WELLLLLL....what a night!!! 
Started off with me, my brother, and my friend meeting up with other friends at a Media Play. 10 minutes later I'm giving a ride to our little ricer friend who was all excited to see my car for the 1st time. I had the ****** at like 8psi, I was really pissed cause I felt SOOOOOO damn slow So I pulled over and turned it up to 12psi. BUWAHAHAHAAAA
Couple of mid 2nd and 3rd gear quickies with some riced out Honda's and a couple mustang GT's, cobra's, whatever... I owned em' all.
Dropped the kid back off, start driving my other friend basically and after one "lap" we get next to this blue Civic or CRX...I dunno. But anyways, I bogged 1st (as usual), but at about 3K we both go full-throttle. I was surprised, the thing was right next to me, next comes 2nd, but as soon as I hit 5K I was leavin' his ***. We're talking 1 car length per 1,000 RPM. Yeah, I hate my 1st gear! So SLOW! I can't seem to EVER get a good launch either!
Next we come across some mid 90's Mustang Cobra thingy, sounded just like the rest, and at one point he was 2 cars ahead of me at high revs, so I put it in 3rd, at about 4K. He goes, split second later I'm going, and here I come just pullin' like a ****, and by about 70/80mph (high 3rd gear), I had pulled a full car on him, but of course I had to slow WAY the hell down and make this left into a Mountasia to meet my friends.
Last but not least... my first "loss"...
Some mid 90's Cobra, loud as hell, was basically having his fun with some nasty little Chevy Impala, and basically, I got the guy to follow me for a U-turn. He goes wide to the right lane, I'm in the left. I hear his engine at high revs, but we were only in 1st so I was like "damn it, I wanna be in 2nd.." but basically, he nails it, I nail it, and he pulls 1 car on me by the end of 1st. When I shifted shittally into 2nd gear, I was just sitting dead even with him at his rear bumper, so at high 2nd, he lets off so I let off. Now the whole time he's got his hand out the window pointing back at me or something as if he was actually going to just dust me. But anyways, he slows down, and I'm like "Hey man, that thing's pretty quick! You outta race my brother!" LMAO... He basically pulls off for a turn, and he complimented me, asked if it was turbo (...idiot...), and I was like "Yeah, just got her runnin' a few weeks ago, I'm only at like 10psi." He was still like "That thing is alot faster than I though it would be, man. Take it easy." or something like that.. ******!
It was so gay, I was mad! If we had started from 4,000 in 2nd gear it would have been completely different! I'll tell you, later on I got in some REALLY fast shifts into 2nd gear and my back end was goin left and right like a mother ****** from the POWAAAA....but when I raced him I did a **** job and only barked 2nd.
Overall, it was an AWESOME night!!! And my friend who rode with me the whole time gave me $8.00 for gas since I ended up driving his *** for like 3 hours.
I was getting compliments left and right, and it felt great! Whoooooooo!!!

And the best part of all was...my brother found my coolant leak that I had, and my coolant resevoir didn't move a dime the WHOLE night! WOOOT
In fact, she was runnin' at about 1/3 most of the night, even on the highway when I hit 130MPH in 4th gear (I have no 5th gear)...LoL
The temperature rose to a little under half a few times after a couple of high rev fly-byes...
Now then, besides the fuel-pressure bouncing like a Mexican jumping bea, then car's running GREAT!

You gotta stop and talk to people. I have had the same thing happen to me, I got burned by a 5.0 because I mis-shifted. I pulled over and asked to run him again, and to make a long story short had him by 4 car lengths at 60mph In a n/a
