[QUOTE="riocobra97, post: 10215073, member: 85754"] So this isn't a great kill or anything, I just thought it was pretty comical. So I will start by saying that right now my cars stock fuel system cant support the power the car is capable of. For this reason we have a SUPER conservative tune in it and i don't rev it over 6,000 rpm for any reason. I'm constantly monitoring the wide-band under throttle. Just out of curiosity I dyno'd the car about a month and a half ago, and shutting down at 5800, with 12.4 on the wide-band, still huffed out 508.2 rwhp. With that being said, here is the quick story. I'm driving home from work around 8pm last night, get off I-85 onto Harris Blvd, to head toward the apartment. The exit ramp circles around onto Harris and its just a yield and merge at the top. There are a few cars coming so i figure a little gas will do to get to the speed limit and merge. As i get on it, an older model Eclipse comes flying up beside me. He does a little ricer flyby and then is slowed up by traffic. We stay pretty close most of the way down Harris Blvd, with him showing off most of the way. I decided to go ahead and stay with this guy, just in case we got a break in traffic, so i could open it up a little. I finally decided to do a U-turn and head back, at this time he was behind me, and followed suit with a U-turn himself. I look ahead, perfect, no traffic for a mile or more. As i make the turn i shift into second and just cruise at about 35 waiting on him to pull up beside me. He gets beside me and hangs there for a second, then floors it. I roll into the gas and spin through second, and put a half a car on him instantly, short shift into third(shifted at 6,000), and somehow find traction. At this point its useless, I begin quickly putting bus lengths on him. I shut down 3/4 through 3rd with about 2 bus lenghts in between us. We pull up to the next traffic light and he pulls up beside me asking how much power i was making. I told him around 500, and with an open mouth and a stupid expression on his face he turned at the light and drove off. Sorry for the short, long story, just thought Id share. :burnout: [/QUOTE]
