New girl's race story
Hey, guys. Joined the forum a few weeks ago and have just been lurking. So much info and so little time. Anyway, just had to tell you about last Fri nite. It was my birthday (don't ask which one) and we all go out to the track to see what our cars will do. I raced a 99 firebird in my 95 SE. Me and my Max - 15.7. Him and his firebird - 16.3. He was sooo p***ed off! Not only did he get beat by a girl, but a girl in a 4-door sedan!! This was my first race ever and I really thought it would be alot closer than that. The only mods I have is the Stillen intake and an aftermarket muffler. He told me after the race that he had a chip and something else, I can't remember. He also used some octane boost. I guess that should have told me he was worried. I just took the big a** speaker box out of the trunk, lowered front tire pressure and had less than a quarter of a tank of gas. Now all kinds of guys are challenging me. Gotta get that Y pipe first. This is addicting!

Way to go - Girl-power!
What's better than a female auto enthusiast? -A female MAXIMA enthusiast! Figuratively, you gelded the poor bastard that night - any guy driving a Firebird probably already has such a fragile ego, that it must have wrecked him for days. 
Musta been the looooongest drive EVER for him back to the pits/staging & his buddies waiting & snickering away. . .
Work on that R/T & keep adding to the kills list!
Btw, welcome to the Forum.

nice, but you should be faster then that. Im almost positive im going to come off sounding like an a-hole, but i dont mean it that way.
Just a muffler, if you had a cat-back exhaust youd be quicker, also practice launching techniques. Yea its an automatic but that doesnt mean you cant do a faux manual launch using the 1st and 2nd gears.
I know your car should be faster b/c my fastest time at the track was a 15.7 and i have a 99se cali spec. Your car a 95se should be faster.
Congrats.

There were so many people there that night that I was only able to get in one run, unless I wanted to stay until midnite. Anyway, had some Smirnoff Ice waiting for me at home.RR

She drinks and races a maxima, and she knows what a y-pipe is.
Would you merry me?
By the way nice kill, maybe the Pontiac was due for a 1000 mile maintance. You know the one where they rebuild the engine, and it's good for another 1000 miles.

Almost as funny as SNL.
