Ok... not exactly a fair race so let's make it short..

today (saturday @ approx. 3PM) at Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach, California.

me = 2001 Ducati 996 superbike with Leo Vinci Exhaust (yellow)
him = 200X Fort GT appears to be bone stock except it's louder than usual (black)

So I stopped at the light @ Avocado, then realized a black thingy came up on my left, looked at the driver, he signaled to race, at first i was like "wtf".. then i gave him the "nod".

light turned green, he took off first and I got a fair start and 85% throttled @ first gear to avoid that unnecessary wheelie, then @ the end of 3nd gear; i look back and the fort GT was like waaaay behind..

so we stopped at the next red light @ crystal cove with cc estate on my left, the ford gt driver yelled at " jesus.. and i thought my Hiyabusa was fast, what u got there?"

i replied "stock 996 with an after-market exhaust". I added "dude this is so not a fair race, hey I've got a Ferrari 360 and you would eat that for lunch haha.. so don't feel too bad", the Fort GT driver then gave another thumbs-up, then we just cruise our way from then on...

so there, hope this story is not too boring for you fine people, just thought i would share here...

comments are welcome as usual..

Nice race. Clean and sweet, and some adrenaline rush hehe

 

he must be mad or out of his mind racing you.
I will never race a superbike, not even with a Ferrari.
cool race.

 

man i dont think i have the balls to race on a bike. nice run

 

No car is a match for a sportbike, not even a 600 bike.

 

Wow, amazing! Street racing is awesome and it makes you cooler every time you do it! I also think it's cool that you managed to mention you have a Ferrari, but like... in a totally humble way.

Of course I'm being entirely sarcastic. You seem to be a giant posing idiot, and to prove my point let's see how many boards you posted this story to:

Jesus christ, Jimmy. 9 that I can find. Why are you spamming this garbage across the face of the internet?

 

LOL somebody's been busy...

 

I find it unbelievable that you took the time to hunt down all the occurences and then list them all here. And by unbelievable, I mean very sad. It was a nice story, on CAR forums, where we like to read about things like this. So, Jimmy, thanks for posting. I am not a member of the other 8 forums, so glad you posted it here. I expect 95% of people on the other 8 forums are not members of any of the others and will also enjoy reading it.

Tangled - you have a problem mate - just ignore the posts if you don't like what they say, we are all friends here, and nobody feels the need to have a dig at what other people post, especially in the lounge of all places. Chill out.

 

That is hillarious this guy really wants the entire world to know his story

 

you are missing 3 forums.. FIND IT
