I raced a 3rd gen cow-marow at the track one time, it didn't sound mean but he took my HCI 94 pretty easily

My friend has a Turbo Si. It's pretty quick for what it is.

I guess a sleeper of mine that i got beat by was something I have never really seen before. It just looked like a 4 door sedan. But it turned out to be a Lotus Omega. I have never heard of them so I looked it up and the numbers where pretty awesome.

I would defiently have to go with the huge a** diesel trucks. Some of those things have 8+ In. of lift and 37+ in. tires and still run 12's. That is amazing.

Lotus/Carlton Omegas are some sick cars. The owner of the car that beat you must have gone to considerable lengths to get one stateside, as they were never sold here.

let me just start by saying my car isn't as fast as any of yours. But an altima rolled up on me on the high way and this kid and his friend were pointing at my car. So we went from a dig and figured if it was the 2.5 I might have a chance. I couldn't see it at the time but it was an SE-R altima. Haha he freakin took off and I saw the badges on the back of the car and it wasn't even worth it.

Oh man, I remember when I first had my vert sixxer, I was young,(still am but much smarter now) dumb and thought I was way faster than I was. Anyways. I'm headed to a star bucks late one night and I see a hatch civic. Rolled from 15mph and it was a slaughter. Dunno what it had but it just looked like ****. Next time i see a civic come at me I'm going to pay a lil more attention to detail or mods I can hear. God that was embarrassing.

When I just bought the camaro I was going to work with a buddy when I see this 94/95 mustang cobra comming up real fast behind me so I speed up to let him get next to me since there was a car next to me. We hit a light I take a look at his car and man was it ugly missing paint, trim molding's missing but man it was like 4 times as loud as my car. So the light goes green I get on it and I have a half car lead outta the hole i have no tire spin while hes spinning like crazy and catching me at that point im like wow this guys car is kinda fast he gets a half car and we stay like that all the way till 120 mph.

I give the guy thumbs up and ask him what his mods are and he looked kinda upset and didnt respond he pointed back as if to ask what my mods were I said stock at that time my turn was comming up and we parted ways.

Sorry for the long post but that was my sleeper story lol.
