Just thought I would spread a little cheer today with this story that just happened today.
after getting gas for the RR I was waiting at a light and saw a nice hugger orange 69 SS 2 cars behind me waiting at the light.
We turned left and by instinct I pulled to the right lane and waited to see if he would pull to he left. Well at the last minute I changed my mind and decide to head home instead so I had to pull in front of him.
We sat at a light that has a long straight away in front of us and waited for the traffic to clear and the light to turn green. In my mind I was thinking, heck I'm just going to cruise home.
Well I looked back and I could see him shifting into gear and looked like he was getting ready to romp on it and I thought he is going to try to go round me right off.
Not having any of that when the light turned green I hammered it in first and left that sob 10 cars lengths behind me lol the whole time tires letting loose and hardly grabbing.
I hit second gear and was at about 120 and hit 3rd just before 5k then realized I had to slow down or I wasn't going to be able to stop at the next light lol.
I looked back while I was hitting third and could see this guy trying desperately to hit any gear he could to catch up.
I got to the next light and it is a 2 lane left turn I got in the right lane and he swept into the left fast pulled up next to me and said hey man I am impressed! I said why what's up and oh by the way sweet ride love the orange and cowl hood.
He said i'm impressed because not too many people are able to pull away from me like that and said oh really? wow guess you just got smoked then and smiled, then I asked what engine are you running and he says a 403 stroked or something I really didn't give a **** I just blew his *** away lol.
But being a gentleman I explained that I have a 500+ hp 493 stroked 440 and his arms go up wildly saying oh no wonder big block.
We mutually exchanged pleasantry's and went on our way.
I get home and run over to my neighbors house to share what happened and he says oh yeah I know that car east bay muscle cars built it for him I think he's got 40-60k into it they put in a stroker motor and a tremec 5 speed and we laughed as my 25 footer project MOPAR just smoked a 40k SS camaro.
End of story but since we are having good weather and I am in total Mopar mode I wanted to share this with you guys and gals
Enjoy your Saturday! go tear them a new one ;)
