Was taking an evening run to Tower records to pick up a CD and ended up at a light with a 'racer-boy' (ala Fast and Furious) Turbo Celica with huge stainless steel exhaust and VERY obvious spool-whine. He must have been behind me for a light or so and decided he wanted some of me. I had caught him loading up against his clutch so I had her in 1st with o/d off and had her leaning on the revs to 1500. Light turns green and I tell the pedal to go take a dirt nap, the beast responds by making the tires complain about the beating, then they hook-up. At about 1/8 mile I start to pull away and the monster comes "on cam" and you can hear the note coming from under the hood as well as out the duals. Here comes 6Krpm and the shift to second...."chirp". No hope for him now as the Merc pulls all the way to the top of its powerband, lots of distance and it grows........
Remeber this is a Turbo Celica with a BIG weight advantage and an intercooled turbo. i heard that thing spool up, too. But it didn't do him any good.
At the next light he has the window open and his jaw in his lap.
"I know what I have, WTF is in THAT evil f-in thing?"
I smile
(cue the anouncer)
"Thanks for playing"
"What do we have for him Johnny?"
"Crow, and lots of egg for his face!"
