Well, this happened when I was working over in Victoria, BC for a bit... (For those that don't know, Victoria is known for the place to go when people retire...) So it was quite a quiet place to work in....and they aren't cosmopolitan, so rarely do I see ricers or nice cars driving around....

Anyway, this night, crusin' in my STOCK 93 Stealth RT/TT (Please guys don't stone me....I got no money to mod my car yet....don't even have a K&N Filter.......) with my GF.

I reached a red light...and on my left was this nice black Firebird..and definitely with the Firehawk SLP package due to the exterior details it had. Anyway, in Victoria, people with nice cars have a lot of respect for each other ( not like in some places where it's all attitude)...so we looked at each other a smiled....

We started revving...and when the light went green...off we went....we were basically right beside each other until I shifted into 3rd...and I took the lead there....we were going at least 130 in a 50 zone......unfortunately we reached a red light and all fun had to end...since he went into the turning lane....

We looked at each other, gave each other the thumbs up and then drove off as the light turned green. I didn't realize this, until after but we basically only travelled one city block...(and it's not that big in victoria...) but was still amazed at the speed generated........

My girlfriend said it was cool...but lucky that cops didn't show up....
man...a ticket for 130 in a 50 zone......I'll never get any mods for my car that way......
:( :( :(

By the way, looking at the specs on that car...I didn't realize it had 345 HP and only weighs 3400....

LT1 or LS1?

Anyway, it's an LS1, since LT1's ended in 1997 I believe.
However, I've read that with the SLP package..the LS1 pushes more than the Vette's LS1...

hmmm....

But still love my Mitsubishi ...(It's not a DODGE DAMN IT!!) hehehe...

I m not waving the BS flag but that sounds pretty suspect man...I mean just look at the specs...those Firehawks are pretty tough....esp. in the wieght advantage that he has....you are sure he was racing full on? Anyway, like i said, i ain t calling bs, just curious if he was full on racing

You have to wonder how some people drive you know...I've raced a few cars in my day and just barely won cause of my All-Star shifting performance:D

Well it sure sounded like it....
we were both hitting our high revs that we usually wouldn't do if driving normally...(GAS gets sucked away into the black hole!!)

And we did have that intuition between the two of us..heheh

Average? two weeks ago i was all the way down to the gas light coming on. I put in $50 at sunoco -94 octane-. (Gas was pretty expensive, but not sure exactly how many litres that got me)......It took me exactly 320km till the light came on again.

Are you guys talking about SL's? :confused:
