Who's trying to race you?

[Paul's stable]

How do they know if I was or wasn't a former operator? I didn't tell them that.

Where I live when they run your history they can tell if you work in law enforcement somehow.

Who is trying to race me.....stupid people, but then that's almost another subject.

Something funny came to mind while reading this thread. I'm running an ecoboost now, but I also have a 6.7 super duty, and I swear every other diesel that pulls up wants to race another diesel. They'll usually cruise next to me for about 100 yards then roll coal off. My trucks got alot of miles on it and I've already got a lift pump going out so I'd rather not embarass myself...

but the funny part is I had a 2008 F350 prior, with the 6.4L, on 37's with a hot tune, and lemme warn you, you're in for a good treat. 6.4's are no joke. I knew I could blow the doors off alot of cars, but generally speaking I avoided it, I prefer to stay out of trouble.
Save for this one silly 4.6L Mach 1 that kept egging me on for 4 intersections. Revving his engine, lurching, the works. Well, finally I had enough of him. It was the last light for about a quarter mile, I built some boost and let her rip. The worst part was his exhaust was so damn loud, and I had left my window down. He stuck with me for about 30 yards but I walked him hard after that. He tucked tail and turned off at the next intersection, but my ears were ringing so hard, I pretty much regretted the whole ordeal. I know beating a 4.6 isn't really bragging rights, but theres a certain irony to this because I feel like the mustang crowd is probably the biggest offender of trying to race on the streets. Particularly the older 4.6 crowd. I've never seen a fox body with something to prove, and I think most folks know not to mess with one lol.

I'm trying to get anyone to race me. Finally got the stage 2 Whipple installed now along with the other mods I've had done and new drag radials. The car made 736 on the dyno on pump gas and it feels faster since learning and using octane booster. The only joy I get is when someone tailgates me and I leave them so quick, when I look back and hit the brakes I see a distant image that I can barely make out to be a front end.

In two cases, I've been pulled over. Both times I was wrong; Speeding and Rolled a stop. Both cases, the Officers were professional. In each case, received a warning only. In fact, the Trooper who pulled me over for speeding was a former Marine. We had a pleasant discussion (See target). In the end, LEO's are doing their job and should be treated with respect.

If your state does so, get the "veteran" endorsement on your drivers license. Saved me from half a dozen speeding tickets so far. Not to mention free entry into a lot of parks.
