nitrous? not even close.

People with F-Bodies and muscle cars generally give me dirty looks until they see the badges. Then I give thumbs up, and so do they.

Oh, by the way, everyone thinks they are fast when they are on the highway. That is where most of my "encounters" occur... even with stock Geo's and Hyundais

 

My Favorite is in the post 2 for 1. The TA owner tried me three other times before he sold it. Each time it was 7-8 car links. Wouldn't really rather drive a Buick!

 

68 442 Running 10.30's

At the 2001 BOP races in Bremerton I had the most fun I've ever had at the drags. During second round of eliminations I was singled out by the owner of a 68' 442 drag car. He was well known, in fact the track guys let him "pick his kill" as he sat off to the side while everyone else staged. So who does he pick on but me and my banana mobile.

Keep in mind this tubbed car does an awesome wheelie as he marches down the track to very consistent 10.30's. I was running 12.20's at the time and new I was dead when he pulled up to the water box next to me. Oh well I thought, at least I'll have a good view of his car catching me. He didn't disappoint. After a king size leap off the line. He was getting bigger in my rearview REAL FAST. The finish line was coming up quick and I actually felt like I was going too fast. So at the first light beam I lifted off the gas, knowing I was just a pinch ahead. The Olds went flying by at the line. I thought, well I lifted early, I'm out. I drove to the ticket window unsure, until I heard my wife yelling on the two-way radio, "You won! You won!!". The radio was breaking up so I still wasn't sure what happened. The gal at the time slip booth gave me a smile and a thumbs up when I got my slip..."W" in my lane!!! I ran a 12.280 on a 12.28 dial to his 10.33 on a 10.31 dial...OUCH!!!

All my Buick buddies were all over themselves on that run. When the high fives stopped I went looking for the Olds owner to tell him that that was alot of fun. To my surprise he loaded up and left for Oregon in all the commotion. You know I don't think he has been back to Bremerton since...o No:

 

Kearney nebraska last year, I got a tubbed up parachute pack-in 440- challenger, I being nice said " hey it looks like a street car vs a race car today"

He replies " Streetcars dont belong at the track you should leave that car home"

WEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!

I told myself drill this dork its for his own good!!!!

I went up with a 10.60 on my car and threw down a .509 light and ran 10.62 and put him on the trailor!!! :spank: :spank: :spank:

Then me being me I went by his camp on my bike and said too bad about your race car it must be the street car comment my car heard you say!!!:rant:

Later!!!!!!!:3gears:

 

These are all very good kills:TU: I have a kill i love myself. I didn't even think it was worth posting up in the kill section, because he was lame and so was his riced out ford "Fiesta". The car and race was lame. I don't know how small of engines fiesta's have, but they can't be very powerful. Anyways, he had this fart-can muffler and these flunky looking decals, like "NOS", do ricers think stickers add HP?o No: Anyways, As im going down high street in my town, in front of me was this fiesta, going slow as heck, and he was going so slow, I decided to forget him, so i swerve over to the left lane and pass him, after all, it was a 25 MPH zone, and when i was behind him, I was doing 15 MPH. I decided to go around him and as i did, he sped up and tried to keep beside me, and I pushed on the gas a little more, and so did he, and i look down at the speedo,:shock: Im doing 40 in a 25 zone. A stop sign appears close by and i slow down and so does he. He makes me so mad, so i thought:"Lets see what that peice of crap can do besides be annoying". His car is a manual shift, as he revs the engine while it is moving, so at the stopsign, I look over at him and I throw the car into low range and he's looking amazed at what i just did, I don't know why. I decide to throw the accellerator 3/4 of the way down and I catch a little loose gravel and the car skids the tires a little:3gears: As I let off of it, i shift the car back into drive and slam it down again, and as I did i kept my eye in the rear-view mirror as well as glancing at the road ahead. I notice him getting farther and farther behind. I get to the second stopsign, and he is nowhere in sight. Get this: I seen him at walmart one day and he gives me one look and then walks away into the electronics section. I knew what he was thinking:laugh:

Some really nice non-rice kills here:TU: You guys have taken out some pretty nice iron, I'm starting to get the motivation I need to see if I can make my nailhead smoke the vette:Brow: I think the quickest steel-bodied nailhead GS runs 11.6 so I'll have my work cut out for me, but I think not ever building a nailhead before is going to help and hurt me at the same time. Help me because I will be trying to go in at a different angle than everyone else, and hurt me because I don't know what doesn't work for these motors yet.....Anyways, keep the kills coming, I am really enjoying this thread!

 

My most memorable was when I test drove my 70 GS 350 when I was buying it. I had my dad and my little brother in the car and walked all over a small block 4-speed Mustang with big tires and loud pipes. Now, my GS was stone stock right down to the skinny tires. My dad actually goaded me into running the guy.

Needless to say, stomping him made the decision to buy pretty easy. The hardest part was not letting the sales geek know how bad I wanted it!!

 

MY favorite Kill... Hehehe. I was fresh out of highschool. Actually, I was on my way home from school. I was driving the 84 T/A, 430, TH400, 3.42s, Dual Cherry bombed hoodless jackass mobile. It had a pronounced lope, down pipes to cherry bombs and nothing else. With Solid motor mounts, the car would sorta shake at idle speeds. Any way, I'm at the light, when this Z3 'vert pulls up. I was cocky as hell. He was an older guy with a young chick, a real prick. I look over at him, and he gives me this look like I'm some sorta redneck, the car was two tone at the time, so I guess I was a redneck o No: . At this point I throw some revs. I drop the TH400 into first, and load the converter a bit. HE looks all game, as he eyes the light... Its green, And I slam it wide open, The Bird rips the tires and shoots to 5500. I short shift it and it begins to hook and finally grabs. By this time his rear bumper is at my nose, but I just walk past him. I took second to 4500, and threw it drive, and went on my way. I destroyed him by about 8 car lengths. Natuarally I was out of gas at this point. I stopped at a station when I notice he pulls in. I pump the gas and he marches towards me like he is gonna hit me. This is were the cocky thing comes in, again. I stand as tall as I can, and give him the look, like, alright, we can do this again. He yelled at me for awhile, told me he was going to call the cops and all that fun stuff. I told him to grow up, and but a real car. He stormed off, Hopped in his Z3, and backed into a poll. ............ That was fun stuff

 

Big Block Camaro Goes Down !

Last year here in Seattle at Pacific Raceways, I got paired up against a original 396 SS Camaro. The engine didn't sound very stock either. I figured the night would be over after that. He got me a the light by a car length. By mid track we were side by side. At the end I was ahead by a car length. :laugh: Very satisfying !!! John

 

Here's mine...
