This is the true story pulled from todays files of 2.7 Geezer. I am heading back from coffee run. M3 man pulls up alongside and rev's it a little. I casually look over cause' I am relaxed and in slow mo'. I thought he was playing around because his 3 year old daughter (guess) was in the back seat bopping around (no car seat but to each his own).

Light turns green and he takes off. Carbon burnoff - gee thanks. I juice it and stay with him for about 3 seconds and then lift off. He just keeps on going. My top speed = 40 mph (posted 35) his 80+ estimated. I knew I would catch up to him because it this particular road turns into one lane and traffic always slows down to about 25 mph.

I catch up to him and he keeps letting space get in between himself and the car ahead. Then he downshifts and shoots up to the back of the car ahead. He does this all along the beach road.

We both turn off on the road that takes you to the one shopping center in the middle of town. He is constantly zooming forward the slowing tailgating this poor girl in a Jetta. M3 man is going to be stuck behid her all the way into the main road because we are on a two lane winding road.

I turn off on a side road which is less traveled and is basically my secret shortcut to the shopping center. My top speed 30 MPH. These two roads intersect about 1/2 mile before the shopping center and I look for him at this intersection. I see him in my rear view mirror stuck behind traffic and I cruise on down to the shopping center, turn in and get out.

Low and behold here comes M3 man still revving(it did sound nice-his car was nice and clean too) and he pulls into the same parking lot. He glares at me like I have committed some crime. I smirk and he looks away. He felt because he had blown me away at the light that he had first dib's on the parking lot I guess.

So, my 2.7T whooped the hell outta the M3.

Stats:

Distance - 2.9 miles
Top speed - 2.7T = 40mph / M3 = 80+mph
First Place - 2.7T
Second Place - M3 Man

BTW, this is not meant to be some pro/con commentary on street racing. I just got a chuckle out of the fact that he seemed to have "issues." If you choose to speed that is your perogative.<p>00 2.7T

Best way to win. Brains beat testosterone. I ate a Mercedes CLK430 the other day the brute force method. Overly yuppified jerk in a Merc looking to play tried me twice. Got a car length both times and held it until I lifted @ 70 or so(my limit in a 45 zone) Probably driver difference both times, scary part is I'm out of practice and didn't do a particularly good job of launching either time, just shows what skill level is out there. I havn't been to the strip in a couple of years, man I need practice.
