We are both at the red light. In front. I knew it was my time to shine. The wind blowing my hair. My tunes shouting at him "Thunder strike!! Dun Dun Dun Dun Dun" Man was I feeling good about this one. I reved my wicked high performance stock 2.0 SOHC Neon. Intimidating the shit outta him. Reaching for the shifter I put it into "D". I could tell he was scared. He thought I had something under the hood. I look over at him. Giving him the eye. He looks at me, and laughs. And revs his sissy little 10 cylinder. Pfft...that all you got? We both see the light turns yellow on the other side. Getting ready for the launch. I figure I will have at least 3 cars on him by the time I hit 3rd in my 3 speed automatic tranny. GREEN!! GO! I get off the brake and slam the gas. Wind flying by at at least 35 mph by now. Looking at the speedo slowing reach 60. I look up to see how far ahead I am. And WTF he is over 5 cars ahead? Since when did Lamborghini Murcielago LP640's get so damn fast? I mean I have the same doors he does. That means I should be as fast as him right? I went to my girls and cried myself to sleep.















This is the car I raced. Not the exact one but still. You get the idea. Not many get the chance to full out race a lambo but I got too! :) Bright ass blue. Oh man was she pretty. I myself think that the Lambo Murc Roadster is the most beautiful car ever made. But this was damn close. I originally saw it at a bar. Stopped and just checked it out. The owner comes out and lifts the door up for me and revs it. Sounded like no other car I have ever heard. The things I would do to own or drive..hell just ride in that car. Simply amazing. I have never seen a lambo on the road before so it was def a treat.

Its amazing you saw a car like that on the streets of SEWI, Geneva Lakes I'm guessing ? Pretty awesome looing automobile.
Also pretty sure 1 ton trucks with V10's will also beat the neon won't they ?

Nope. Saw this one in Paddock lake. Just off HWY 50. I live in twin lakes so. We "raced" from a stop light to the actual entrance to paddock lake where it drops down to 35. He turned and went into a gas station. I was SHOCKED to see it too. I have seen a couple different ferraris and things on the freeway. But never one upclose like this where I could actually check it out and hear it run and all.

And pretty much ANY thing on the road will beat my neon haha. I got so much stuff. It is slow as balls!! haha


Cobra: Thanks haha. I love writing stories like this. Always fun to write. Funny was this one was 100% true. Cept for the thinking I would win and all hhahaah.

beautiful cars, kinda lacking under the hood as far as hp output goes. Most any supercar will walk all over it, including ford gt's

It is actually like inbetween paddock lake and Lake Geniva. Just a little south of 50. So you are going right next to it/through it everytime you take that route.

Yup. I ussually buy all my grocerys at the super walmart just in Geneva. I have yet to do any cruising around there but I plan to for sure. Very busy place. I live like 10 min from there so it is really close. You cruise there often? Any good? Cops a pain?

They might give you some trouble since your cars about a pubic hair off the ground. but don't bump your system in the downtown cause they have cops on foot walking around. so they will just walk up to you and yell.

I used to in the past hang out there alot. but the kids from that town are too serious about racing. They honestly take the fun out of it. They live in a town of 5000 people yet they act like they are from chicago when it comes to racing. but i'm about 5-10 min from there as well. if i see your car out there ever i'll give you a shout.

Ah shit I completely forgot about that show. Looks like an awsome show but my budget would just not support that long of a drive and having to get a hotel for the night. Plus food, admission fees, etc. Just not in my budget right now sadly.

If someone gave me one of those exotics, (lambo, ferrari, etc....) it would be used for one thing only: I would sell it and use the money to buy more Camaros. Beauty and value are in the eye of the beholder. To me, personally, it would just be a means to a much happier end.
