Well I decided to go to some races with the fiancee a small group of friends in the new M3, a 1997 Talon TSi AWD and a tahoe. We decided we might as well go and hang out with the undergrad kids and their cars.
So we get to a big group of people. Some nice cars actually show up. an MKIV Supra, some other dsm's, the usual honda's etc.
Well there is a very atrocious neon. It was white with a body kit, very fake head lights, altezza's of course, a huge fricking double decker aluminum spoiler, fart cannon, a lot of stickers etc..
The car is just sitting there and we are wonder wtf is up. Even the other ricers were making fun of the amount of rice on this kids car.
So the kid starts talking smack about how he could take almost anybodies car there. He said: "Yea I have a bottle of nitrous oxide in my car."
Well my buddy with the talon has some decent mods. Runs consistent mid/high 13's.
So they decide they'll go from a stop.
Anyway they line up and my buddy is spooling up his turbo and let his BOV sing.
So they're waiting for a kid to start the race and the talon gets a decent launch. The neon is spinning the hell out of his tires. Anyway the talon had a good launch and was up about 2 cars after first it looked like. So they keep going and by the end of 3rd it seems like the neon is reeling him in and pretty quickly as well.
Everyone was like wtf, there must be something going on with the talon. It ends up being that the neon takes the race by about a car and a half.
They get back and everyone asks my buddy what happened with the talon. He said nothing, the car ran fine.
The fricking neon was running a VERY nice turbo setup. He plays the rice off as a decoy to win $$. Pretty nice trick. The car under the hood was absolutely sick. 16G turbo with plenty of supporting. Everything on the inside was hidden well. All his gauges well hidden except a monster tach which he purposely wants visible.
Was a very cool ride infact, just funny how he riced it out purposely to fool people.
The MKIV wanted to run me but I showed him the ODO with less than 50 miles and told him it wasn't happening tonight.
It's funny how girls pay attention to you if you have a nice ride. I got all these undergrad girls asking me about my car and about me while my fiancee was fending them off. I never liked those tools
