My first boosted "race"

before I was boosted, on this certain street leading to my house, this Grand Prix GTP would haul ASS down this street which is like a 3-4 mile straight away everytime I would see this car....it would always be late and theres hardly ever traffic on the street...only traffic u might come across that time of night is a cop...anyways, I never tried to race him while i was N/A b/c I knew it would be a waste of time but tonight I caught up with his ASS ....anyway...he was behind me at a light and so when the light turned green I took off slowly just to see if it was actually him and about 5 feet past the light he floors it going past me so I'm like "hells yeah"...so I crank it up to 5psi (it piked to like 6.5psi or so) after he's like a couple cars ahead of me and get on it....so I pull a lil' on him but both of us are approaching a slow ass car and where the cops usually hang out...after checking for cops, we both pass the car and by now I'm about a car or so behind him so he floors it and then I cranked it up to 8.5psi from a 50mph roll and man I pulled on his ass like like crazy but I admit I didnt 'kiss" his bumper till like 100 (I was never a car behind him though) or lil' before that...I shut it down at like 125mph b/c #1 my suspension SUCKS ASS and I live in the country and we were on those bad ass country roads with NO STREET LIGHTS (except for light poles at people's houses) and #2 b/c I didnt wanna blow my shitt up...anyways, I could have easily passed his ass.... oh yeah, my clutch sucks ass...it wont even break the tires loose going into 2nd gear on 5psi AND on 8psi...it slips all the way up going into 4th gear

thought I would share my first "race" while boosted with u guys...flame if u want if u dont believe it....they are some heavy cars but decent for the weight that they are and they are Supercharged ya know.... ...I was excited about this...cant wait to get my new clutch and flywheel

You'll be feeling a lot more power with the new clutch as more of your ponies will actually make it to the wheels.
