You know what that means right? You just have to get the Budget LE1 package that is I think sub $1K, and beat his $3K package. Make sure to record it all and get the look on his face when you beat him and tell him how much you paid. Which, you don't tell him how much it is till it's on the car and you've raced. Just tell him it was $4200 lol If he DOES win, and tries to throw it back in your face, then all you have to do is say "Notice by how little you beat me? Well, I have a secret... My kit only ran $xxx!" Then show him the receipt

There's people out there that just will not change their mind on things because they're certain it's the best thing out there. I think I'll dub that Ricer/Mustang Syndrome! They all tend to think their little cars are hot rods, or that their Mustang is the fastest thing on 4 wheels, and all of us know that it really isn't the case! How many of us have stomped a ricer or 'stang? Don't worry about answering, it was a rhetorical question lol But that's the point, we all have on countless occasions. Hell, I beat an S2000 in my 91 350 TPI that was 97% stock with basically just the same mods in my sig (minus injectors and CAI), he was cool though and waved and nodded as he drove by

There'll be a time when his ego will backfire horribly, and I hope you're there to throw it back in his face like he's been doing to you

ya but dont you love how when you win there are a million reasons why the other person lost they shifted to late or they missed a shift lol. i got lucky at the strip and beat a 5.7 gto with a procharger and he gave me every reason why he lost. lucky for me he was right about 97% of the reasons why he lols but i still won and can brag that i beat a procharged gto. the greatest thing is my friend belives that hes going to run 10s with the lt4 package cant wait ill post a movie of the race when it happends this summer
