Default How hard have you gone down?

It's happened, you all know it, you raced a car and lost, really bad. Tell us about it!

My 70 went down very hard about a week after I started to drive it. I thought I was the **** in it, lotta torque and HP, and sounded like It would run 10's (just had it on open headers). I was driving in my area and there was a new 911 Turbo, so I got in the lane next to him, slowed down and went into 1st gear, and nailed it tell I passed him, and we pulled up to a red light. He said "WTF do you have in that thing" I said "run me and find out". Well needless to say I didn't stand a chance in hell, the light went green, I gotta great start, but the 911 was ahead of me, and I looked down, as I continued to floor it, and I was doing about 80 and he was way ahead. That is when I learned that just because your car sounds like an NHRA drag car, doesnt make it one

And the second one was in my 87. I pulled up next to an STI, thinking my 5.0 auto would stand a chance. Once again, I was dead wrong.

Tell yours!
