So, Since my car has been dead for awhile, I've been driving my dads wagon around... It's a 1996 Chevy Caprice Classic wagon, with an LT1, and a 9" cone filter on it....Weighs in at 4600lbs...

So I was at Wal-mart, about 2 weeks ago, and there were a few ricers grouped up in the parking lot, that I had to walk by to get to my car. As I was walking past, one of them said "I'll race anyone here, and beat them."

So I asked which car was his, and he pointed to his little Honda Civic. I told him I'd race him, but he wanted to race for money. All I had was $20s so I bet him $20 that I'd beat him.
Then he wanted to know what car I drove, so I pointed over to the Grandma Wagon.

He laughed, and I quote "If I win, just give me the $20, but if you win, I'll give you $50"...Followed by more laughing from everyone.

We pulled out onto Hwy 17, going north. (It's totally deserted once you're past Wal-mart for a few miles) We got up to the traffic light, and waited.

It turned green, and we both took off. He got about a car length ahead of me immediately, before I really started moving.
At about 25 he still had a car on me, or so.
At 40 I was starting to close the gap...
At 55-60ish I was about dead even with him, but pushing past.
At about 75, I had about a car length on him, maybe a little more.

I shut down at 80ish, with about 1.5-2 car lengths on him. Then he gave me the flyby...

We went back to the parking lot, where we agreed we'd go, and pay up.
I hopped out of my car, waiting for my money... He and the car that followed us (guess to watch and see who won) pulled up.
And the guy driving the Civic started talking ****... "Oh my car lost boost in 2nd, then I missed 3rd gear"

So it has to be turbo'd right??? Well it was...one of those Ebay Electric turbos....
He wouldnt pay the $50 he said he would...but I did get $20 out of him....made my night..

Found his car the next day in a parking lot, so I had to snap some pictures...it's a real work of art..Even body gap is different.




Oh, and the whole missing a shift, I looked in the car...and its an automatic...
