Kill Stories

[Purple440]

Is there a Kill Stories topic in this forum?  There is one in cuda-challanger and it's a blast to read  I don't see an area for that, would that be something anyone would like?...I know I would.

I'll start....       hows this ?    I got my ass handed to me by an F430 Ferrari the other night while driving my boss's Superbird around...

Before I put the 440 in my 68 I got beat by a 86 t/a yes the knight rider style and he only had a 305 but my 383 was only running on 7 cylinders and  the number 7 piston was all pieces in the oil pan

I smoked my brother in laws Crown Vic w/a police interceptor in my 318 Charger this last weekend.

Back in 2003 when I just bought my Charger I smoked a 1970 Mustang. I beat him both from a standing and rolling start... The Mustang owner didint believe me, when I told him, that the engine in my ride at the time was this tired 400cid "smogger" engine...

I do hope to share some more "Kill stories" once I have the Hemi securely mounted into the engine bay of my ride...

PS. Yes, I have another one. A 1970 Chevelle got "Owned" at the 1/4mile track. My 440 was running on only 6 cylinders, camshaft was busted, al piston pins stuck... My time slip was 13.001sec... It would have been in the 12´s but I had to let off the throttle cause the engine sounded like it would tear it self appart...

1.  Raced a 70 Monte Carlo up Route 1 in Massachusetts and smoked him bad in my 68 383 Charger.  When he caught up to me at the next stop light, he yelled out the window 'It burns oil !!!' and cut a right on red and took off.  I thought it was pretty funny.

2.  Was sitting at a light enjoying the rough idle of my tired 383 when 3 younger guys in a primered 8 Cylinder Dart pull up with music cranked and start revving the engine.  Never looked over and when the light changed I stabbed the gas and the ass end swung out toward the Dart (Surprised the hell out of me), took my foot out of it and stabbed the gas again and she snapped straight and I never looked back.

3.  Not a kill story, but amusing nevertheless.  Was driving a friends 87 Grand National down Rt 6 on Cape Cod and came up on a slow station wagon.  Waited for oncoming traffic to clear.  Hammered the gas which wound up the Turbo and ended up passing about 7-8 cars at once.  After we were back in line I took my foot off the pedal and it took several seconds for the needle to come down off of the pin at the end of the Speedo.  (Car did not have digital display).  Very fast car.

not a dodge story but funny still the same, I was in my 57 nomad, 327, balanced, ported and anything else I could do. stopped at a stop light one night,when a V8 powered vega pulled up and started reving up. I dropped my tranny into low(automatic by the way) I had one of thoughs B@M quick klik shifters and thoght I would try it out. anyway when the light turned green we took off, neck and neck, I grab 2nd, still neck and neck, then I grab for 3rd, only I didn't have the shifter adjusted right and accidently thru her into reverse. that vega must of thought he had NOS  I came to a screeching halt and couldn't stop laughing for hours. I really felt stoopid  car was fine, went home and wanted to change my name.  TK

I used to run in a '79 Toyota 4X that we stripped down to a race truck with a Chev 355/350 combo. Spent some coin on the combo and was pushing 400 ponies. Man did that truck lite em up. It had a narrowed Ford 9 inch with 4 ft. ladder bars, etc. Some clown in a '66 rustang with no hood pulled up to me at a light on Ward Parkway (KCMO) and must have heard my exhaust, so he blapped his engine and when the light dropped, I blew his hoodless ass into the weeds. He caught at the next light on 55th Street and flipped me off! After that, I started racing it on Wed. nights at KCIR.

I gotta tell ya, using the term "kill" for winning a car race is unbelievably lame.     Let's put this in perspective. A fighter plane shooting down another aircraft is a kill. A submarine putting a torpedo into an enemy vessel is a kill. A Marine or a soldier taking out a muj is a kill. But winning a car race? C'mon. 

Note that there is no lecture here about street racing. I've won plenty of races but I would not classify any as a "kill."   

Troy, I hope you maintain the high quality of this board and not stoop the the level of other boards...not by censoring stories about races, but by calling a race a race and a win a win.

Thanks for looking out for us and the quality of the board. Maybe you should go over to Moparts? It's a family friendly site that I am sure you will enjoy. See ya over there!

Good stories so far, I'm sure there are a ton more!  (you raced a Ferrari?  )

I should have posted this in the Site Suggestions area.  Would an admin move this over there? 

Thanks,
