Default my gsr v. escort zx2... take a guess...

so i'm cruisin along on the highway the other night, comin home from work, when this queer in a for escort zx2 approaches. i could see his fake blue hid healights swerving in and out of traffic a ways back, and he finall caught up with me and rode my ass for a while. he finally swerved over next to me and looked over at me. btw, he had a body kit installed, probably DIY because it was crooked as hell, and it was kind of loud so im guessing either a bolt-on muffler or just an exhaust leak. (i couldnt really see, it was dark). anyway, he looked over at me, got on the gas and let off a couple times, while i had a good chuckle. he hit the gas hard (i heard his leak) and thought he was pulling away. thats when i downshifted to fourth (unnecessarily) and really embarrased him. he was sowned: .ahhh yea, monday night street racing, good times.

here's a tip... if you're in any kind of american econo-sedan, dont try to race a honda/acura with a b,f,h, or k series motor from a rolling start... you'll just end up going home unsatisfied.

I saw a ZX2 run 12.80s at Palmdale. Not my favorite car, but that's not something you see every day...

I dont doubt the speed of a well tuned zx2 or any ford sedan, but if you lived in my town and saw the quality of the pos fords here, you would think the same thing. And if i owned a trans am or any other Ls1 i would think the same thing about tegs.h:
