Default hello!

Hi there,

My name is Matt, and this post is a Thank you to building great cars.

I live in a small town called Bedford, Indiana..
Imports rule this town, I myself personally drive a jetta.
Current mods: Stage 2 Revo, 3 In downpipe, borla exhaust, 50mm turbo, and a 50 shot of nos, on my stock body jetta. I haven't upgraded internals as I have just recently been laid off work. My car is pushing easily 280-300 HP range, never been dyno'd.

Yesterday night I had a quiet, stock looking camaro pull up next to me, and I let him hear my anti-lag, thinking maybe I could get him to do a quick pull with me. Well, that pull was me getting walked over, he had a cut-out that he opened and I though I was going to have to go to the bathroom and rub one out. He never gave me a rev, but the idle shook my car. So here we go, I spool up to 3900 Rpms, building boost, I hear him break boost in, the light turns green, I smash my gas peddle, engaging my nitrous as it hit's the floor, and I hear the beautiful v8 scream, and to my surprise I hear a supercharger screaming as well. I'm fighting torque steer through third gear, and by the time I gain traction he was already 8-10 cars ahead of me. I lost sadly, the guy waved me over, and we agree'd to stop at a Denny's and chat. This fella was the most respectful person I've ever met. He told me that he got advice from this forum. Keep doing what you guys do, because I an ready for a car scene change.
Your friendly car enthusiast.
