2 in a day
so today was the first Real nice day weve had. sunny, and no rain, so ther were tons of hot cars out and about.
so i found out i was geting off work early, so i cleaned up the RT, at work, and drove toward home, taking some time to cruise around the main street area. 5 lanes, a light roughly every mile, with a couple nice straight areas, bordered by guardrails on both sides.
the last few days ive seen a girl riding around in a newer honduh civic, red, with a kit and a wing on it. looks like its dropped, and the exhaut off my old lawn mower. well, im going along, and i see her going the other way, and turn into a side lot quick, so i make the next left, turn around, and as i come to a light, she pulls out. we were the first 2 cars at the next light. shes revving the engine, so i turned my stereo up, and gave a few quick kicks of the throttle, and jerked forward a bit, and she did the same..the light turned green, and we both jumped it. i spun a bit, and she surprisingly launched pretty well. i grabed second, as did she, and i began to pull away. by the time i got off it, i was far enough ahead that she had given up, and another car came charging between her, and myself. so next light, that car rolls up. about a mid to late 90s bonney sse. he starts hard on the throttle, trying to make sure id look over, and while i was aware of him revving his engine, al i could really hear was the sever rattle coming from awful speakers. i eased forward, as did he, and of the line,w e both spun, him hard. i began to pull ahead as i went into second, and i hard a cracjking noise, and as i looked up, i could hear him really stretching gears, and then came the loud pop, and smoke billowed out from under the car, and the sides. i stayed into it, and pulled away, and he immeadiately pulled over. smoke still pouring out. so i turned around, and went back...he had drifted it into a gas station, and was kneeling, looking under it, so i stopped, and asked him if everything was ok. now keep in mind, there wa enough smoke that when i stopped, i got out and brought my fire extinguisher with me, only after parking, what i felt, was a safe distance away. as i got closer, he stood up,a nd i asked if everything was ok, and he said, "yeah, it just started elaking oil, im not sure why..its never done it before. hey nice car." i said thanks, and asked him if he was sure evrything was ok, and as i walked back to my car, the girl in the civic comes rolling along, pausing as i got into my car, and motioned for me to follow her, so i did. we went back out onto the 5 lane road, and i followed her around for a bit until we got into the clear, approaching a stop light, and i got next to her, and she said, "id like another shot" i nodded, and smiled, and began easing forward, as did she. this time we launched about even, but as i went for second, i heard her do the same, and fail. she dropped off instantly, and i coudl hear her struggling to find second gear as i rapidly pulled away. of course...about a mile and a half down the road, she came blowing past me and gave me the thumbs up. so i then started to actually head home, and as i got to the last stoplight before my house,. a bright yellow 430 modena (id seen it before, he owns a huge exotic car dealer in the area) pulled up next to me, and was starring at me, so i turned my stereo off, and turned to him, and said, that car is sick. he nodded and replied with "thank you...wanna run?' i said no thank you...
the light turned green...and by the time the cloud of tire smoke had cleared, he was nearly out of site. when he launched, i have to admit, i came off hard also but i hit my limiter because his car was so loud, i couldnt hear my engine, and i was so mezmorized by the car, i didnt watch my tach.
ferraris are awesome.

RE: 2 in a day
i know this is dodge forum blasphemy, but i drove an SRT4 thursday, and while ive not driven a modena, id have to say, even with the difference in price, if i had my choice, and the cash, id be driving the modena.
my mirada is damn near as fast as a stock viper, but i would never compare my car to a viper...
its just a matter of..well...that guy can say he owns a ferrari, and its a matter of clout.
while the SRT is much faster than my RT...its just no ferrari.

RE: 2 in a day
Apples & oranges. I think it might be more enjoyabe to say I have a Dodge SRT-4 that ran a Ferrari Modena into the dirt[sm=smiley4.gif], but I understand what your saying, I would love to be able to say that I have a Viper GTS.[sm=smiley13.gif]
