Rice/ VERY OT or is it?

[tfeverfred]

So, I'm coming home today from the doc. Minding my own business. In the SLOW (aka right lane) and this punk in a dang Honda Accord 4 door is on my bumper like he wants to see if my license plate is held on by phillips or a flathead screws. So.... yea it hit me. I let him get next to me at the next light and while we we're sitting there...... I smoked the gosh darn intersection! Laid a nice patch of rubber. Light turns green and I grab him right off the line. When he finally showed up at the next light, I guess he had learned his manners. He gave me a thumb's up. Like I needed it!? Felt good. Oh.... I'm driving a '99 4 door Crown Vic with a comp chip. 280HP at the rear wheels.

On the hot rod side of things, city of Houston is probably going to drop a check for my car and fight my physical damages. We'll see what happens, but damn.... I sure miss my hot rod.

Oh, storys or bench racing will be read and appreciated!

I too don't condone street racing. However, that thing the local gendarmes refer to as an 'exhibition of speed', i.e. trying to boil the back tires off at a stop light, is a totally different story and one I subscribe to as long as the occifer has turned the corner and is off down the block a ways.

The thing I always say is " AH, Is there a problem, Officer ?".

My truck that I'm taking the motor and tranny out of for the T looked very bad. It was a hugh eye sore but that was just for looks. It had a 327 that I built and a tranny that my dad put together. The rear gears were 3.73's and with the 295/50's all around it would blister the tires. I pulled up to a mustang at the light one day and the boy next to me just saw a ragged out truck. When the light turned he smoked them down. Well the next light I felt it was my turn so I smoked 1st through 3rd. He decided at the next light to take it slow. It feels so good when everything goes right. Now I can't imagine how the light weight T will handle with all that power. Anyone want to sell me some stock in tires.

I can't help ya with tha tires, but..... I'll tell ya, when that pwoer to weight ratio kicks in HOLD THA "F" ON!:lol:

Oh.... I'm looking ata 502 for Miss Fortune. Guy says he'll do 650 on the dyno. I'm going to look this weekend.

 

[HAceT]

I'm jealous. Man I'm really glad everthing has worked out with the accident though. Just remember not all LEO's are A$$'s.

 

[tfeverfred]

Thanks. It ain't over, but it's looking good. And yea..... when Miss Fortune hits tha street........

REVENGE is a dish served cold. No that I'm carring a grudge or anything,:lol:

I hate crap like that, every time I take the bucket out for a cruise I get challenged. I've taken to offering to race them if they can offer me a worthy challenge. When questioned on it I simply simply ask them to do a wheelie. Most guys with front wheel drive cars don't even get it.

 

[tfeverfred]

True. I was at the auto parts store and asked an idiot if he did or didn't take physics. Hell, power to weight ratio is something I learned in the 5th grade.

 

[old round fart]

When people ask me "how fast is that thing?" I would tell them "It will do a half hour in 28 min."

 

[Duke]

When asked " How fast is that thing ". I just say I am not sure, but it does take 30 seconds for the shadow to catch up.

 

[butch27]

Fred: That would have never happened if you were driving a "T" Bucket.:rock:

:rofl:.........

 

[tfeverfred]

Drilled the holes in the Dago axle today!

 

[old round fart]

Come on Fred....we deserve PROOF!

 

[tom buckley]

I wish i could find someone that wanted to race me.

They also ask how fast will it take off.
I tell them, it so fast that every time i
take off the paint slides back 2 inches...

speed equals weight divided by pony's
when you take 2 lb's in weight and
750 hp. only means one thing.
hang on to your a$$ and let your hat go to
hell......
