Default The low of the day...

Well, i was sitting at the U turn lane, and i hear a rev.whine(not the supercharged type), i look behind me and there is a hoe *** Tiburon, a ******* Haundai, i laugh and throw a rev to show his ride is a mouse compaired to my lions roar...(Built 355, ported heads, XE288HR...STRAIGHT PIPE)

Well, i go under the bridge, take my time pumming out so the traffic can get way ahead, he paces me for a bit and then gets beside me to go, he hits it and i slam first and nearly instantly need to hit second, i shift and my camaro simply studders and barely speeds up, the Tiburon slowly passes me and i look at my wife like WTF?

Awesome, i know mt worn 86 TA would have killed this POS, and my 95 just flopped. I get home and check timing and i am at 5* initial and i go to advance and the ******* distributor olmost moves freely. So, i set it at 15* initial and now it is good to go, if he is lucky we will never cross paths again

If beaten by a Haundai is what happened...i guess....but the Tiburon just got his day...it happens, now he thinks he has some bad ****, and the next 4th gen he runs across will kill him and he will assume the car was spraying or some ****.

OMG dude, I bet his *** is just like that too. My buddy in his bolt-on, geared ss played with an eclipse one day. It was just a 96, maybe, rs with a fart can and my buddy in the ss was giving it just enough pedal to keep right with him. I heard about that guy saying he could outrun an ls1 after that. I would love to catch him. My car hasn't dissapointed me yet, but I'm sure it will probably happen eventually.

Awww, i would feel pretty bad (WAY TOO MANY WITNESSES), when i first got the 95 running, the fallowing friday i went to the 1/8th mile, drug every car i ran, but i spun racing a civic and had to chase hime down, i bet the first 60 foot he thought he was a bad *** till i went past him like he was on the side of the road.


Bitch is running great today, i need to tune it a bit more though.
