    Poor Enzo.....just smoked another Ferrari

    Firstly I asked Eric to change my screename from thcakid to gmbh6........he almost got it right

    Now, for the kill.

    Driving home from work...weaving throught traffic and about 2 miles from home a 360 Modena Ragtop pulls up 2 car lanes over. I lose him in traffic but he pulls up behind me at a red light.

    That red light is Hawthorne Blvd.

    Two cars in front of us.

    I rev the engine a bit to let him know I'm not an E55 owner .......I'm ready to play.

    Light goes green and I ease out and wait for scooby doo and scooby dumb to give us a lane. They do. And we go.

    Naturally I'm ahead, so it kind of turns into a boat race. I do however, keep a close eye on him so I can gauge how far ahead I am before he hits full throtle.

    He hit it so now I keep my eyes on the road and the upcoming curve. I noticed before I hit the curve that I pulled ahead even more.......then I lose him around the curve.

    One caveat: I usually stop the race there. You see I live half way up the hill so I don't like to keep going unless someone is right on my tail......PLUS....and even more important.......IT GETS VERY DANGEROUS AT THAT POINT.........by that time I catch up to other traffice, there's a stop light, cars coming down the hill, etc.......

    So in a way it's a race to the light or about 100-120mph.......

    ....nonetheless.........NEVERFOLLOW

    Very nice.... I have been hoping to run it to one with my S4

    Walked on a 997 a few months ago.... it was really rather embarrassing... not even close... It is always fun to see the looks on people faces.

    Good one, the few I've seen NEVER want to tangle!

    Why the name change? Kinda liked the CA Kid.

    I like it too....and it served me well for many years but now it just feels a little akward since I'll be turning 255/35/19 later this year. ......get the tiger balm ready :trash:

    .....I'll think of a better name later and then I'll trouble Eric yet again.

    Hey, 35 IS still a kid. It's ALL relative.

    Just got back from another day at the track at New Hampshire Intl Speedway.

    Highlights: 997 C2S couldn't shake me during an encounter during one run; a MB E55 pointed me by all day

    While we can certainly chaulk up a lot of it my familiarity with the track, it still really is amazing what our beasts can do and what crowd we can run in.

    Next stop, Mont-Tremblant for the ACNA Nationals. Anyone else going to be there?

    '03 RS 6 (Avus/Silver/NAV/Rear Side Airbags) --gone but not forgotten
