Luxo Stoplight shootout


Well I was coming home from Hockey practice thi smorning minding my own business listening to Frankie singing Summer Wind waiting at a stop light to turn green.

I look in my mirror and see the bright lights of this silver car coming fast up behind me then he darts to the right beside me....a Mercedes E350.

I look ahead and in his lane about 150 feet up is a parked car. confuse

I look over and it's a guy in his mid to late thirties driving. Well Sonny, this old piece of Detroit iron known as a Cadillac Deville aint't going down easily. furious

Light turns green, I try to keep the traction control from kicking in but no luck, he grabs me by a fender, then I feather the throttle then drop the hammer and Northstar kicks down and starts to sing, I draw even,  then pull out a lead as the 32 valves and 4 cams do their job, look in mirror as he pulls in behind and the expensive silver German car becomes a tiny speck.

Detroit honour upheld.

Weren't you worried about the Ontario street racing law, which from what I've seen in the media, has been applied ridiculously outside its intent in a number on instances?

Must be a guy thing! That is SO much fun.

I remember being in the city with my 427 4 speed GP and encountering a similar situation. Some German something-or-other piloted by a youngster wearing driving gloves got educated about North American musclecars!!! To top it off, I stayed in the throttle just enough to keep him from cutting in front of me before he had to back off for the car in the parking lane!!!

NorthStars are no slouch. I have no problem dusting lots of German tanks. Good job Ray!

My buddy launched his 60 Nomad wagon (348/auto) against a guy in a Kompressor, The outcome was the same...

North American Iron Prevails!


The guy in that car wasn't impressed, at all

We aim to please biggrin

BUT of course this was not a street race at all, merely testing the acceleration capabilities of my CADILLAC strictly for safety reasons in case a situation might arise that required a WOT response for accident avoidance purposes only.
