First the legal stuff, in no part does the writer, poster, and readers condone street racing, please obey you local laws and posted speed limits. This is posted for enterainment only and is a purely fictional event (uhhhh riiIIIiiiight :roll: ). Please enjoy responsibly.

Now the story.

I was heading home from tonight in my daily driver ( '98 Mercury Mystique) on a major local road that shall for remain unnamed in this story. When I saw two set of headlights closing in on me at a very rapid rate (est. they were probably doing about 110 mph based on my 75 mph). Both cars blow by me while I just cruise along at my speed, I get a good look as they go by, a white Tiburon and a silver s2000 both looked to be modded. About a mile down the road I end up at a stoplight next to the both of them. I hear the driver of the Tiburon yell at the driver of the honda open up that bottle, boy! The honda's driver obliges with a quick purge. Neither driver acknoledges my presence in the third lane with my stock appearing merc. so I decide that if they take off that I'd like to see what my car will do too. I reach around to the passenger side rear floor and open up the sneaky pete bottle just for the heck of it. A couple of seconds later the light turns green. The honda boggs off the line and loses about a car and half but the tiburon and myself get off clean and even. First shift I stay even with the tiburon the honda regains about half a car. Second shift the s2000 is now even with me and I've got about a bumper on the tiburon, third shift the honda pulls out one car from me and I'm now one car ahead the the Hyundai. The S2000 was very slowly pulling away from me in 4th and I was doing the same to the Tiburon so I decide to let off at 120 (and yes I was on the bottle if you can call it that, < 25 shot through the zex filter). Good fun, I hope I run into them at the track sometime so I can see how I am without the 80lbs of tools and crud in the back of my car.

new best time last night, on the bottle, 10.21 @ 72 mph blowing the tires off of it on the line, and no I dont clame it to be a sleeper, if I wanted it to be a sleeper it'd be converted to rwd and have a 5.0L v8 out of a mustang and look like it does now. The tib had black wheels but no body kit, it didnt sound stock either. Thanks for the comments.

It may have had a turbo, but I doubt it, it kinda sounded like it had a supercharger, either that or its got straight cut gears, cause it had a distinct whine to it. He came haulin butt by me again tonight but I decided it was too cold to play.

hmm, cars travel, lol. the guy with the 22psi tib lives in palm harbor but his car isnt running right now and he said it wasnt him. but the guy with the s/c stays in north tampa i think. not sure where he stays.

in the story, the tib beats the s2k before the nitrous.

well, like I told grim, it wasn't me, my car hasn't been running for awhile due to an exhaust leak, then I decided to take out the eManage and swtich to something else...

and yes I run 22psi (street) on a i4 tiburon, which produced 341whp / 297tq on stock timing and no fuel tuning (it was just turned down to allow for the 680cc injectors...) that was while trying to dyno tune it...

During the dyno tune I quickly learned that Donnie's POS shop, Gulf Coast Turbo, doesn't know their ass from their head... and didn't hook up the eManage correctly so I never got to tune the car... Now I'm moving to something other than the eManage (since the Tiburon was never meant to be support by the eManage in the first place)
