Sorry Honda boy.....

I went to the store one day in the 87 GN. As I was driving through town I noticed a cop sitting, clocking people. As I came back through town about 20min later, I pulled up to a light and some ricer pulled up next to me and started revving his engine........yeah, right........ So as the light turned green I let this rice rocket full of kids get a good head start, and you could tell he was really getting on it. After he got a ways ahead of me, I floored it and blew his doors off, then I slammed on the brakes knowing the cop was sitting ahead. As this kid went by me, then the cop, (hard to see) he was still accelerating. He must have been doing 60 in a 25. The cop pulled out behind me and flicked his lights on, just as I thought he got me, he swerved around me and went after the Honda. HAHAHAHAHAHA that was great!

 

hahaha... another happy ending! :3gears:

 

Same story different town but this time the honda reved it up and ran into the back of the car in front of him... All I did was pull up next to him at the lite and rev it just a little. I never even touched the gas. He just bolted...oh yea he needed to look forward as there was a car in front of him the whole time.ou:

 

Mike,that same thing happened to me.But I was the one that got hit! I was at a light and a newer Maxima behind me was reving up against a newer Z28.Guess they were going to race! Didn't know how,with me in front of one of them. Green light,I start to take off and Z28 blasts by me and then I heard schreeching tires and WHAM!. We pull over and Maxima kid says he's sorry and wonders how he's going to tell his mom about the big hole punched in the bumper cover. He hit my hitch! No damage to my truck at all. I didn't even call the cops,figured he was going to squirm enough explaining to the mama.

 

those honDUH boyz think those big "fart pipe" exhaust tips give them a big power increase, but those Briggs engines can only go so fast :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

glorious:3gears:

 

Yeah, I had a honda kid on Saturday who kept trying to race past me going down the road, but he just couldn't beat me. We finally got to a red light he started cussing me out "Your old car is a Piece of s---!!! No one cars about your old POS!!!" He was in the left turn lane and there was an open lane between us so I told him to come over and show me how fast his honda was. He kept yelling. When his arrow turned green he started to pull out and threw a water bottle at me. I was pissed. :af: but nothing I could do. By that point someone had pulled between us and the intersection had crowded up.

Now I laugh about it. I figure he must have really known just how crappy his car was.

 

Wait...fart cans don't add 50 hp? ou:

 

Not 50 HP, just 50 decibels!!!

 

It's the stickers that add the 50HP you nincompoop!!:bla:

 

I had some honda boy riding my bumper a little while ago.. We got to a light there were cars in front so I couldn't really do much.. So I let traffic go a little to get some room.. then just punched it.. The tires lit up nicely and after a couple of seconds I left the little honda in a cloud of tire smoke..

He backed off quickly after that, torque is so much fun. :grin:

 

Supra Boy spots me and begins taunting and tailgating.

Turbo Regal is back together with new motor, tranny and turbocharger.
Had it out just cruising after retorquing the heads and only have about 12# of boost set up and 15 miles on it and the alky spray is not hooked up either.

I'm repeating "no I can't, no I can't, no I can't".

Darn light turns red and he jumps beside me.

Oh so what, if I lose, I lose. That will make all the more fun the next time!

I reach down by the ashtray and give the boost knob a half twist (should be about 15-16#).

I do not preload the turbo and just go on the green.

I took him out of the hole with no boost on an 8-1 compression V6 in a 3700# car with a 3000 stall converter. Guy had to be sleeping.

He pulls alongside and begins to slide past as his small turbo is on boost and my big vacuum cleaner is going wait, wait, wait.......NOW!

Even at 16# boost the turbo screeches just like a Bald Eagle back through the 9" K&N in my left front fender now even with the open window in his passenger door and he turns his head with this look on his face that says what is that?

The Regal just squeals the new Firestone Firehawks and shoots forward.

I now have a car length.

The trans governor shifts it into second at 5200-5300 and the tires let out another squeal. The car gets crooked just a bit and I have another car length. Hold the pedal to the floor for another second or two.

I am now at 60 mph in a 45 and let off, the Supra still fading.

He pulls in behind me and stays there until he turns off.

Not even a thumbs up, wave, finger up, nothing!

No no no, the stickers are 25 hp depending on brands.
The fart can is 50 hp easy
The racing stripes are another 25 easy (50 if they're flamed stripes)
The aluminum pic-nik table thing on the back is at least a 100 mph gain which = about 125 hp
unpainted body kit adds another 35 or so
painted body kit is only about 30 hp

So with about 800 lbs of crap bolted onto a decent running, double digit HP, stock car will get you lots of looks, no chicks but about 225 extra hp. Should be running 12s with ease! A fully built muscle car or a turbo buick cannot compete with that...:boring:

 

Geeze, you kids....all of us old timers know if you paint the color matching steel wheels "gloss black"...it adds 5 HP. AND...if you paint the center hubs and lug nuts silver it adds another 5. It really made a difference to Dad's 61 Bel Air with a straight 6!!!!!

 

I have always found it amusing they put downforce on the rear wheels of a front wheel driver. LOL

I don't have a "rear wing" and the Turbo Regal only lifts the front wheels (steering gets scary light) at about 145+ MPH and still pulling hard. If it was lifting the rear tires they would break loose. So I need to mount a pic-nik table on the front to get my 125 HP gain.

Mikey

 

The carbon fiber centercaps give you about 8 hp. So, don't even bother painting them.

You should put a wing on the front and back just to make sure. Maybe squeeze a few extra HP if you paint some flames on them. Maybe just cover them in stickers...flamed stickers

 

Robert,

I just noticed you have a 59 Starchief!

I have been trying to get my wife's, mom's 58 Starchief wagon but her family just leaves it in a barn in Iowa. Her mom had it completely restored and they are going to let it rot if I don't get something done.

Mikey

 

Sounds like you need to grab that beast! I love the old wagons!

 

I love it when the cop goes around you. had that happen several times. gets your heart going big time.
