This thread made me remember one of the coolest street races I ever had. I had my big block, 4 speed Charger. There was this blue Mercury Monterey around. No one knew the guy and my friends always said the car was scary fast. Don’t mess with it, you will lose.
One night, I was going home. Not exactly late but the roads were empty. I stopped at a red light and this Mercury appears next to me. I said to myself holy crap. No engine revving or eye contact or anything. Light went green and we both did perfect launches. I got him out of the hole and beat him by a fender. No one was there to see it. I thought no one will ever believe this.
A couple of years later I was at some party. Don’t remember why I was there or who I was with. There was a group of guys in the corner talking about cars and one guy was talking about that race. I asked what do you know about that race? Dude said I was driving the Mercury. I almost fell over. I said I was in the Charger. Dude shook my hand and said you’re the only person to ever beat me. You won that race out of the hole.
That was one of the coolest moments ever for me.

Maybe we should start a thread titled
