First off I have to say this thread is unique to you guys. I have been to a lot of forums and nobody has a thread like this. I like it.

My ride: while not an F-body, it shared the 1977 Trans-Ams powertrain.
1977 Pontiac Lemans Can Am. T/A 6.6 or 400 CI engine.
Mods: Ram Air III heads and cam, 3.90 rear, performance shift kit on the trans, headers, dual exhaust, functional shaker scoop. I have been told that it will run mid-13's in the quarter. Car visually, is completly stock except for the obvious lope from the cam. Up until this point I have never had anyone call me out to race it. I have had many a Mustang owner pull up next to me with no interest in trying me.

Anway to the race. About a week ago I was driving my 77 Lemans Can Am around town with my mom and her two sisters. My mom's sisters were visiting and I wanted to show them my car since they never had a ride in it. Anyway we come to a four-way intersection and our lane is going to merge. I normally do not go in the right lane because of this, but I guess I was not paying attention. A couple of guys pull up next to me with a 1998-2005 or so Ford Escort. Looked completely stock and the two guys in it looked incapable of tuning anything much less a car. Anyways the driver starts revving his car and I give him the "you got to be kidding look." I shouted to him that this was a bad decision he was about to make. When the light turned green I left easy and he was just keeping up with me, but our lane was going to merge. So I nailed it and just flat out left him behind us.

Now I have no idea what possesses somone to do this. Did he think that I would not take off because maybe my mom was in the car? Did he think that a big car with four people in it was slower than his Escort? When we got to the next light, neither of them would even look at us.

For some reason people w/slow cars love to race. I had to put a ford focus SVT to shame because of the same shit. Passed him almost sideways spinning in second. LOL
