screw the dam STATE TROOPER, they are out pulling over minivans with families and other cars for dumb shi !
Rear license plate lights, tint(which is dumb, a truck can be tinted darker than a car), seatbelts(even though most of them dont wear theirs), low tire tread all kind of bs.
They DONT give warnings AND DO SHOW UP TO COURT FOR EVERY CITATION.
100% conviction, no win for you, just more money for showing up to court. They should of split up and only one pull over, the locals dont monitor the state trooper and dont like them in their territory.

My buddies LS/Vtec turbo made 378 whp and 300wtq (IIRC on torque) on wastegate spring pressure of 11psi and ran an 11.7 first time to the track on that set up. Also, the power was made from 4.2k rpms to 8.2k. Car is capable of 9-9.2k rpms or there about. Not to be a dick, but it sounds like you don't know very much about imports, or 4 cylinder turbo cars in general.
and i'm sure you know exactly what i'm talking about. the dyno queens. you can't deny that they're out there. they're not the majority, but they're out there.
and theres also people out there who know what they're doing. like, people who pick the right size turbo, carefully size out the piping and such, and make 500 ft lbs of torque at 3500 rpm.
but, the thread was about ricers, who fall into the former category. you don't seem like a ricer to me. you seem like you know what your talking about.
by the way, just curious as you seem to be putting out some good numbers, what does your torque curve look like?
and yea.......for the record........if we raced, i'm pretty sure you'd win.
i have absolutely nothing against imports, i actually like a lot of them. my comment before was just out of context and could easily be taken to mean i don't like imports.

378 fwhp to run an 11 is hard pressed to believe unless he was down to a low 2000's race weight. What were his 60' and other times? MPH?
Rule of thumb I go by is if it takes a RWD V8 with 400+rwhp 120-125 mph to break into the 11's, I don't see it happening with a FWD 4 cylinder that doesn't weight transfer and basically has to make up ALL of their time on the back 1/8th mile.
