02 EX vs. Chevy Suburban


Well, I was heading to work last night when I came up on this kid in a biga$$ suburban. I was just traveling my normal 10-15 over as I pass him and he speeds up to stay right next to me. We come to the last light leading out of Mt. Pleasant into the middle of nowhere. It turns red so we start to slow down.

We are side by side going about 15-18 mph when the light goes green and I punch it in 2nd gear and go. Well the car kinda bogs at first so the Suburban is right there at my door. But as soon as my car hits about 5K rpm, I pull nicely away from the mammoth of a vehicle and at about 100mph I shut it down. I was about 4 cars ahead of the Suburban.

So I guess we can add that to our list of beatable cars. All I have to say, is at least it wasn't an Escort who wanted to race me this time.

What are you all talking about? Of course a Suburban is gonna be slower than us. Just look at how heavy it is. Check out Car-stats.com.....they run slower 1/4 mile times than us.

So just because I have a nice looking car kids driving their parent's new Silverado 4x4 extended cab figure I will race them in the middle of traffic. Light turned green, I got off the line way ahead of them, and then I decided to use my secret move... I shifted into second at 2500rpm and they flew right by me.... yeah, its called I don't race big **** pickups in the middle of f**king traffic.

Maybe it was a POS, I don't know. All I know is I raced it and I won. I never lie about my races because I know taht once you lose your credability(sp) its tough to get it back. Just look at black99vtec.
