Something in the air?

I dont know what it is but I have people are getting froggy with their diesels recently. Yesterday I was minding my own buisiness and I see a duramax in front of me with a 6" tip, I figue oh crap that must be pretty quick. I get into the lane next to him and he takes off. Of course there was a car in front of me so I dont do anything, I got around that car and pull even next to him and hammer it! HA I walked away from him in 4th from like 40-65mph. Then today I pull up next to a harley 6.0 with bully dog badges all over and a 6" tip again! Ok I said to myself (click.... click) hehe thanks dp. We take off easy from the light to cross some rough railroad tracks and I hear his truck downshift, uh oh, I'm in 3rd around 1200 rpms. I floor it and cant see the cars behind me (his put out a lot of smoke to) He got me a little from the start cuz of the auto but I was gaining on him QUICK from 15-50 mph. The road went to one lane and he had half a truck length on me so I let out . Still my 10 year old truck is keeping up and beating a couple newer modded trucks! Oh man I need some more go fast goodies

So another short story....
A toyota spyder (i had never seen one before this) was hauling butt and weaving in and out of traffic and ended up in from of me at a light to turn onto the interstate. He took off QUICK and fishtailed a little, ok smart a$$, click.... click (see a trend going on) I floor it and stay on his tail to 90 + mph and he finally backs off and pulls into the "slow lane" haha, I get in front of him a let off a little then FLOOR it (oh ya it was a convertable).

There are so many more things I want to do to mine as well but just no time. Keep in mind I have programming for stock squirters still! I want to get a 17* hpop and intercooler in then send it off to get reburned.
