Nothing like a good race to jolt you in the morning.

I guess I instigated when he tried to go into my lane to overtake an XJR turning right; I didn't let him and since then he's been on my a$$ until we got to the highway (635 East). Once we got to 635 he overtook me and, like a chick showing me her *****, I followed. From 5th, I dropped to third, placing me in the RPM sweet spot. I quickly gained on him and we were side by side for 10 seconds, then I WOT. Got a 2 max-car-length lead until we hit some traffic. It cleared then he then made his move again. I followed him, gained, lined side by side and blasted him with at least 3 max car length(?) lead until he exited. Tried to make eye contact but he never did. Not much of a challenge though.

I did realize something that during the race that I cut off a bunch of people to get to that guy and I almost clipped another car's rear bumper. It's a good thing I don't do this everyday.

 

What are you mods? Auto or 5spd?

 

Sorry but I couldn't resist Maximawanabee said "From 5th, I dropped to third, placing me in the RPM sweet spot."

 

Man am I an idiot. I read that part and still didn't process it.

 

Don't worry we would have taken the SVT Coutour with our Automatics as well.

 

That's for SURE!!!

 

I HATE A CONTOUR even though i used to have one best et:14.1 but the tranny blew on me twice hehe POS ford ive been in a max for a year now and aint ever goin back to a ford and even just last month the guy that bought my contour from me tried to race me he had no chance he got blown off the highway...

 

I know how you feel. I had a Contour (SE V-6).. Darn thing spent more time in the shop than on the road it seemed (8 recalls, warped rotors at 26K, etc, etc). Ditched it last Nov for the Max.. On eof the best moves I ever made (car-wise anyway)...
