Default Sleeper FTW

ok, so first i need a little background...


In erie pa, where i have been for the past 3 months, there is a big divide between the domestics and imports...

its actually very immature and stupid, as back in jersey some of my best friends had cobra's and other american cars and we would all go for drives together etc...

the domestics call the imports ricers and there have nearly been fist fights down at the 'local hangouts', a la the docks and 3rd and state...

i was down there last night, hanging out with my friends when a camaro SS with loud pipes revs his engine and parks on the domestic side of the parking lot... he comes over and starts talking shit, including my car as a stupid import... just to show how cheap this guy is, he had raced a supercharged prelude, but never letting the cars line up, he would just floor it on the highway and tell the guy in the prelude to "catch up".

now from the outside, my car looks very stock




with only my gauges to possibly give the game away...

so all this smack talk goes back and forth until i finally tell him to stop running his mouth and actually go for a little race... he immediately makes up more excuses on why he doesnt want to race me. one of my friends says he will pay the guy with the SS $100 if he beats me.... He finally agrees, but says that i need someone in the passanger seat, and i can't take out all of my stuff in the trunk... 40lb tool kit, 15 qts of oil i had gotten for free at work etc..


we go off to the highway, him in front, me behind. We get to where the road goes to two and as i slowly inch up on him, in 3rd@55mph, he just goes WOT. So i oblige and floor it as well... the results were about 4-5 cars in 3rd gear before i let off...

i move into the right lane, with him still in the left lane and he tries to do a flyby. I'm ready, brake boosting, and just as he's coming by i let off the brake and stop his pull and go past him... He tries another time, and then gives up... and as we are turning around to go back on the highway, he complains to my friends who were following "saying something about a turbo"...

When we get back to the spot, he doesnt show up...I later find out he went straight home...

just thought i would share...

its a UR turbo kit, around 14.5 psi, its a bit lower right now because of an exhaust leak, connected to a stock exhaust... 384whp on an EMS, inlinepro 3mm headgasket, 750 injectors, walbaro 255, competition stage 4 6 puck and 9lb flywheel.

Yep, your car looks stock, actually, even worse than stock with those exhaust tails.

So, the domestic guys call the imports "ricer" and "stupid import", what do the import guys call the domestic - "smart rednecks"?
