Interesting Post On A Saturn Ion RedLine Forum

Was the Grand Am victim anyone on this site? This event took place in Texas. http://www.redlineforums.com/forums/...read.php?t=831
Next up, I see a Grand Am in my rearview. I know it's gonna be on because he had a double scoop (nostril type) hood. I slow down and let him catch up. I see he has a bunch of ricer looking stickers all over his car. I look over at him and give a few good revs. He just looked at me and laughed me off. I then nodded at him like, "let's go then." As soon as he saw I was serious, he hit the gas. We started at about a 55mph roll. I EASILY walked him by about 5 or 6 car lengths. At first I thought he wasn't trying but when I hit my brakes and checked my rearview I could see he was hauling balls trying to catch me. Anyhow, I waved and he waved back and we went seperate ways entering the freeway.

Good fun this racing stuff is. I love the fact that Saturns are known as slugs. I mean, the dude in the Grand Am was just laughing at the fact that I was challenging him and then got his ass handed to him. Gotta love that.

I guess the car was super fast due to the hood?!?

what a smart guy that GA driver was, challenging a supercharged high end monster with his low-end focused n/a, probably stock GA.

Crisco · 02-23-2005, 11:18 AM

a non functional ram air hood makes any car fast

this guy sounds ghey.. "I slow down and let him catch up...I then nodded at him like, "let's go then."...I hit my brakes and checked my rearview I could see he was hauling balls trying to catch me. Anyhow, I waved and he waved back and we went seperate ways entering the freeway." This guy sounds like someone straight out of napolean dynamite. He probably looks at many guys and thinks "lets go then."

where at in TX

AznGA · 02-23-2005, 10:04 PM

If I read it correctly, the guy with the Ion was the one that started the ****. Bragging about your supercharged car beating a N/A GA, very smart.

sc02grandam · 02-23-2005, 11:32 PM

how come this doesnt happen to me??? no one ever wants to race

carsarecool · 02-24-2005, 09:55 AM

yeah, def. not the same car class, id like to see how he'd do against a GTP comp G

GregFarz78 · 02-24-2005, 09:58 AM

hey guys I raced a school bus the other day and WON!!!

GAGTSCTGuy · 02-24-2005, 10:18 AM

Hey guys I raced a dumptruck and Won! I heard the turbo, and knew it was on....

Then we waved and went our separate ways....

elim · 02-24-2005, 10:56 AM

I raced a kid on a bike in my neighborhood just yesterday. I knew it was gonna be on when I saw he had a balloon in his spokes that made his bike sound like a motorcycle. AND I WON!

PFFT...no way in hell you would beat that. He must've missed first.

pontga00 · 02-24-2005, 11:31 AM

I raced an old man in a wheel chair with an oxygen mask on. I knew it was on when he purged the oxygen. Got him by about half a cars length, but a win's a win.

Mike3800 · 02-24-2005, 11:49 AM

I raced a school bus the other day. I knew it was on since she had the rear wing on the top and the black racing stripes, AND it was sport yellow.

I lost by 1/2 a car, but hey... I didn't get any traction off the line.

pontga00 · 02-24-2005, 11:51 AM

LMAO...has anyone posted on his thread with something outrageous like we have posted here? It would be way too funny...
