If loosing once to a tuner/ ricer is bad enough i lost twice...
1st time was at a intersection a 2 door golf gti seemed harmless we both looked at each other and new what was going to happen. As soon as the light turned green we punched it and he had me by at least a car when i got through the intersection. All i heard was the blowoff valve and my motor lol. I later stopped and talked to him and his interior was all taken out with a cage. never got to see the turbo.
2nd time was nothing too special did a 30 roll with a newer cobalt ss with the blower it was a stage 2 he said and he was ahead of my by a nose the whole time.

my first loss ohhh this sucks i didnt ever want to post about a four banger but here goes... so the other day i was on my lunch break and needed to shoot home and grab something, anyway.. i was cruising along on the freeway when all i see is a black misubishi shoot up on my *** and stay right behind me.. i take the offramp thinking nothing other then stupid import.. so the light turns green i notice he takes a left. so i was supposed to take a right but he had me wondering so i follow and take a left as well.. i get in the fast lane and he stayed in the slow lane, i get up next to him and relize he is just waiting for me.. i hear a quick downshift and hear him get in the powerband so i down shift into first(aprox 20 mph) as soon as i down shift he jumps on it.. all i hear is turbo so i jump on it too... side by side for a sec,, i spin at first so he starts to pull but i stay in it, i grab second and catch him again but only for a second...i can hear his car more then my own. he starts to pull away again slowly but none the less.. i hear him hit the revlimiter and grab the next year but we were ran out of room(traffic).. plus we were going about 80 in a 35 zone.. so i let out... i knew there was a quick evo around town but now i got too see it for myself.. after the run i gave him a wave and we went on our seperate ways. i later found out from the local lancer guy that its a 495 hp dyno queen.... haha that dyno queen put it down pretty hard..haha... oh well. cant win 'em all... my car is a 2000 m6 with intake exhaust and a tune.

That's why I hate when people ask or say up numbers. Most people lie like crazy. My old GSX made 530ish on 31psi on a 2.4l with pump gas on a 5 speed. I took it to the track after the auto swap and only ran 28-29psi and ran mid tens at 128-130. People said my car was making 600+ but in reality maybe 450. They thought I was bs'ing on my hp numbers, since a few "500" hp cars were only doing 120 traps and mid to high 11's

I'll only tell people what it makes on pump, I just feel odd saying what it can do on racegas. I need to get it redyno'd on racegas since I figured out a couple issues though.

Most of us who have been in the game for awhile don't worry about dyno numbers.
I've seen cars go from one dyno to another 2 hours later, same tune, and lay down 20-25% more power.
I've seen way too many "500 hp" cars trap < 120. Unless they're talking crank hp, but crank hp is like measuring your dick from behind your *****.

No prob. 
500whp in an Evo should be a high 10 second ride on a good tire.

you mean you don't measure from behind the *****?... aw shyt...lol. The thing you guys might be missing is that a 450hp awd car will pretty much rape anything on the street. Rwd cars need big power to run them down on the street, but at the track where that rwd car can launch as hard as the awd you now have a good race! I have beat a few Supra's and Vette's in my STi on the street but i think at the track on the right tires the Vette may get me...lol. Supra's are dyno queens mainly but you find the right and... well you know the outcome...lol.
