My first race in the FTS and I got killed (but it was expected)

Coming home from work today I had to stop by the doctors office to drop off some paper work for my immunization records for going to college. I pull up to a light and I'm up front in the left lane and a white C6 Vette pulls up next to me in the right lane. I figured I'd have some fun but I knew I didn't have a chance in hell. So the light turns green and I gun it and I jumped out to a big lead then he flies up next to me and I have the car floored. I look over at him and he's chuckling and then he waves, downshifts and takes off like a shot. It was all in good fun but I hope I at least surprised him a little bit!

Heh,cool. I do that stuff all the time. I always race cars i never have a chance at beating,but its fun anyway.
Fleetwood Touring Sedan

Do a search.
Nice! Is your FTS running a 93 octane program or 87 octane?

I am glad I am not driving my Fleetwood daily anymore because this 93 octane program is getting expensive when I do drive it.

I like to surprise people, but more even matches, like my friends 1997 Mustang GT that I had 2 cars lengths on up to 65 mph.

it's running a 93 octane program. The car runs great but it's expensive to fill up. I usually only wait until a half tank before I fill it back up

I hear ya.. with premium being $3.94/gallon in downtown Chicago, it is nuts!

I also fill up at half a tank, I don't want my fuel pump to go bad anytime soon.

Post some recent shots of the FTS, I would like to see it again :thumbsup:

Damn! I thought we had it bad here. Premium is at like 2.99-3.05 a gallon. But I've been wanting to take some shots of the FTS. Hopefully if it doesn't rain all week like it's saying its going to do I can go and take some shots
It is better to have raced and lost then to never have raced at all. Good death.
