This happened back in October of 2004 and is not a STREET kill but I decided after all these months why not post it...
I went down to Atlanta Dragway to run the Vette a few times. It was a warm humid night and the DA was around 1500' so I was not going to run my best but I figured I was going to go have some fun. It was one of those rare nights there was not many cars staging. For reference, my Vette has ported heads, mild cam, full exhaust, but stock 2.59 rear.
I blistered quite a few cars to begin with (2005 Mustang GT, bolton 1998 SS M6, Bolton 2003 350Z). Lined up against a kicka$$Grand National that I technically "beat" but truthfully handed me mya$$(he bogged of the line bad and I had him by quite a bit at the 1/8 mile marker, then I heard the sound of a "jet engine" coming up and blasting by me like I slammed on the brakes. He was 0.1 slower on the slip...at 20 MPH faster!!). But the best kill was against a thingyy little ricer...
I noticed a cool looking SRT-4 with some tastefully done flames. I talked to the guy in the staging lane. Really cool gentleman. He had headers, catback, CAI and a 75 shot of Nitrous. He and I were running within a tenth of one another so I asked him if he would like to run. He said he would love to. I went to the tard at the staging lane (if your on this site $hithead, I am the guy in the Purple Vette you always seem to piss off everytime I am at the track). I told him I was in the Purple Vette and wanted to run the Black SRT-4 He says sure we can do that. Well low and behold we get up to the start staging and he waves the SRT-4 out and then send a Cobra to race him I roll down my window and tell this jerk that he screwed up again and he shrugs his shoulders :bang: . I lean back in my seat and hear out the window "Hey man!" I look over to my left and see a 18 year old kid in a new G35 with new wheels and exhaust. When he sees me turn he says "I got a hundred dollars." I say "No man, you'll probably beat me :eyes: " He says "Come on man, run me for a hundred dollars" I shake my head and say "No thanks". He lets out a "Hmph!!" Like I was not worthy to run him or something. That pissed me off. Well, I go up to stage and look who is in the lane beside me..mister G35. I decided fu(k it and am going to put this kid in his place. We line up at the light it turns green and we are off. I spun really bad off the line but once I caught traction, I proceeded to put a good bus length and a half or more on this dude (whether or not it was an actual bus length is irrelevent for those concerned
). Ended up beating him by 1.4 seconds at the end. After I got my slip I pulled up and over to the side. I rolled down my window and held my hand out like I was waiting for my money 
. He just flew past me, barking thru his gears in disgust.
Sorry for the long story guys. Thanks for reading.
