Me and a Corvette 100 MPH on a turn..

Friday morning I was on my way home from work while on Spur 408, I followed this 2000 Corvette very closely. I did not want to race this beast, for I would surely loose. I just wanted to have some fun. The "fun" was up the road a couple of miles where 408 merges with I-20. There is a sharp turn that turns into a steep drop going westbound I-20. As we approached the turn, I then hit the gas to catch up to the guy in the Vette who was just cruising along. As he saw me comming up, he hit the throttle as well, and made my approch a little slower. At around 105 MPH, I leaned my body towards the turn as I entered it, and slowly crept past him. As we came out of the turn, He pulled up beside me, and gave me a nod, and drove on down the road. I did not pursue because I knew better.

You love racing don't you? Usually when cars try to race me it always seem to be in moderate traffic. Its fun messing with cars that are way faster than you. I did it to this Firebird before on the Interstate. I got a kick just watching him blow by me.

I love provoking fast cars too. Sadly most people don't realize that I'm not trying to be an ***, I just wanna see how well their cars move!

Ditto that. The other day I was in my Civic DX and came up behind a Porsche 911 on a really twisty road. I crept closer and closer until he finally took off and boy was it awesome to watch If I had at least been in the P5 I could have handled the turns a lot better and maybe stayed in his rear-view mirror for another few seconds

I screw with cars no matter what. Faster slower, don't matter. I go to work at 5:30 . I need the laugh then.

Same story here. I pulled up to many nice cars before, mostly 911s, an NSX, and a few Vettes, and asked the drivers to rev them up a bit. Man, it is friggin' nice to hear those engines in their full glory. I even tried to tail a 911 close enough with my head out the window just so can hear the car better

I like messing with cars also, just to see what they got. I almost wet my pants one night, when this dude in a modded Ford F-150 Lightning put like 2 car length on me......really surprised me, but at the same time i was like....'whoa! kicka$$!' It was insanely quick.

I was in my friends 2000 Saab Aero (not slow). And we came across a older GMC pick-up. And for fun we went screaming past him and then slowed down. Less than a second later we hear this orgasmic sound of phhhhsssssss... As he felw past us. We finally caught up to him and found out that it was a GMC Cyclone. with many, many mods turbo set at 20psi, HP at the wheels was like 506. Ohh also all wheel drive, shich helpped his incredible 0 to 60 time of 3.4 sec with out squeeking a wheel.

That was the most fun I had in a while.
