I was coming off the interstate near my old house and I got the light at the exit. I noticed a small car behind me with blue turn signals....tell-tale signs of rice. When the light turned green, I give a little "spirited" throttle and go on around the corner, which opens to two lanes. The ricer is right on my butt the whole time.
I was thinking that if I slow down a little, when the the lane opens he will try to buzz around me and take the outside lane.
Sure enough, I slow down and he jumps in the other lane. I wait until he's almost right beside me, a little black primer CRX with black wheels riding lowered suspension farting wildly away, and I nail it.
I spin a little at about 30 MPH, and jump 2+ car lengths instantly and take him for a ride up to about 65. He's a ways back and rushes up as I let off....then merges behind me as his lane ends....too wise for the flyby?

Ahh....this car is slow, but man it sure feels quick for what it is...and a lot quicker that it was.
'90 Daytona Shelby 2.5 T1 auto, no back seats, no A/C, 180 degree 'stat, open downpipe, '88 roller cam and boost a little higher than 13 with shimmed wastegate canister...

Tax check is getting big IC, and all the crap to get my Enforcer turbo on there....I can't freakin' wait!

Always fun to play with the ricers. Sounds like the new setup will make for even more funny stories.
