She nodded and then smirked. "Hope you like a stick shift...." She sand and looked over at her green viper. "If you be a good boy I'll let you drive her."

"Sticks are all I drive." He grinned. "Automatics are for wussies." He said with a little lightness coming back into his voice. He took a long glance at that new viper, it sure was pretty. He'd imagine it'd feel quite different to actually drive one instead of competing against one like he always seemed to.
He brought his car back to the center of the crowd and found a couple spots open, he backed into one of them and got out, looking around to see if first, anyone had learned about Manako, and second, if there was any easy money walking around.

She smiled and pulled her car in right behind him, the green underlow now on as she pulled up. Everyone gawked and chattered around her as she pulled up beside him and got out lighting a cigarette.

As he may have expected, everyone by them swarmed the viper. He could hear statements of amazement how that's the new one that just came out and how rare they are and so on. Then a thought crossed his mind that this may be a good opportunity, everyone wants to race against the coolest/rarest car so they can have the opportunity to say they beat it, on top of that, tag team racing was seemingly popular tonight. With a bit of a smirk, he walked over to Taya and leaned in close to her ear. "If anyone challenges you to a race, accept it, and say you want it tag team style with me as your teammate. We could make a shit ton of money off some suckers." He patted her on the shoulder and then walked back to his car as if he didn't say anything. He figured he'd let the lady use her charm to get something lined up.

She smirked and grabbed his hand, stopping him. "Only if you get over here and make sure none of these chumps try and flirt with me." She said and pulled him close.

Cole held a bit of a grin as he felt his hand yanked. He spun around and said. "Good point, they'd have good reason to." He smiled at her and then looked into the onlookers, all well dressed, and stuffed with energy, yeah, this could equal big bucks for them. He planted himself half a step behind her and subtly let his eyes run through the rows of cars around them, there were a bunch of exotics, but then again, there always were in this part of the city.

She leaned back against him and felt his arms wrap around her waist and smiled as she took a drag from her cigarette. She watched everyone look at the car, but most of the high end drivers were looking at her and him together. Her soft tanned skin and skimpy outfit played the part but her driving and what was under the hood is what tripped them up.

Cole got a few odd glances here and there. Most of the guys around here that knew him we're used to Cole always being single, he was the one guy that showed up to race, not chase women. He caught two guys around his age looking at the viper and talking amongst themselves. He drew his eyes over to theirs and they noticed him giving them the stare down. They said a few more words to each other and then made their way to Taya and Cole.
One of them stepped forward and looked at both of them. "Don't suppose you're too afraid to throw it down out there." He challenged. His buddy then joined him at his side.
"You two a team?" Cole asked from behind Taya, still holding his arms around her.
"Hell yeah we are." They responded.
Cole gave a slight smile. "We're down if you're putting up some cash." He smirked at them.

Taya smirked watching them. "What makes you think you'll be able to beat me? I beat your buddy over there for 50 grand plus his car..."

The gathering crowd let out a low whistle and looked back to the two guys for their response. They looked at each other, then the lead one said. "That's cute, how about we do this big. 100 grand, us verses you and and him." He pointed to Taya and Cole. "Take it or leave it."
Cole raised an eyebrow with a little smirk towards them. "You sure you wanna do that?"

"MY car's more than that." Taya smirked. "Forget it, you guys cheat anyway." She said and turned around and went and got in her car. "Not a challenge anyway."

Cole thought 100 grand was enough, and here Taya was acting like it was just skimming the surface! Obviously she had confidence. "Be at the start line in five minutes." The two guys huffed and turned to go to their cars.
Seeing them walk off, he leaned into the viper's cabin where Taya was sitting. "Alright, I'll take the first stint, and you finish it off, good?"

She nodded and looked up at him. "What do I get if we win?" She asked and nipped at his lip.

