Pulled up to a light w/ a C5, don't know what year. Wound it up to about a grand and dumped it. Had him by 1/4 to 3/4 length of my truck till maybe 50 (I forgot to pay attention), then he started leaving me so I shut down.

I tried to pass him so I could give a thumbs up, 'cause he really did beat me eventually, but he kept going a bit fast to keep ahead, and by the time I got up to him he was turning off into a supermarket.

I had my buddy in the truck (250 lbs) and I had a full-sized Defender arcade game in the back! That beast has gotta be at least 250 itself, so all in all, I had at least an extra 500 lbs on me.

Stock 01 L. Not bad. And mine is the slug that only dyno'd 310 rwhp.

I coulda swore I saw him rowing gears, but I figure there's no way I would've pulled him so long unless he was running an automatic.

 

I'm LMAO. I mean...you had an arcade game in the bed of the truck! I assume this is the upright version of that old classic game (played that all the time when I was a kid).

This is just hilarious. Honestly, I have raced a few people with stuff under my tonneau, but I have never raced anyone with something that is sticking out the bed of the truck. I would have loved to see that race.

Very sweet. I guess Defender was able to handle 0-50 in 5.xx seconds ok?

LOL! That's GREAT! I bet that Vette guy almost ***** when he looked over and saw your cargo!

 

I can't keep a straight face. Damn, a arcade machine in back. Bet when you dropped the hammer, the machine said "TILT" ... Cool story.

 

Great story. A few weeks ago, when I had a full bed load of very nice smelling Cherry wood from a tree I cut up in my yard, pulled up besides two Cobras at two different lights and got no takers. I figure the wood came in at 500 lbs. I nailed it at each light and was really suprised to get nothing for my trouble.

 

Yeah, the Defender's an old full-sized upright arcade game. I had it laying down on its side, but it poked out the top a ways. It's a tight fit w/ the tailgate up, so it didn't have an inch or two to move.

I had been moving my uprights out of storage and into my new house all day.

The guy I had w/ me has a Mustang GT and thinks he can hang w/ me. After I pulled on the Vette, I said, see? I told you can run w/ Vettes!

He said, "oh, no way."

I said, "WHAT?! What did I just do?"

"Oh, that was an older Vette."

What a dumbass. I gotta run him just for fun sometime.

 

AC great race, now you have to find him and race him without the game in the back.

I raced and beat a slowmaro the other day with my friends lawn tractor in the back. You should have seen the look on the guys face when we got to the next light. Man I love this truck.

Ha Ha, thats a classic. I bet the fella in the vette chit when you pulled him out of the hole. So what if he passed you at 50, thats "The Great American Sports Car". Lets see, a chip, lower pulley and filter and its Bye Bye Vette!!!!!

 

If anyone's interested, I plugged in the Defender and....it still works!

Wahoo!

I love that game.

Good kill.

Defender was a favorite of mine as well... I miss playing some of the older "classics". Thankfully, I can still find some places with pinball machines...

 

Don't even ask BfB to clue you in. It will turn into a debate about racing again. You know what he is trying to say. You don't need to ask.

 

Got another copy of defender I could have? Or Robotron!!
