WHAT DID YOU LOSE TO?

Had my E55 for five years now and have won a lot more, "sprints", than I've lost. Here's the what I've lost to.

CL65 : Wasn't even close. Picked on him on the freeway at 80 mph. Bad,
bad mistake.

C6, ZO6: Another freeway spanking but not as bad as the CL65. Suspect
it may be a different result from a dig as they're hard to launch.

'03' Mustang Cobra: Belongs to a friend and is heavily modded.

Toyota Supra: Belongs to my attorney and is wildly modded. Wicked fast
and out of my class. Did it just for fun with predictable
results. Over 700 hp.

335I; Raced a few and killed them all but one. Lots of modd's I suspect
as he pulled me on the freeway by 1 to 2 cars from 80.

Porsche 911: This was an old, beat up targa I was passing on the freeway
when he dropped a gear or two and it was on. Spanked me
hard, beat me to the exit ramp so I had to follow him all the
way to my own neighborhood. Turns out the guy works at the
Porsche dealer and this was his shakedown run with his new
twin turbo hot rod toy. Haven't seen it since. Thank you.

A pretty short list for a heavy, 4-door family car. I'm sure the list could be longer but I've tamed it down a lot in the last couple of years.

CTS-V's with 550whp+.

C5 Z06 with 450whp.

Mustang GT500 with a few mods ( unknown power ).


Most other cars I've either beat or they just don't want to race the grocery getter.

1st gen stock viper gtr that jumped me while i was slowing down to give him a race. as i was manually downshifting to get ready (was trying to get into 2nd but only got to 3rd), he guns it before my foot was even on the gas pedal. when i catch up to him and tell him to honk 3 times next time, he told me it was a waste of our time because his car is too fast for me. lmao, nice kill douchebag!

Ninja bullet bike but it was so damn fun to try!!!

He went by on rear tire!

Beat some big boats before. Those luxury liner bikes are fun to kill!

Cars, none yet. If I see a TT Supra coming, I dont even try.

Guess my day is coming but so far I pick my fights to protect my ego.

Tried to chase down a yellow TRD widebody Supra and Dark Blue Murci that blew past me at what I can only imagine was between 180 and 200mph and failed.

Was informed by a friend/member here that he not only knows both cars, that he'd been with the owners earlier that day before they left his part of town.

1500hp in the supra, and the Murci was the UGR car seen here:

I picked a bad day to try and play with the big boys.

1992 Honda Civic, it was stock and not in the best condition. At the lights he was revving and taunting me, someone must have told him 55s are slow off the line . Anyways so my radar detector went off, I didn't race but he got to around 55 mph in a 40 mph area and yes I saw him getting pulled over. The ticket was probably more than the car.
