How does it feel to be toasted by a sleeper?

Well I know a few people today that know how it feels. I was down in the Orem and Provo area today and I ran into a few rev happy people. ABOUT TIME!!! I have been looking for people to race but nobody revs at me anymore, well not today.

Race 1:

I am in the middle lane and catch a yellow light. A Honda Accord pulls up in the right lane. From the sounds of it he has an exhaust, there is a descent wing on the back, and the car has been lowered by cutting the springs, and he has some nice rims. Then in the left lane pulls another LeBaron. It wasn't anything special; it was your run of the mill LeBaron with a 2.2L I4. Anyhow; the guy in the Accord throws a rev and starts inching up, I think alright, I'm game. As I rev the other LeBaron starts inching up. I am thinking, ok, whatever pal. The other light turns yellow and I let off the brakes and bring it up to about 5000 RPM. Our light turns green and we are off. I let out my clutch a little to fast and lost a little traction, no matter, I was blowing the doors off this Accord. Too bad, another all show no go car, I beat him by a good 6-7 car lengths. What surprised me was this LeBaron. He couldn't even dream of keeping up with me, but he sure was beating the Accord, by about a car length. That LeBaron was all stock from the sounds and the looks of it, and it has to N/A. I bet that pissed the guy off, he got his doors blown off by one LeBaron and was still beaten by another. And my intercooler isn't even working, HA.

Race 2:

This is where it got interesting. At another light, this time I am on a two lane road. Up next to me pulls some girl in an RSX. I like the RSX, it can actually move pretty good. This time I throw the rev, and she looks over and nods. I still think I am going to beat her. Light turns green, and this time I get good traction. She stayed even with me through first then I shifted to second and she stayed with me until the turbo spooled and then I started pulling on her, into third I am about a car ahead, and by the time I'm in fourth I am about 3-4 cars ahead of her. Damn good run for that car.

Race 3:

This was my last race as I was on my home. I am sitting at a light where most everyone needs to be in the right lane to make a turn up ahead. Well it just so happens I am in the right lane. Up next to me pulls a VW Jetta. Now I know this guy, and he lives close to me so I know that he needs in this lane. He is a little punk that has been bragging up and down about his car saying it's fast. As far as I know all he has for mods are I/H/E. He also has some PZeros on his car with some nice rims, as if his car needs PZeros. Anyhow; he starts inching up and there is no way I am letting him get in front of me, I'm putting him in his place. The light turns green and he got a shitty start, he almost bogged the engine. So I slowed down to let him catch up, as he come screaming up I floor it and pace him no problem. The only problem is that I am passing him and rather quickly. I even let him right next to me before I gunned it, and he didn't even get past the front of my car. I beat him pretty good, by about 5 cars, and I served him up a slice of humble pie. All he could do in return was give me the bird. Well screw you too buddy.

Heh, good kills Polygon, good that your getting to race people, I still can't find anyone to race...

Thats cool that the girl actually knew how to race, all the girls with cool/fast cars I know get them as automatics

Last real race I found were two guys in and old ass Jeep Wrangler... had a beefy v8 and kept up with me till we hit about 90-95... damn their low end torque, I have nuthin till the turbo comes on :P

Everyone else I find is just rice, and not even a challenge... I would rather have my ass worked by a bad ass car than just race the ricey pieces of shit that cruise around my town :P

My best run so far is 14.6 @ 98 MPH. The car is capable of low 14s to mid 14s. I just need to learn to drive it better.

14's? i always thought your car was faster then that polygon. your always burning people. hmmmmm well it would blow the doors off my 240 lolz. i think i'm the high 16's. i'm goin to do some basic mods. i always got a short throw to reduce my shift time and i got a stage one clutch. by cat is realy clogged up now so i'm goin to replace it with random technologys' cat. and a aem intake. since my car has a relatively large engine ( for 4 cylinder wise) i think it would take that mods pretty well and it would probrably put me in the 15 second time slips. which is still nothing to brag about lolz. but i'm not goin to throw too much into the KA. i'm saving up for my SR. then 14 second time slips easy and 13's and 12's are well within grasp.

Yeah, but my car is pretty much stock. Most people think I am full of crap when I tell them 14s. I guess the reason I kill so many cars around here is that they all suck. I'm so mad, honestly, I would love to have someone give me a good run for my money or beat me. I love close races. It is hard to judge your car when all you really race is crap I suppose. I am also aiming for the 12s or 11s as well when I get the money to do the mods.

And what mods do you have to put you in the 12-13 sec range?

Polygon: I noticed you said your intercooler isn't working... What do you mean? Running 14psi w/o an intercooler is kinda dangerous isn't it? :P

Nope, it's not unsafe, it is just that I am pumping 14 pounds of hot air, so I am getting a huge power loss.

And TV, I'll take ya' on sometime. And I would say low 14s is very respectable for a stock 4 banger that weights about 2800 pounds. I'll have her running low 12s soon enough.
