I had gotten off of work yesterday at about 9pm from my dead-end 11 hour a day job working as a sales associate for Verizon Wireless. I walked out to a decent night, and walked over to my car. Interestingly enough I could see a few cars parked next to mine, hoods popped, owners outside. As I walked closer I saw the three parked just a few spaces from me. As they sat there was a black LT1 trans am, seemingly unmodified. An sn95 mustang with apparently some chrome goodies sitting under the hood. And lastly a brand spankin new, dealer tagged and all, blacked out 06 dodge charger r/t. All three owners are outside and checking out the Chargers brand-new beauty. I give their cars a quick glance, and go to open my door. Before I could even sit down in my car I see them staring me down.
The charger owner proceeded to blurt out..."Why do you people waste your money on those things?"
I gave a quick smirk and replied "It's not too bad for a decently quick daily driver."
Of course he had to come back at me..."Well thats just because you don't know what real 'quick' car is"; the three of them shared a nice laugh at that one, haha.
So I decided I'd check out their cars and just talk some cars with them for a minute. I fire up my 1g to let it warm up while I wait outside. At the putting of my exhaust with no muffler, they again share a good laugh at my cars expense.
I get out and walk over to them...and the bashing ensues. "What is the appeal of those rice burners?","Front wheel drive cars suck"(I didnt correct them), "Whats the point of those torqueless honda-cars? This is putting out nearly 400 ft/lbs from the factory"
He went over the line grouping me in with hondas, haha. I just told him that my stock turbo spooled nice, and my car actually generates a good amount of torque. Taking me defending my car as an obvious insult he proclaims "why dont we just roll out here onto 13 and ill show u what a real car does?"
I figured what the hell, I'll give him ago; I was still feeding off the confidence of my recent victory against a stock 05 mustang gt by about a 1/4 car. So I tell him why not, I'm not afraid to lose. He tells his buddies he'll be back in a quick second and fires up his Charger. It had a mean runble to it, I won't lie.
We pull out onto the main road with tons of flat straight ahead. I'm rolling first gear as he pulls beside me. I hear him yell, "Just go whenever you want buddy"
I punch it at about 4k RPMS and my 14b flies into action. I hear the chargers V8 roar out almost exactly the same time I go for it. I hear the chirp of his tires as my first gear winds out in a flash. 6k winds by and I slam it into 2nd with the familiar sound of my crushed 1g BOV chirping. During his seeming traction battle in first gear I have managed to put 3/4 of a car on the cocky charger.
I'm still going balls out in second with my turbo hissing like a champion. I'm suprisingly holding this guy at my rear quarter panel as my RPM's climb in second. Right as I'm approaching my shift point, I hear the charger find 3rd gear. I bang 3rd gear with precision and I'm once again greeted by the rush of my BOV.
Third gear is rolling by and I toss a look at my logger and everything is running flawless. I take a glance and to my suprise....I'm creeping away from this guy. The roar of the V8 grows more dull as pull inch by inch away. 6K comes in 3rd gear and I glance back to see him a few feet from my rear bumper. I hit 4th and within a few seconds....he gives up.
I turned around and followed him back to the parking lot with a smile of victory having defeated someone who so badly needed to have his shit checked
I pull back in beside the seemingly V8 club and tell the guy it was a good run. But I guess you can't make peace with everyone. His buddies were obviously shocked he lost, and he had to come out with "Yeah, anyones car can be fast when you dump at least 10 grand in it"
Having had more than my share of this guy I laugh and get back in my car telling him that I've spent a whopping total of nearly 3 grand on my car including the price i paid for it. He gives me the "whatever" look and I pull out and head home victorious.
Was the guy an awesome driver? Probably not. Did he know half of the workings of an actual car? Probably not. Could that car have beaten me with a good driver? I thought it should have. But hey, it felt good to put that guy in his place. Especially now that my fmic kit, 650ccs, evo iii 16g and sockted ecu are coming in the mail
Sorry for such a long killy story but im bored at work(Maybe ill have another story tonight, haha. Peace
