Just remembered I didnt post a couple of kills I made in the Mark before I wrecked it...

A guy i sorta knew, and saw him around town a lot had a black Grand Prix GT, and a kid that he knew had a riced out lime green eclipse with a black hood and a wing... yeah thats exactly right... THAT movie... but this car was a pile.

Anyway, I was visiting a friend who had just got off of work in the parking lot of a grocery store, and he pulled up in the GPGT, and then the D-bag pulled up in the eclipse... both stock turds and I knew it. Yet they were both running their mouths to me saying they could beat the big old Grandpa's car... I said, "Oh really?" and reached in and turned the key to fire it up...

"would you care to back that up now?"

both of them looking very surprised still thought that they could take "the old grandpa's car"

So we get out on the highway, and the boy in the eclipse wants to race the GPGT first... GPGT walks the eclipse like it was sitting still, and of course in typical ricer fashion he claims he wasnt in the right gear and all that other crap... so since the GPGT is ahead, I go ahead and bust the Azz of the little eclipse effortlessly and move on to the GPGT... We were yelling to each other from our windows and he claimed he could get to 120 first...

Bwuhahahahaha!!

I said, well okay we'll go from the 60-roll... 3 beeps and I had my foot mashed to the floor... the Mark upshifted and just walked right past him. I stayed in it to about 135 before I let out of it. But at that time, the headlights were just dots...

Silly kids and their toys... wasnt even a fight.
 
YEP!!!! if it would only quit freeeekin raining in Ohio!!! The darn car might sink in the driveway before I can finish it!!
 
LOL, I watched some punk kid in a LS get his ass tore out by a guy in a new mustang V6 today, made me smile :)
 
I'll share my stories when the statute of limitations is over :p

Now I gotta keep it off the streets (well, except for one street out in the middle of nowhere that's almost as safe as the strip.)
 
Must have been ear to ear grins in your car ;) The mark is a freaking animal from a roll!

Pretty much... more like a big ole Cheshire cat smile hahaha!

That car just amazed me... I mean, in the heat of summer right off the street it was running 15.0's-14.9's... and my nearly stock '94 GT runs 14.9's after needing to cool off, and needing drag radials!!
 
I feel like my Mark is really slow & heavy. I wouldn't even dare race anyone because I'm embarrassed to loose! Especially since my Mark wears those Cobra badges on the fenders. Wish it could somehow shed some weight!
