Here is my post on the Supraforums about the race. It's kinda funny that YOU would say someone had a big mouth and a cocky attitude. The only cocky thing I said to you was that you needed to get more boost since you couldn't pull away from a car that had "No Chance!" of beating you AND you had the nerve after talking all that trash to redlight on a car you felt had no chance of beating you.
I know your type and thus I realize that there is no sense wasting my time discussing it with you. Everyone is a little cocky about their car whether it's a GEO or a Ferrari. I think it's obvious who is more likely to have a big mouth and a cocky attitude that crosses the line. Exhibit 'A' your uncontrollable need to start a thread entitled Supra Eater and then post a picture of your own car.
Here's my long post...
I was driving home from the WNBA basketball game Friday and decided to head
down toward Woodward. So I'm heading down the hwy and then I hear this
really loud car merge into traffic from just behind me. The car goes flying
by me on my right and I see that it's a competition coupe version of the
Viper GTS. I immediately see him as being easy prey so I down shifted and
followed him while he was flying through traffic. We both got off at the
Woodward exit. We were in traffic and the light turned red so I got over
and got beside him. He immediately looks over at me and emphatically says
"You don't have a chance! There's NO way you can beat me!" So I tell him
that I think I've got a pretty good chance of beating him. He then says
even more emphatically "There's NO WAY you can beat me!" You don't know
what I've got under my hood." So I tell him that he doesn't know what I've
got under my hood either. So he says "I know about those cars and there's
no way in $ell that you can beat me! I just dynoed yesterday and I've got
700hp" and I say that if we both take off at the same time I think I've got
a pretty good chance against him. So the light has turned green by now and
all the cars have been honking behind us because we're being ghetto and
holding up traffic while talking on a busy street. So I say we'd better go
and he pulls off and I get behind him. He then spontaneously decides to
pull into the gas station at the corner. So I pull in and we both hop out of
the cars. I walk over and tell him he's talking big trash and say he must
have a Doug Levin supercharger to be talking that much trash. Then I asked
him if he knew MCMM and he said yeah. So I told him that I work with MCMM
and he said "Yeah but you don't know me and if we race you're gonna know me
then!" While saying that he's opening his hood. So he gets the hood open
and I immediately recognize the Roe supercharger kit that MCMM's been
wanting to buy. It was the cheaper unpolished version but I was being nice
so I didn't rag on the guy for getting the cheap version. Then this guy in
a CFIV Camaro comes over and asks if we are going to race. We both say "No"
and then quietly I asked him if he's game. He says just name the place and
asks how much money are we betting. I said I'll race him but not for money.
Then I said a little north of here should be a safe spot and I tell him that
we'll go from about 35mph and he says that sounds good and we take off. I
thought about raising the boost but figured I wouldn't because I wanted to
see how close the car was with the boost the way I normally drive and not
with it at max level. We get to the spot and line up at about 37mph and I
ask him if he's ready. He says yeah and I reach over to turn my Sade CD off
and I hear "Waaaahhhhhhhh" and look over and the guy is already taking off!
I thought since he was so cocky that I had no chance that he'd let me do the
1-2-3 count and then we'd go even or he'd at LEAST let me go first. So I
immediately floor the car and by the time I react and build boost his rear
end is at my front end. I run even with him through 2nd gear, quickly shift
into 3rd and the car fish tails but I keep it floored. The car gets back in
line and continues on and then he finally has to shift and I jump a little
closer but still not gaining on him. Finally we both let off and I pull up
next to him and say it looked pretty even to me. He says "Yeah but I was in
front of you". I'm thinking that's because your chicken butt wouldn't wait
for an even start but I say "That's just because you left first. After I hit
the gas you didn't leave me one bit." Then I said "If we ran even I think I
would have beaten you." It probably would have been the same result except
I would have been in front when it was over but since he went from "There's
NO WAY you can win!" to "Yeah but I was in front" I figured I'd give him
something to think about. The guy didn't say anything this time and had
kinda a scowl on his face. So I chuckle to myself, tell him he needs more boost,
wave good bye and head back South to Woodward. I then called MCMM and
told him about it and he met me at our Woodward meeting spot. Later the guy
drove by and MCMM recognized the car and said he had seen him before but
didn't really know him.
So that was my long version of my race with the supercharged Viper. After
that encounter I think I'll be ok when MCMM gets his supercharger because I
was only running 18psi at that time and probably could have caught the guy
if I turned it up 2psi while we were in the gas station. The car is dyno
tuned to run 22psi on 94 Octane so I could have safely turned the boost up a
little and pulled on the guy.
