I went out to eat with some friends saturday night before our homecoming dance and when I pulled in notice one of the girls in our group came with this guy driving a 03 cavalier, bodykit, 17" rims, the whole 9-yards of rice. Got talking to him in the resturaunt to just to find out what he's got done to it. It looked sharp, but like I suspected, it was all show, no go. Header and CAI were his only mods. At least it was a stick. Anyway, him and one of his friends (also the date of one of the girls in our group) start talking to each other and i find out they make a habit of lining up on the main drag through town and catching stoplights to run each other. This other guy drives a cavalier as well. I pretty much stayed out of the conversation, but when we were about to leave they wanted to drive up and down the main drag a couple times before going to the dance. As one of the guys got into his Crapalier he called out to the other guy "dont cry if I beat you in pink" (he was wearing a pink dress shirt :huh: ). I called out to them both, "dont cry when a neon beats you both."
First light they caught i was behind them, and had I layed on it wouldve rear ended them they were so slow. I waited, letting them take off first, shifted 1000-1500rpm early, and i still had to wait 2-3 seconds between gears, just coasting so i would run them over! The next light they caught i didnt even bother, but then I got in front, led them up to a light and the kitted cavi rolls up next to me (the guy w/ the header and CAI, 03 MTX). I told him not to feel too bad, but he was about to get owned by a neon. I stage at 4000rpm, light turns green and i launch hard, tires spin a bit and I floor it as they grab. He disappears from view as i pull on him hard right of the line. I slam second and then let off, glancing at my speedometer it reads 50-60 and the Cavy is way back in my rearview, I didnt even count the car lengths, but it was more than 5 for sure, possibly 8 or so. I threw on the hazzard lights just to rub it in.
At least they were cool about it, complimenting my SRT exhaust and things of that sort. I almost feel bad for embarrassing him in front of his date... Almost.
