Yeah, my buddy was talking about his new supra he just got when i was at army national guard drills this weekend. He's the kind of guy that likes to talk about his car(s) A LOT. he was telling me how he was next to a v8 mustang and just smoked the guy from a rolls, etc etc. So you know i was thinking, *cough*bullshit*cough*.
So we headed out to lunch, and not to my surprise he wanted to race me. My car is just completely stock with a catch can, 15" rims, and hks ssqv bov. Yeah, not much difference in performance. So from a 40 roll....i beat him couple car lenghts and kept pulling. From a stop...i'm sure we know the results there. I beat him couple car lenghts...kept pulling.
My stock boost is 6-7psi. So yeah, we get out and he's like "haha that damn turbo, i would have you if you didn't have it!" Well, dur, but my car is STOCK with the turbo, it's not like i modded to have it slapped on. Then he started giving excuses like, yeah, i would run faster but I think my tranny is messing up, and bla bla.
Well, sorry, just a little story I wanted to mention.

My car just rolled over to 190,000 miles too and still running strong (though I did replace all the gaskets, hoses, bearings, and other things...)
