cars to look out for (I've owned a few of these)
2nd gen rx-7's, especially if it sounds like your car (v8 swap) or big single turbo ones (mine was 528whp on c16 and 32 psi)
3rd gen rx-7's can be mean (mine did 460whp on pump gas and they're light)
mitsubishi galant vr4's (they look like shitboxes but can be nasty as hell)
and year evo (stock they aren't much trouble, but stock turbo ones can go up to @400whp)
got a few quick civics out by me, but they are easy to hear
starion's done right are down right nasty
of course supra's and skylines but that's a given
wrx sti's I have a few friends running high 400's to low 500's whp
but chances are you are usually running into a dumb kid with a stock car that thinks it's the fastest thing on earth, the real fast ones are few and far between depending on where you live. but if the dude really wants to run for money and won't say what he's got, then yeah, be a bit nervous. I used to do a lot of money runs back in the day with my 2nd gen rx-7, car looked bone stock on the outside, dark tints and gutted on the inside. I would never pop my hood for any one, took out a lot of cocky muscle car owners by surprise lol.

Hitman, on my way to Nashville with the lady the other night I saw a blue FRC (zo6 emblems had been taken off already) with a mesh style rim (not sure what brand or make they were). It had been flipped 2-3 times it looked like, beat up pretty bad.
Any idea who it was?
