Who did you take to Gapplebees Today?

Is the stock turbo sounds difference than the S280? I swear I feel like everyone knows what I have under the hood when rolling by. Everyone wants to run with me when I was on my stock turbo but no one bother me and even slow down now. My neighbor with the GT said that my car sound different LOL.

Hmmm interesting stock Turbo noise is nothing to write home about while the S280 sounds like a jet engine. People don’t talk about it much anymore probably because so many people run them and we are all used to the sound now. Though I remember Ron ( Whoosh) commenting about it when he put it on his car . Which is now MO15’s car. I rember dIstinctly noticing the difference in Turbo sound when I first drove my car after install. Now I just get challenged by people because my car is fast. It’s either people don’t figure it’s fast or I go zip by someone and all of sudden they want to run me.
Oh and it’s everything from V8’s to Imports and whatnot. Lots of Honda’s too. They just have a complex though Honda boys tend to think their cars rule. Even when they don’t I will never forget being my RB25DET 240sx( R33 Skyline GTST engine) and Honda boys revving on me on Figueroa here in LA and I had a Buddy Club Spec II exhaust that just let everyone know this was not a 4 cylinder 240sx but a sick Turbo 6 cylinder pushing 300whp and 360wTq. Oh and ya 240sx’s are the same weight as a FiST. I just looked over at them and started laughing.

Going to be running a 911 Turbo from a roll. I'm thinking 40mph is the best to start from. I don't think I can beat him but I want to see how close it really is.

Yup got the parameter set right in the AP and the thing rips. Have 93 sorted and will have ethanol dialed before I run the 911 this summer.

I will. Both cars are sleeping until warmer weather.

Ran With one of those Hell Kitties on 93 with Aux. * kept neck and neck for a bit but then he pulled away. Exited and he gave a Thumbs up out the Sunroof. Can't wait for e50....then Run another one!

Well Blew the doors off some JDM wanna be Lexus SC that was dropped & wanting to ride my bumper and flashing his hazards to race. Wasn't even funny. kept up for like 5 secs then gondar in El rearview. I need a Front and rear camera for this stuff. And i'm not even on the Corn yet!

I had a Mitsubishi lancer (not the evo), that may have had a turbo installed. He solicited the race, pulled over a car both times in 3rd gear.

Mini cooperS pulled along side me a couple days ago, and motioned to me to run but traffic was a little heavy. He went WOT and I switched to his lane and tailed him with a 4th gear pull and he never pulled away from me. I would’ve loved to see how it would’ve been if he hadn’t got the hit and I could stretch it into 5th gear but we seemed comparable in speed.

Chase is a race! A Lexus IS200 T F-Sport 4 banger turbo was zippin a bit through some traffic. They hit a right turn pretty hard so I stepped on it and followed after. Took the right in 2nd and caught up pretty quickly and pulled a few lengths before they let off. 😈 stock turbo. Cobb stage 1 OTS.

I was in my C8 cruising down the freeway today and only one thing came up from behind... I moved on over to let it by and it was a Magnetic Gray FiST!. .. I didn't put the hammer down and let him go on his merry way. Go Bro!

Like mid-engine Vette C8??

Do you still have the little MG?

Yes, as in C8 (mid engine) Corvette.
And Yes I still have the Austin Healey SPRITE (pictured as my avatar)

My son in law, when I got the C8 asked why I wanted ANOTHER fun car. My reply was "All cars should be fun. Why buy something that isn't?"

Saturn Ion?? It may or may not have been the Redline, but I didn’t hear a supercharger, I think it was just a plain Jane ion.

Loud exhaust, bright blue headlights, ZZP stickers. He tailed me a few times and I couldn’t tell if he was trying to race. He pulled along side me in an empty frontage road and I started at 30 in 2nd gear. He honked and he was car lengths behind by the end of 2nd, and several bus lengths by then end of 3rd. Not a fair fight but still fun to stretch the legs on the car.

Usually unfair to our disadvantage. I love when it’s the other way around

I have seriously never really raced anyone but on my way home from work today a little Blue BMW (I have no idea what because I never saw his backside) but he had a fart can on it and it sounded like....well, shit to be honest. He pulled out of Napa parking lot super aggressive and immediately ran right up my backside! As soon as he had a chance, he went to pass, he was unsuccessful. I am on my second Dizzy hybrid revision and only running about 21PSI....can't wait for the final tune!!!

As I've said before, they have the cars but don't know how to drive them! Conclusion, don't mess with ST's!

I absolutely thrashed a tesla model X while getting lunch


I went to mcdonalds, it had two drive through ordering lanes. I got in line in the left lane, then after a few minutes the model x pulled in. He finished ordering and pulled half a car ahead, but then I finished ordering and the car in front of the x wasn't paying attention. I pulled in front of both.

I gapped the model X by two car lengths and got my food first.

My dyno tune got postponed so no runs yet. In addition to the 911 turbo, I have runs against an M2 and Cayman GT4 lined up. I think I can go 2 for 3 but need to figure out the ideal speeds/gearing.
