i'm keeping a tally sheet of all the runs that i do while i'm down here. i drove down to my parent's lake house last night (this is two days before the big show) there are already a gazillion cars on the road. i should have a few hundred pictures by the time i come back. so far just on the drive down here this has went on:
one of those 1.8t jettas probably late 90's model i had a full tank of gas and a trunk full of clothes and such, he had a passenger. there was alot of traffic so he got behind me, slowed down to 60 took off he slowly fell back after 90 he was falling fast. i'm not sure what mods he had but he caught up with me about 2-3 miles down the road to say nice car.
99-04 cobra with lord knows what in it. this car was slick, anyways i just wanted to see how fast it was, slowed down to about 50 took off and it sounded like he had two engines in that car he took off so fast and disappeared i couldn't even find him to see what was in it. he was probably pushing 150+mph by the time i got to 90
05 supercharged colorado. not sure how much power it put out cause he hasn't had it dyno'd yet but he said it pushes around 5psi. from a 20 and 40 roll. walked him to 100 both times. this was one of my brother's friends
some kind of honda accord with a 3 ft wing on the back, it was all trashy and this redneck was revving at a light i started laughing and he said it was turbo... he attempts to take off and it's an automatic on top of the other things and his tires barely chirp. he slowed down and honked and i figured what the hell took off at 40 and by 70 he was already 3 cars behind and falling. we hit another light and he asked what i had in it, i told him two superchargers and drove off
civic hatchback, this one was turbo and it ended up being about the same results as the cobra lol. i got him to pull over at a store so i could check it out, and took some pictures but it was late and they didn't turn out because of the lighting. he said he had about $20,000 worth of work to the car and even though the bodywork was ugly the computer systems, roll cage and engine work was immaculate and very nice. he also said he puts down 470whp lol... which i found out was very much true
so far
