Default Post Your Worst Loss...The Flipside to a Kill

worst loss in Bonne: a low 12 second GTP. ouch, obliterated his tires and still destroyed me.

...Mustang: A few '03 Cobras(I knew they would kill me but i wanted to hear the loud *** */c'*.
a very very very built plymouth laser turbo with 250hp of laughs in a bottle. AWD, no traction at all. caught me off guard real bad. we were goin 50 when he got next to me, we dropped gears, i squealed two tires but he made four tires scream and walked on me like i stopped. i found out like 30minutes later when i got to the track that he was running 9.7'*, with slicks on all four, and yes, still absolutely no traction!!

I think my worst was against an 03 viper r/t 10. It was not really a contest, more of me drooling over his car, while he obliterated me. I did have him for like 10 feet of the line, but after that it was just slaughter.

Haven't lost yet, i haven't had too many experiences. The incident that pissed me off the most was with a buick... 90 or so Regal or Le Sabre, didn't seem like it was very fast, and no 3800 badges.... with 3 guys in it. I was going on home on highway 169 north last wed and i had my car looked just like my sig. They had their fox racing hats, looked like a buncha kids, they go by, the two that aren't drivin are lookingg at me laughing. I'm going 78 in a 65 zone, they pass behind a brand new 04 F-150. I was pissed at them laughing, they seemed like some decent american car kinda guys, so i was after them, after the next big cop spot i came up behind them , and went FLYING past them and then when they came around before i got off they didn't get let by...

BMW M3. To be honest, he had the jump on me, but would have taken me anyway. Almost got beat by a Dodge Shadow monday night, but he had telltale headers (4 outlets on each side) below the rocker panels to tell me he had a couple more friends under the hood than I did. I'd have liked to peek. I've been wondering if it was a RWD conversion or not.

Anyway, the M3 was the worst. His car was yellow, and had Oregon "BZZZZZZ" plates.

Dang... I can't compare to a Skyline or M3, but I do have one.

I didn't know I was racing him, because I was looking in a different direction at a different car. They guy who caught me off guard was in a new Mustang GT. He destroyed me.

BTW... MY CAR IS STOCK.

My worst loss was with a Jeep Wrangler. I had him for the first 3 or 4 seconds, but after that he passed me no problem. It was embarassing.

But that was 3 years ago in my crappy Celebrity. That POS took forever to get to 60. If I had clocked it it would be around 11 seconds on a good day.

I lost to a new Dodge truck with a Hemi inside. I didn't know it had the Hemi until he beat me(fairly close), but still I lost to a full size truck. Nice guy though, new a little about our cars...said I should get a smaller pulley and then come find him again.

mid 90'* Mitsubishi gallant...2nd week I had my car. We were both at a light in 45 mph zone...clear sailing ahead we both nailed it at green. Not being REAL familiar with my car I had TC on spun the tires and lost a lot of ground...I could hear him climb the gears (a real quick shifter actually) by the time I started to catch up we were doing 60 so i backed off...I drive with TC off around town now
