Default Short story..

I went to martial arts last night, and all of a sudden this guy walks in and supposively his son is in the class with me.all of a sudden he is talking to the kid while he is in the middle of class, "son, I am going to buy you that red trans am out there" which is a buddy's 99 v6. I kind of got annoyed, but I stayed quite. Later on he starts bragging about the trans am's he owns and how he is a wiz at cars. Level of aggravation got higher. Eventually he said his car will beat everyone's. Now I'm pissed. I should of drop kicked the **** out of him, but I am not like that. So I ask him: "what do you have done to your t/a"
Douche: it's got a bad *** blower in it" then he looks at his wife and winks at her.

Me: what kind

Douche: procharger a1

Me: intercooled? High output? How many pounds of boost?

Douche: ( he starts stuttering) it has two intercoolers, high out put, and 15lb's of boost.

Meb.s.) really? That's pretty bad ***. Stock bottom end?

Douche: yes then he changes his mind and says no.

Me: did you Dyno it? How much power did it make?

Douche: 600+

Mea stock ls1 can't hold that) what else do you have done to it?

Douche: just got some injectors and a clutch.

Me: what kind.

Douche: I forgot.

Me: what do you do for a living?

Douche: autozone.

Me: (working at autozone, you should know many brands of parts, nevertheless the parts that you f*king use!!) nicee. We should line our cars up some time

Douche: what do you have? My car will walk all over you

Me: 04 z06 with a hall tech intake, ported throttle body, long tube's, off road x-pipes, etc.

Douche: ( starts stuttering like a mf'er). Ye-yeah maybe we should. Honey (his wife) we need to leave.

The end! Lol! Don't you guys love liars like these?

Should have asked him what color the blower wheel is inside the housing of the procharger probably would have said black with flames or something.

Vetteboy did u ever see under the hood ? Although the guy might be a douche , he still could have a had a blower , plenty of dumb ppl buy built cars or take them to shops and never involve themselves in the build
The fact that you felt the need to pay attention to his conversation that did not involve you and then proceed to call him out on it , then post in here about it , well that makes you look like a tool

Nope, the fact that he drove a rice burning 90's blazer told me he was lying. And you don't have to post on my thread if what you are saying makes no sense.

so in order to own a supercharged car you must drive it at all the times ? new flash most ppl have daily drivers, hell i drive a p.o.s work truck or my 89 bronco most the time
And what does not make sense is why your story was posted at all? cool story bro ! and why the hell was it posted in a technical forum by someone that does not even own a force inducted car ?

Although I think it's funny the guy doesn't know whats in his own car, but at the same time shops cater to guys and build turnkey supercharged setups for guys. I am actually kinda surprised when i run into people at a cruise night that have a procharger and don't know much about their setup.

Iirc...GM installed either a 2.8 or 4.3 v6 in the 90s S10 blazers..fullsize had 5.0 or 5.7....none of which were "rice burning". But i could be wrong

Facts known by **** talker according to OP; 1. his car was faster than any other in the parking lot, 2. was procharged, 3. Guy said he was a wiz at cars, 4. Didnt know **** about it, 6. was called out to race, 7. didnt wanna race after talking ****. This leads me to think the guy is a no nothing **** talker that got called out. Good job OP, I hate **** talkers who talk a good game but dont back it up.

To those that think he really does have a 'charged ls1, if he really had one, and really had 600whp, why didn't he go to mexico with a slow 400whp vette? Honestly, this guy most likely wouldn't know anything about weight differences, so if he was real he should have agreed
