Yes, you heard it right. ;)

Let me set the scene...

It's 85 degrees, BEAUTIFUL sunny day, a very light breeze enough to keep you from sweating. I'm wishing I had a Targa top at the moment, but windows down and going for my daily cruise is good enough for me.

As I'm turning onto one of the long stretched side roads that's parallel with a main road, still 4 lanes wide...I'm in the left lane just'a'chuggin' along going about 40mph. Pulling out of a small side street on the left of me, I was struck to see a short-stubby nosed front end about 2 inches off the ground!

I hear a high pitched "wahhh-wahhhh" sound as he slowly creeps out behind me. Older gentleman, probably in his 50's, pulls out in a mid to late 80's Lamborghini Countach. This thing is MINT. :love: I'm thinking, "What a BEAUTIFUL car with uber wide wheels on the back and that high pitched V12 rumble.

The roads are completely open, hardly a residential area, 4 lanes wide, it's a beautiful day,.............why not? :naughty: I put it down in 2nd just to prepare for the worst :biglaugh: and as the turbo spools a bit, he glances over and gets a HUGE smile on his face. He had the look on his face like, "Please fool, I know all about your BHG" type of smile, so, before I had my turbo fully spooled, he smashed it in 1st and passes me about half a car. My car had shifted into 1st as I had slown down to about 20mph...So I *STRANGELY* find myself hanging with this thing! We get up to maybe 75-80mph before I'm nose to nose with this thing and I REALLY wish I would've had the oppourtunity to see his face, but I backed off quick as his V12 rumblin' ass chugged on by me.

I later did some research to find out it was only a 13 second car...

But hey, :naughty: ,It's not every day you can put a man to shame with his $100,000+ exotic vehicle. :D

I have a strong distaste for lambos. I LOVE how they sound, absolutely HATE how they look, so this kill earns you some bonus points from me.

There's actually a diablo around here, I kinda wish my jz-gte could hang with that cause the guy's a real ass.

Great job Jeff. I wish you had stayed in it a little longer, but he may have started to pull on you the faster you got. I don't really know anything about them, but it seems like a v12 would run better the longer you stayed in it. Great story anyways. I'm just glad you didn't have to take him out with your flying ninja turbo.......................lol

Thanks, Duane. :)

aphxero - I agree to disagree. :) That's not so true anymore. Don't get me wrong, it's a hell of a car, amungst the name, the design, luxury and motor design are all amazing, but your definition of *stock* is very vague...

However, those cars just weren't meant for the quarter mile nor acceleration.
If we would've caught eachother on the highway, I'm sure I would've saw those Italian taillights and uber wide wheels. ;)
