Talking Easiest kill ever.

I just bought my S5 NA and i'm bragging about it obviously. A guy I know insisted on racing me with his cavalier, so after a few days I accepted to take him on before my rebuild. I have a pretty long driveway up to my house, just about a quarter mile actually. Only problem is it's not a paved road lol. So we get in place and after looking at each other we floor it. The 7 just wouldn't get any traction, the wheels just spun trough each gear. Even so he didn't stand a chance, I owned him . Funniest thing is since my driveway isn't paved his car had about a quater inch of sand on it . Did I mention I have a blown seal? lol.

Phew! I thought you were trying to tell us that you were racing your car with a few chipped apex seals.

Get used to leaking coolant! Haha.

The car is sitting in my garage right now, the engine ready to be remove and overhauled next week. I might post some pic in the FC section if I ever get the time. The car has 68k on it so I'll keep it for now but I have plan for a whole new monster rotary next year...

Cavaliers do suck. There are quite a few around here that are riced out.

I tried racing one guy, but he said he was near 200 HP and didn't want to waste his time.

This was at a car meet. So, he had his hood up and showing off his awesome "mods". He had a warm air intake, a colorful oil cap, huge tach on the dash, some other misc gauges. And a huge lightning bolt across the side.

Oh, he also had a muffler and the in side looked to be like 1.25" or 1.5", the outside of the muffler was sporting a 4.5" outlet..... wtf?

Good kill though. Before I got my suspension redone (new springs and struts), I took my car up through some gravel roads around in the mountains around here and hit some really hard bumps.. lots of sliding and pot holes... LoL.
