Funny stuff
Ok so ive got this buddy with a 91 twin turbo stealth that swears his car is soo much faster than my stang. Stock for stock my car is even faster. He said he would pull hard on me with ease and would bet money on it. He said it has all kinds of work done to it and is easily over 400 hp. He just got it dyno'd at 220 hp. Haha and last week he was at the track but wouldnt race me. Dont you love when ppl talk big but cant back it up!

He said he was running not enough boost and it had a bad tune. . . thats not what his friend told me too. I was like dude its gonna take three times the boost to get 400 rwhp! I told him im not running enough boost either. Im running 0 psi right now. I told him its fair. Hes got two turbos. Ive got two more cylinders.

RE: Funny stuff
I had a guy try to pull that crap and he owned a 99 cobra. He was telling everyone he had 800rwhp with a procharger and 75hp shot of spray. He had the stock shortblock, heads, and cams. I knew he was full of **** but kept my mouth shut and let all the mustang owners in the club, that really don't know anything about the cars they drive, think he was the ****. I rode with him to kansas city to drop the car off to correct some tune problems and I asked the tunner. He laughed. 440rwhp was what he was pushing and was running 8.1 in the 1/8.

I used to work with this old geezer who bought an older intercooled turbo Toyota Supra. It was a nice car with the Targa bar overhead etc etc & the engine technology (stock) was pretty cool too. And he also would swear up-and-down that he could smoke my Stang if he wanted to. Problem is, he never wanted to LOL
The guy always drove so FREAKIN SLOOOOOW too. He gave me a ride a few times & I'd comment about the turbo boost gauge on the dash, asking him how far the needle moved when he really punched it. He didn't know, and thought the gauge might be busted. Fact is he never took it over 3000rpm

I live in a small town and this kid that goes to the local high school says he can beat me in his stock v6 mustang. He has so many stickers he must have like 60 extra whp. He always brags about how fast his mustang is but he will never race me. I heard a rumor he drove his car around with the e-brake on and ruined his brakes.

RE: Funny stuff
lol, since its become story sharing time i guess ill tell mine. No less than 2 weeks ago we had a nice car show in the parking lot of the reseraunt I work at. We do it yearly. Some kid with a freaking boneee stock, gah I forget the exact car, it was like an older sedan. The kid came up and was telling everyone that it was twin turbo. We all looked at his motor and told him it wasnt and he said they were located by the exhaust to be hidden. We all just went along with it and laughed afterwards. He had nooo turbo piping of anyy sorts, none of it looked relatively new, when he drove away there was NO spool or bov. 
Busted.