"Not if, when we win." He grinned. "I guess you'll just have to see, won't you?" He laughed and gave her a kiss, then he patted the roof of the viper and closed the door. "Let's do this."
As he walked to his corvette, he took in a few breaths and tried to clear his mind the best he could. He couldn't be thinking about the recent events in a race. He got it the seat and lit up the V8, letting it idle for a second before cruising to the staging area and eventually the start line. He grabbed a bunch of cash stacks totaling 100k, and handed them over stack by stack. Damn that was a lot of money.
The race director positioned both Cole's corvette and what he assumed was his rival in a supra. Sure enough, it turned out to be the lead guy doing most of the talking a few minutes ago.
He checked over to where Taya and her rival were being positioned, and let himself relax and slip into his mental zone, as tough as that was.

Taya sighed and got to her starting point and revved her engine as she waited for him to start towards her.

He couldn't say he was completely relaxed, but he was ready to go...for the most part. He gave the engine a few harmonic revs and settled in the seat. The starter between the two cars lifted her arms, and then dropped them signaling the start. Both the corvette and the supra darted off the line in a dead heat to the first corner. Cole had the inside, so he squeezed his competitor out to the edge of the entry and then darted down to the apex. It was a relatively simple technique in the professional world of racing, but worked almost every time out here.
The two cars got through the next few straights and corners cleanly, until the supra decided to try a dive bomb towards the end of the stint. It didn't go especially well for him at first, as he practically lost control of the back of the car and fishtailed his way alongside the corvette. Cole consequently had to let him go to avoid a collision and filed in behind briefly before darting to the supra's inside and retaking the position at the exit of the corner. He focused on getting through the gears, and made it to the last corner of his stint. Because it was so tight and small, he had to downshift a few gears and so he heel-toed down a couple and made sure to leave no room for any mistakes.
His corvette thundered out of the corner about 10 car-lengths in front of the supra and down to the start/finish line, where Taya and her rival were waiting.

Taya saw him coming and got ready once he was beside her she took off ahead of her rival and was already five car lengths ahead and was pulling farther away. She smirked as she went around every turn with ease and started on the last straight away and took it easy not seeing the other car in sight. She went across the line and spun around leaving a little rubber on the pavement and got out of her car and smirked.

Bruno heard a voice a familiar voice and saw a crowd gather around four drivers. So Bruno walk over and smiled when he saw Cole. Bruno watched as the four drivers got into their cars and head straight to the starting line. Watching the girl drop her hands and the cars speed off.
Bruno watched as Cole and the viper cross the finish. Bruno moves his way through the crowd and finally said "Well well well if it isn't Herr Peyton. Long time no see."

Cole watched nervously as he waited for the two cars to appear, he just put a ton of faith in Taya without even really seeing her drive, he desperately hoped he was right. Eventually, that bright green viper appeared on the front straight well in front of the next car. A big grin appeared on his face as he did a fist pump. That felt good.
As he collected the money stacks and split them equally, he set aside Taya's share and put his own in the back of the vette. Then, he heard a familiar German voice...no...it couldn't be him, he turned to see his biggest rival he's ever had in racing. What the hell was he doing here?
"I thought you were busy in Germany, kissing enough ass to be in a DTM car?" His eyes narrowed ever so slightly. You see, back when they raced in the GT3 Challenge, Cole was slated to move to Germany and get a DTM ride with the new BMW team. When his parents died, he lost his primary sponsor and thus the team chose Bruno instead, basically crushing Cole's dream. Needless to say, he didn't appreciate it to this day. "What the hell are you doing in the U.S, street racing for that matter?"

Bruno looked at Cole smiled and said "Ha. Well I just retired wanted some new scenery and well I thought I'd come to America and try this Street racing." he smiled bigger before continuing, "and I heard about two racers making a name for themselves a former GT3 racer and a native from Japan whose drifting ability with a R34 can't be rivaled. and the only GT3 racer I thought of was you. But I don't see this famed R34 Racer anywhere and I wanted to race him so much. So where is he, Cole?"
