Just spent a week in Edmonton. It's not even that cold yet but already too cold for me! Anyway, I was driving along 97St, a pretty busy street, and saw this FD Rx7, pearl white, big fart can, zooming along the street, closely followed by a YELLOW J-body, aka Cavalier with green neons...Hmm...They happen to catch a light together, I see the Rx7 saturating the air around it with blue tinged smoke, just sitting at the light...Hmm...I wonder if he's going to waste his gas on the cavalier.
Light finally turns green, they both take off, the Rx7 with a pretty ugly sound emanating from the fart can, and they're neck at neck...Hmm...higher HP RWD even with a lower HP FWD on a launch...Time to shift, the Rx7 starts impersonating a squid in distress. BLAT and the poor cars behind were cloaked in a James Bond quality smoke screen. Another BLAT, 3rd gear, more coughing from the cars behind them, and THEY ARE STILL EVEN! At this point I'm laughing my head off, and my wife turns to me with a confused look..."Aren't they supposed to be fast?" Soon enough the Rx& zips over to the right lane and turns off whimpering with his tail between his legs...
Moral of the story...If the car's broke, DON'T RACE IT! I probably could have taken them in the grand caravan I was driving
.
