I was coming down 281 (4 lane, median divided highway) into town.. As soon as I got into the city limits, I noticed some jap car flying up onto my rear... I let him get on there, turn the 10 plate and delivery valves up to 5x5 , let him get right on my back bumper and stand up in my seat, mashing down on the soot generator, completely fogging out the idiots behind me... Well, up about a ½ mile ahead, the light is turning yellow... RACE TIME!!!! I have never raced a Japanese Corvette, so I figured, what the heck, right? Well, I made SURE he had the right lane (Soot drains on that side) and I am sitting at the light.. I hear his little hamster/gerbil powered ride revving up all the family of rodents under the hood, incinuating a race.. Awesome! So I scoot up, start mashing my No-AFC Spring Soot pedal, making nasty black plumes of smoke, some of which are going straight into his car, all the time scooting up, further and further... By the time light gets to green, we are in the middle of the intersection.. Well, back to the green light... Cross light turns yellow, which means Pre stage for me, and I ease it into 3rd gear, and bring Black Betty up to 2200 RPM... As the light goes green, I ease off the clutch, making a big nasty cloud as I launch. He jumped out in front of me, but as soon as I grab 4th, I was on the side of his door! As I passed him up, I noted that then I felt bad for him... He got to hear the ear piercing loudness that a 4 inch straight exhaust makes! As I was passing him, he just waved as if to say, You win. Kind of reminds me of the look on the guy's face in the hemi commercial when he gets spanked by the pickup.. the guy and his passenger had the same expression when they came by me... I guess they realized its time for a new car, or not to play if they cant hang with a truck twice their weight and still whoops their @§§! Oh well, just thought I would post that..



BTW, I got to play with a BMW 330 Monday.. They are slow from a 60 roll... off the line they are quick, but catch them on the highway, and its not even worth playing with!

i saw some black smoke from the jetta today rounding a corner...first time i saw it. I have to REALLY jump on the throttle to get that soot. It's cause i treat the fuel i think, it keeps it relatively clean burning. Best running engine.

 

A friend got a new f250 and put the 120hp chip in it with a straight through 4" exhaust. We go out "smogging" people all the time. Its great. As soon as the turbo spools it just dumps clouds of dark black smoke out of the exhaust.

 

...and they say our Rotaries are pollution pumps.....





Nice job Banzai.



BTW - Florida Mosquito Control called and want to know if your free next week.

 

Unfortunately it wasnt me, I ganked it from the Diesel Forum. I was humored at the term "Japaneese Corvette"

 

i spun the inside wheel of the jetta about 5 minutes ago...its so out of the ordinary that i thought i broke one of the cv-joints in half...
