I've been looking inward a lot lately and I have found that a lot of it may do with me. MyGoatBites was overwhelmed when first moving to DFW from California. He commented that it was amazing how I could dig up a launch from just about anyone. His comment was that I had a radar for it. Looking back at my videos you can see I'd put the camera on and go out and find one pretty much at will.
The only notable lack of success was finding an Evo to go. For a long time I never even saw any of them on the streets in Tibbee Mississippi. Tibbee is a lot like Plano Texas. Lots of rich people driving Mercs and Bimmers, Terminators, Even 2-3 Shelbys on the road right now. Any given night in either Tibbee or Plano you can find Ferraris, C6 Vettes, Z06 vettes, AMGs, Jags, and just about anything else that sells for more than 50k. Had an argument with someone here once claiming SRT8s were rare. Well not in Tibbee/Plano. Fact is few buyers would purchase a 5.7 C300, Charger, or Magnum cause they'd be just plain too cheap.
Don't get me wrong there are a ton of teenage girls with 6 cylinder mustangs and quite a few guys that regularly drive AMG E55's have Terminators tucked away in the back of their garages and maybe trot them out 1-2 times a year. Heck I've seen a new Z06 with 40 miles on it having heads and cam put on and the guy took it home and parked it and months later its only got around a hundred on it.
I've tried to be born again and I am not finding as many any more when I do look. Occasionally some guy with a girl in the car or with his windows rolled up will launch on me. Had a Supercharged Jaguar launch with me the other night. The 3.91s put them down so brutally they quit early.
I've had a lot more fun at the drag strip on street nights lately. Pay attention to 05/06 Mustang GTs. Those guys with the new drag packs are hungry. Sorry for the long post.
