A little stop lite action.

sweet. back when i was in high school i had this 71 charger with a 440 in it. i had traded my 67 cornet for it (mostly for the 440 of course). anyway, i had just learned how to brake torque this automatic (different story) and was driving a friend home. as we approach the red light i see this little black rustang that was (according to my step-brother) oneof the faster known cars in town. any way i told my buddy, this guys gonna want to race. sure enough the passenger sticks his head out the wondow and says "yah wanna run em?" admittedly i did tell him a cop had just passed us bye. his response? "hes gone". "ok" was my answer. so instead of flooding the charger by slowly holding down the gas to the floor, i just pushed the gas peddle down about two inches. i heard the little horse next to us getting reddy as well. the light turned green, i smashed the gas peedle to the floor and my charger just exploded out of there. the little black mustang was just back behind us spinning his tires. we both got giddy and where high five'in each other. we smoked him so bad we decided to drive real slow the rest of the way through town thinking he'd come up saying "lets go again", but he just stayed back there. it was fun. later as i told my stepbrother about it he informed me that mustang was supposed to be one of the fastest cars ni town. before that race i didnt know how to launch the car.i really thought i was gonna loose for some reason, but when we jumped outta the hole so fast i was just amazed. the old charger had more get up and go than i ever imagined. i know street racing is illegal, but theres just something cool about pulling up to a light and racing the car next to you. ive never raced at a track (i know its the proper/save way to race) but street racing was fun.
