Heheh, I actually got into my first drag race today, it was like clash of the entry-levels :)

2.4l HHR vs. late nineties Civic with clear front corners, "euro" taillights, and an "exhaust". I won by half a car, slowed, looked over, and was met with a sheepish grin from the passenger of said Civic. Cursed myself for instantly dropping at least .1 MPG off my average. :red:

I'm not really into street racing (if you could even call what I did that), but I just bought her, and had to do it at least once... I haven't raced a person on the street since I owned an MR2 turbo 5 years ago.

I don't expect anyone to care, and am NOT trying to brag. (I actually only raced him till 65mph on a 55mph road) To quote everyone's favorite phrase, "It is what it is!"

Good to know our 2LTs can hold their own sometimes! :one:

It's not always about speed, sometimes it's just for the thrill. From an old 60s street racer... it's always a thrill.
