Not much of a story, but I figure I'll tell it anyways.
Just out getting my Thai food tonight and I come up to a red near my school. Brand spanking new black Range Rover pulls up next to me. Damn good looking car so I look over and see some college-student aged guy in the driver's seat. He notices me looking and I look away. Don't really think anything of it.
Next thing I know, the light is green and I hear the range floor it. Even more, I hear its wheels screaming as it takes off. I'm entirely caught off guard. As fast as I can, I drop the clutch and floor it. Then the DSC kicks in.....naturally, didn't have time to turn it off before I floored it. So I get thrown into my seatbelt before I can reach down and flick the button.
In any case, I get moving quick and by the 1-2 shift, I was on him. He never had more than a 1/4 CL on me. I shut it down about halfway through 2nd after 2 CLs. It was really a pathetic show for the range. He did leave some tire smoke back at the light though when I looked in the rear view mirror.
Thought you'd want to hear!
