I can't think of anything happening to me off the top of my head, but my friend (2000 Mustang GT 500 RWHP) raced a Supra that claimed to have 700+ HP. After my buddy blew his doors in by bus lengths, this guy had the nerve to tell him "Oh, well, the tune I have will only let me shift at 4k, but if I had my car tuned, I would kill you." How ignorant can someone be??? LOL

Had a guy say his dad's mid '80's 3/4 ton work truck powered by a chevy 454 could break the tires loose at 35 mph while carrying a 500 pound sander in the bed.
Also had a waitress tell me her boyfriends Saturn Ion ran 11's stock.
If the sand truck could take care of it's traction issue's it would be a helluva race between the two.

I have a customer at work that says his 6 Cyl. firebird has 350 HP.....cause it was made in Canada and has a different ECU....and he put an aftermarket chip on top of that, so that gave him 350HP.

I was at a gas station filling up when I saw a riced out 04 GT convertable with aftermarket exhaust and rims a couple pumps over. He had those cheap T.V.s hanging off his front seats by some straps(that he probably engineered himself) and hanging off his sunvisors(two wasn't enough). Also he had a giant wing and a gay body kit . When I was done pumpping gas and leaving he jumps in his car and revs it at me. I rev back and he takes off in front of me. I follow and close in on him very easily. I get next to him and we get stopped at a light, I ask what do you run at the track? He replies 10.11. I'm like what was your trap speed? He says he can't remember. I ask what is done to his car and he says a 250 shot of NAWZ! Needless to say he wouldn't run me and I even told him he could turn his NAWZ on!
