I was out one Sat. nite where all the car guys hang out and some snot-nosed punk tried to make fun of my Mustang and he had a friend that had a Honda that ran in the 11s, blah, blah and more blah. I told him that if his "friend" wanted to race, I would be more willing to race him...1/4 mile, roll from 60, top end, etc.
The next Saturday nite his buddy showed up and I pulled in just like this.
They just about busted out laughing so I laid down the challenge.
Put a hitch on his car and see just how fast it is with my trailer and bikes on it. They instantly said that it was not a fair race, the car was not built to pull a trailer,etc. I reminded them that a Hemi Dart that runs mid 8s could do it with no problem at all!
They still made excuses.
To add insult to injury, I added that my Honda runs in the really low 10s.
When I left a did a serious sideways launch and had the tires lit 3/4s of the way thru 1st gear.
One of the Mustang guys called me later and said the kid picked on another Mustang that nite on the highway and got his butt handed to him by an 04 Cobra that was totally stock.
To this day, the kid won't race my Mustang because he thinks that he might lose. And I still ask him if he got his 3 element rear wing from Office Depot!
