Dear rednecks in 4x4's......

........Please stop trying to outrace us at intersections when me or my wife is driving the 2008 Impala SS!!!!!!

You're making yourself feel like real tools. We can tell. We can see the "Oh shit!" look on your faces as we leave you in the dust.

Thank you. Please continue........

Heeheehee...

I like tooling people with my little 4-cylinder; but 80% of the time it's only because they aren't paying attention when the light changes.

In all seriousness though, I'm constantly amazed at how many people in those fast little cars can't shift worth a damn. If I can get to speed (I'm not going to race, I like my clean-record insurance rates, thanks) off the line faster than an anything GT in my 13-year-old Ranger, then you need to go practice your gear changes.

Don't even play that game with rednecks. Just leave them be. Let them get the ticket. That way, they'll be back a few bucks so they can't put anymore horrific modifiations like monster truck tires on their rumbling piles of crap trucks.

That's assuming the policeman behind you pulls over the right car. I was driving a rental Caddy one day, very new with anti-slip traction control. When the light turned green, the idiot to my right, in an old van, spun out trying to get ahead of me. However, I managed to stay ahead of him, without breaking the speed limit, and without any effort. But the officer pulled me over almost imediately because I had "spun out" at the light. I explained it was the van, and they realised their mistake. Had I thought of it I would have mentioned the anti-slip traction control that made spinning out impossible. Oh well, it ended OK for me.

Quite a few "GT" cars would be an utter joke in actual racing, and many "standard" vehicles (like pretty much any I4 Civic) can comfortably beat them in a fair drag.

My dad won a $50 bet with a guy in college that he could outrun his 409 on foot. Of course, the race was only fifty feet, and dad was a Physics major. Mass and momentum tricks literally FTW!
