Default Ricer at work

Well everyone, I think I'm being called out at work, but I can't tell if this kid is serious, since he's such a smartass about everything. He's a cool guy and all but his car...no. He has a 1993 Honda Prelude with the fabled VTEC H22! You should see this thing. It's white with orange and purple flames and a bunch of cracks in the paint, a whole bunch of 'sponsor' decals along the bottom of the body, a body kit that's got holes in it, APC headlights, a park bench spoiler, and giant 5-spoke chrome wheels. Ooh, I can't forget the big exhaust tip, and visible front mount intercooler. He says he have full intake, full exhaust, a Garrett T3/T4 turbo, boost controller, BOV, some custom computer work, an engine rebuild, and some weight reduction. Ooh, and wait, he has a 75 shot! I've heard that this turbo can only support 300 hp, and supposedly he dynoed 298 @ the front wheels...I don't buy it, since I've never actually seen the car move, and since he's still on stock internals.

He was talking to me and my buddy (Omega) who also has an LS1, asking how many cars we want, and **** like that. Apparently he can beat either of us without spraying, though he claims to have run 13's on turbo, 12's on spray...supposedly hit an 11.99 once and blew his head gasket. I have full intake, full exhaust, a stall, a gear, full suspension, and weight reduction, so I know I wouldn't have a problem with him. Should I embarass him now, or wait till I cam my car and make him want to sell his out of embarassment? How bad do you think it would be? Haha...oh well.

just run him and beat his ***. Please don't neglect to tell us how it ended. I mean, we know how it ends, but we'd like to hear about it.

just kill him now if you want, or throw a 100 dry shot on to really hurt his feelings, lol. Hes probably BSing about al that anyway. What size stall you have, they really make a huge difference on those A4's. Be sure to post results after you race him. Sick of people not posting results. If he is telling the truth, then you may have a good race here.

The H22 is a neat motor and I LOVE THE LAST GEN PRELUDES (for what they are, sporty econo cars that handle like a bitch and i think they look pretty damn good/high quality). But I am thinking you should rip him....I doubt he has half the **** he says he had. I just rode in a "9 second" 76' vette....It had a GM goodwrench 350 crate motor...go figure. THe girl refused to race my 5.0 after i gave her a ride in it, sayed it would kill her vette. Yeah, she didnt make any 9 second claims that day...

you know I'm glad besides my boss and his wife I am the only other employee at my work. All of my "co-workers" only speak dog. Well Job one anyways. (parttime help) at Job #2 most of the guys in the shop don't really talk about cars much.

Get a 100 shot, then race him and let him keep up 'til you get up in the revs in 2nd gear... then spray the **** outta it. When he asks what that was, tell him you have VTEC too...

The last gen preludes rocked, but in a different, un-fast way unless built. I doubt he really is.

Make sure he fills out a contract saying that his car is in perfect shape for a race so he doesn't say, "oh my muffler bearings were overheated" or something equally as gay.

Hahaha.....I was going to challenge him today but the ****** called off, oh well. I told him he better spray some more clear coat on his ride, because I'm going blow those flames right off. I like Preludes in general, but they aren't really performance cars.
