At about 11pm yesterday I was on my way home, and I was forced to take an alternate route due to the fact the normal way home was completely packed with traffic. I head home on a certain highway I hate because it has a stop light every 1 or 2 miles.
As I come to a stop at one of the stop lights, I pull next to a very cleanly modded nissan altima, 3.5. It was white, lowered, had nice rims, dual fart cans, and a nice tint job. We just look over at each other, and I expect a race.
We each take turns inching up to the white line as the light turns yellow for the opposite side of traffic. The light turns green, but nothing happens.:confused
We are both rolling, and judging from the way it car sounded, his was a manual. I am accelerating normally, just shifting at 5000rpm in case he tried to pull something. I was bored... and at this point, I was hoping he would:devillook
So we finally get up to about 50ish, I am in 3rd gear, and all of a sudden, I hear him blip the throttle and downshift; followed by that deep howl of an intake. With the 3.91 lsd, I am right in the heart of the powerband, so I respond quickly and gun it.
Even though he got a slight jump, I neutralize his pull instantly, and begin to reel him in.
I shift to 4th, and begin to open up a nice gap on him. I slam it into 5th and get to about 120mph, and leave about 3-4 lengths on him by the time he flashes his high beams, accepting his loss.
He gives the thumbs up, and when we get to the next stop light, we exchanged compliments. He did not expect that to happen. He was a pretty nice guy. To be honest, I didnt think I was going to win, especially not by that much.
