Best Feeling Ever

[A//// Guy]

Very true, and id feel super giddy after something like that happened! lol

I am definitely not disputing that, but it was awesome that I even had the chance to line up next to it!

How many of you have had that opportunity, and actually won?



Didn't happen to have an attractive female in the car at the time?

Well, he went home with his Ferrari and you went home with your DSM. I'm pretty sure he's not losing any sleep over it.


I don't know, his ego might have been a little bruised ;)

Only saw the driver, collared shirt, slicked back hair, 30's.

Too bad. I want to put my Evo up against your car.

Lots of people who spend $100k on a car won't spend another $5k on road/track lessons.

Maybe so, but Kevin can say he built it and didn't buy it.

Naw the best feeling ever is racing a Lambo downtown first ave. with a rusted ass 1978 caprice and losing horribly but watching the guy blow a red light in front of a Minneapolis cop going triple the speed limit. Which one do you think the cop went after?
1.The Lambo that just blew the light at about 65-70
2. The rusted 1978 Caprice that stopped for the light

If you guess they went after the Lambo you are correct.

The look on that guys face as I passed by him was priceless.


Good kill with a DSM though

Just having a little fun with you and trying to throw in a little perspective at the same time. Kudos to you for not getting bent out of shape about it. Congrats on your kill.

You're right, it does feel good. Never had the good fortune of running up against a Ferrari but I have surprised many with DSM's I've owned as well as other cars.

Straight line acceleration is the number one performance stat everyone focuses on. That was all I cared about until about 12 years ago when I found out how much fun it was hitting the brakes and turning corners. For those that have never participated in a high speed driving event, open track day, or driving school like they have at Brainerd, I highly suggest it. You don't have to have a fast car, just a safe one cause it's not about the car. Try it sometime. Everything you learn up there can be applied to the street and WILL make you a better driver.

Not that I condone this kind of activity but if guys are looking for a serious challenge, keep an eye out for a dark blue Porsche 911 with license plate "IT RIPS", a silver Porsche GT2, and an atomic orange Z06 with license plate "ATOMICZ". These guys take on all comers.

Not sure what the has to do with anything but good for him for wrenching on his own car.

Some people don't have the time or the desire to turn wrenches but are still enthusiasts. Or perhaps they're like me and have been working on cars for the last 28 years and have gotten tired of it and just want to enjoy driving. If I could afford it, you better believe I'd have a Ferrari F430 in my garage. Of course I'd still have my DSM.
