Default raced a sion tc (pretty ugly loss)

alright so i always see this silver tc around my neighborhood driving aggressively, sounds like he has an intake and exhaust at least. the problem is im always driving my xb since it is my daily driver when i see him. so this same guy pulls up next to me at a red light yesterday when im driving my weekend car (05 ponitac gto) and revs up on me. i was kind of surprised and i hardly ever race a car i know is not a fair race but since i always see him driving like an ___ i took the time to put him in his place. light turned green, i gave him a small head start and then proceeded to blow by him like a damn freight train lol. and i didnt even get out of first gear which was even funnier. now im not hating on tc's or saying that all tc drivers are a-holes, and i even tried telling him to pull in to the next shopping center so we could chat but he ignored me and turned off the street. sorry for the long post btw

Sounds like he's just a moron for revving on a GTO.

BTW... street racing (in any gear) is bad.

I for one, actually love the new Goat. One of the cool things about it is that it's actually rather low key. The styling is such that it doesn't really stand out too much (especially the ones without the hood scoops). I wouldn't really call it a sleeper, but anyone that doesn't know what it is could easily mistake it for being "random Pontiac".

Despite the understated (and non-retro, thank god) styling, I'm very surprised they aren't selling better than they are. You talking about a little over the price (before dealer cash/haggling) of a Mustang GT or Evo for a 400hp beast. It's like a Vette with a backseat.

yeah the car is really nice, especially the interior, and the reason you wont see a gto everywhere is because they are a limited production car brought from australia and pontiac doesn't really make any money on them. its also great because cops dont really pay attention to them around here.
