Take your buddy for a ride, and THEN asks if he wants to still race.

my friend has one. we ran stock and i beat him by about 15 car lengths not driving hard. then he got a catback, chip, and intake and talked mad **** to me. i had all the mods in my sig so of course i said i would run him again. lets just say by the time i was done spinning my tires through 2nd gear he was just breathing my exhaust and smoke. he was destroyed. i could have run a 1/2 mile by the time he was done the 1/4 mile. NO CONTEST!! run him for money and say you think he will win.

Are you serious You will absolutely destroy him. Unless he has a turbo you have nothing to worry about.

No. Not until it has forced induction. And even then, there's only mild levels of "scared," with very few capable of putting the fear in ya.

It's gonna be pretty bad, I mean bad. Lace up your shoes good and you could prolly push your car and beat him, and those TA's are heavy.
