Father vs. Son
 

Was heading back home on dundas after a game of soccer with friends around 8pm, when I saw a familiar dark red C5 corvette alone up ahead at a red light with no traffic around. I take the right lane and stop at the red light beside it, looking over only to see my old man with a huge smile on his face. He opens his window and shouts "I noticed your china car a mile away". A few seconds later he revs and his flowmasters make it sound like an absolute monster. I just gulp as I recently purchased the eclipse, it only has a stock mitsu evo3 motor swap (Before you ask Im waiting for the winter to strip it and turn it a power house). I also noticed him deactivating the traction control system. That made me more nervous:hypnotize . I lightly rev hoping awd will give me enough traction to keep with him on the launch.......how wrong I was. Light turned green, some wheel spin from the vette, and he was gone. Off the launch I was trailing by a small margin, but when his tires bit down, he was gone. He just kept pulling away as if I was going in slow motion. I got totally owned :loser:. He slowed down and when I came up beside him, he was laughing histarically. So was I. I gave him a thumbs up, and we cruised all the way home together.
But even though I got totally smoked. I still had a great big smile on my face, and so did my dad:lol_hitti . I guess the point of this story is, no matter what your age is, cars can always bring people together. Me and my dad have always been close, and this will be one of those moments in my life I will never forget :smilie_da

I agree bud... No matter ur age you cars bring out the kid in all of us

illegal street racing always brings people together :rolleyes:

Cool story.

I can't wait to pull up next to my old man in his minivan. :haha:

It's good to have parents involved in your car obssesion, my dad has helped out with some stuff from time to time.

hahaha:lol_hitti stealth makes me laugh so hard all the time.. ur a joker

I agree so much with this statement. My dad and I have never got along, the only thing we agree on is drag racing!

Well to be fair to your Dad, if my son drove a turbo Dodge, I wouldn't talk to him either...

i agree:loser:

Touche, even though I said that was the only reason we talked. You still have a valid point, I would excommunicate my kid too if that were the case.

oh lol this thread is so jokes.

Surprisingly, my Dad is still talking to his Festiva driving son. Then again, my Dad thinks chess is cool.

Yeah, and my dad sings in his church's choir and is on the worship team :loser:

:retard:

lol. pump up the eclipse then take him on again show him what a china car can do. lol.

awww some nice son father time

Tune up your car man.

And post sum pix!

True, Me and dad talk all the time about his days racing his baracuda and his Fury's

would have to agree there...
good race b:thumbsup:

Lol, i hope my dad never wants to race my dsm vs his gsxr1100 *runs n' hides*

awesome story...now u need a "china car" that'll smoke the vette and ur good to go.

He doesn't need a new car :nono: , just some more mods.

Slowboy Racing 50 trim just installed :smilie_da

"china car" I like that..haha. Up the boost and cause some trouble...hehe.

right on, my dad has an 02 stang and its his baby. too bad its gonna get fisted 20 ways from sunday when we both bring our cars back on the road this year, lol.

he even got involved in my turbo project, i was doin some work and he came out and despite telling me to sto pwastng money he helped out, lol, maybe he was jt tired of seeing the car taking up garage space lol

haha cute story lol

Well, thats a start! I hope you have the supporting mods to be able to make use of that turbo. It takes a lot more than just slapping on a turbo to make you fast.

Now if you only knew that Slowboy gets their turbos from Kinetic Motorsports in BC, you would've been able to save a couple $100.

haha.

Oh, Ive got the supporting mods....lol
6 bolt swap with wiseco pistons 0.04" over and eagle rods, pte 880cc injectors, fmic, walbro 255, act 2600, devilsown meth kit, etc..

Now if only I could get the car back together by June:loser:

Awesome story dude :)

u guys all make me laugh my dad drives a nissan maxima and it would prolly spank most civics with swaps and everything it s 3,5 and runs a 14 sec quarter..lmao

thats cool, i wish i can do that too
