I've only seen it once. Did a double take, wondering if I actually saw what I thought I saw. We NEED pics of that at some point in time.

I'm not sure if I want to believe this, (but considering that people will make wings from 2x4s . . .) one of my freinds told me he saw a guy with actual coffee cans used for his muffler.

Here is one of the local Ricers from where I work. I tried to get his buddy's car too, but he wasn't there (it is a first gen Tiburon with a CF hood.)

This guy has a full Megan exhaust with test pipe. The car is a Mitsubishi Galant with some AM wheels. Take note that he did not paint the car flat black, it is just faded. It has an automatic transmission. It has "pimped" sound system that's probably worth more than the car. Just put on some "very rare" JDM headlights, that he's going to do a projector lamp conversion to, and already has HID kit installed.

According to the owner of this vehicle, it is faster than my S2000, faster than my freind's uniquely moded Porche 924, faster than a Mitsubishi Evo Rallyart, faster than an early gen TransAm (unsure of the year, but it's got a big engine), faster than a whole lot of things on the road. According to this individual, he has a freind with a Mitsubishi Eclipse turbo that will eat the pants off of anyone's car. (we hear about it ALL the time). Oh, yeah, and he talks about turboing it to 400+ hp almost every day, and how he'll be faster than any car in the parking lot. Not to mention that his license is on the verge of being suspended and that the cops know his car, and they are constantly on the lookout for him based on the braging he does during lunch hour.

After reading that, take note that he has a self professed HP of 230 at the crank. Granted this car has less HP than the S2000, and weighs more, is an automatic which means even less power at the wheels, and is front wheel drive, I find it hard to believe that his car is faster than most of those mentioned above.

Anyway, here are the pics.

Oh, and one more thing . . . this is the same guy/car that has a CEL because the "previous owner" installed a resistor "magic HP chip" to get more power.

I doubt he'll be faster than the cars specifically mentioned. But looking at the pics, I don't see any real competition of the cars currently in the parking lot.
