On my way back tonight from looking at my new '66 Coronet I just bought, (no I'm not a mopar fan, but the miles so low and the price so right I had to buy it) a yellow healthy sounding S-10 pick-up blows by me in my GN. He was probably doing 75 to my 50, so I did my best to catch up to him without looking to eager
As I slowly catch up, I can see his fuel pump and braided lines hanging from underneath, and his skinnies up front and fatties out back. I pull into the right lane and ride right next to him doing about 70 hoping that he would slow down a little, but he gives it two quick blips of the throttle and we both hit it. I pull on him rather quickly which surpised me because of how this thing looked and sounded. I kept waiting for him to hit the NOS or somthing but it never happened. We reach town, and as I'm at the light behind him (another car is beside him) I can hear his rumpy idle and the high stall coverter as he leaves. At the next light, I am beside the S-10 we both take off at the green. Before I get through 2nd gear it's over. I back off 'cause I already have 2 cars on him and pulling away easily.
As he does his fly-by, I look in my rearview mirror and see a ricer trying to make his way up to me. Luckily, we both catch the next light. I try to make out what kind of rice it was but only saw a red R next to the emblem. The light was already changing so I didn't have time to see it, though the car looked Maxima or Altima like. This was over before my car even shifted into 2nd gear. I was running about 17 psi of boost on 93 Sunoco (thanks power plate) and it was about 30 degrees outside. Either my GN was running real strong tonight, or both those things were real dogs. (I expected that out of the rice, but the S-10 had me a little concerned). Also took the GSX out earlier to the 1st cruise night of the season, and there were 2 GN's and 2 T's there. Not bad for only about 100 cars or so.
