I've been thinking about going to stacks, but now am second guessing myself. I usually try to take it easy on the throttle in situations like this, but on this day...well, read on! I smoked a ricer the other day going through Calgary. No, I didn't beat him off the line(pulling a 7000lb camper at the time), and no, I didn't plant my bumper in the big honkin' woofers in his back seat. Traffic was on the heavy side, although not rush hour, and weather was nice. This 'dude' was hot doggin, weaving in and out of traffic, cutting people off, etc. At stop lights, his 'ya-ya' music was cranked so loud, the spare change in the well of my door handle jingled. Not only that, but at the lights he'd stand on the pedal, revving that little chainsaw through his soup-can tailpipe. I was peaved at this little turkey, and I could tell most others were too, by the way they were glancing at him, scowling, and looking in their mirrors. Well, as it turned out, all his hot-doggin' didn't get him anywhere, cause at a light a ways down, I was about 2 lengths ahead of him. Anyway, when the light turned green, I got moving in first, shifted to second, got to about 1750RPM, and then went to third, which brought my revs down to about 1300. Timing was perfect, as when I went into third, his drivers window was right by my pipe.(Do you know where I'm going with this?) You guys with bombed standards, should know what happened next! I popped the clutch, and hammered my baby to the floor. With the low revs, and slow turbo, she belched about 3 seconds of jet black smoke. Well, wind and air currents must have been perfect, cause the smoke went straight into his open drivers window, filled his 'cabin', and started exitng the passenger window! The look on this guys face was priceless! It was one of shock, which soon turned to one of anger! All I can say is, I'm glad my windows were closed, cause I'm sure I'd have learned some new words! He was shaking his fist, giving me the 'I'm number one' sign, and just-a-yellin' something I couldn't understand! At any rate, he took off, smoke exiting through both windows as he went! At the next light, I'm still laughing, pull up beside some guy in a mini-van, and he's giggling and chuckling too, giving me the 'you're number one sign' too, except with his thumb! All in all, that episode made up for an otherwise boring trip!
