Ride of your life
This was a short narrative (1 1/2 pages) for English Composition II. I was playing alot of Forza 4 and I was listening to Dancing by Vicky Vale (Initial D OST). I wanted to post it because I felt this was the best short narrative I wrote so far.
Tires screeched as the line of high performance machines teared around the corner. Ahead of the pack was a brand new 2012 Lamborghini Aventador being tailed by a Enzo Ferrari. It was a warm day and the perfect day for a public track day on the Nuremburgring in Germany. The group of 5 high performance Italian and German cars raced around the track. Leaving the lower class cars in the dust. The fire-spitting V12s of the machines roared as they entered the first straightaway, showing off how much power they packed under their hoods. It seemed the Aventador was in the lead until they came to another straightaway. He gunned it pulling ahead of the pack but suddenly someone appeared in his rear view mirror. It was Lamborghini's worst nightmare: The Bugatti Veyron SuperSport. The driver of the Bugatti just grinned as he stepped hard on the gas; the roar of 16 cylinders and 4 turbochargers sent what could only be a masterpiece of a car flying down the track. 150mph, 160mph, 170mph, the speedometer just kept on climbing, the electronic paddle shifters making quick and easy work of the gear shifts. The Bugatti pulled ahead of the Lamborghini and was soon far ahead of the group of street legal race cars. The Bugatti reached 200mph before it had to slow down to make a turn, this didn't work in its favor weighing 2 tons. The Enzo Ferrari caught up and overtook the Veyron using its lighter weight and incredible acceleration to its advantage. Peeling out of the corner and weaving around the turns. The Bugatti, having 4WD accelerated to catch up with the Enzo but losing ground when it came into the turns.
The two masterpieces of machinery came into the home stretch before the finish line. It was neck and neck, who was going to win; the street legal formula 1 supercar that was named after the founder of Ferrari or the record holder for fastest production car in the world. The drone of the engines was heard as they grappled for the lead. The driver of the Bugatti had had enough, opening the gas and pulling ahead of the Enzo. The spoiler on the Bugatti came up as it hit 150mph. The Bugatti flew over the finish line and the driver hit the brakes of the French supercar. It didn't take him long to come to rest off to the side to prevent a collision. The Enzo came up behind him and the door opened, the butterfly door opening up instead of out. The two drivers stepped out and they met between the two cars. They chuckled before they shook hands.
"I never thought I'd have the privilege to see a Veyron." The finely dressed American said.
"Hard to believe an American owns a Enzo." The German driver of the Bugatti replied.
"When you have money and fame, you can have almost anything."
