Was challenged today...

[slasherbarb]

By some spanish dude in a white 240...i was getting in my car to leave school today and this white 240 drove by...i glace over as the i can see the guy was giving me a "my car is 2 fast and 2 furious" look, and he goes to the end of the lot and revs a few times, nothing special...so i chuckle and get in my car...i start it up, and then notice he is right behind me now!! so im thinking,:huh:...and he utters those famous words "Wanna run?" Now i try not to laugh, but i humored him and said "Sure. When the weather is warmer, come find me." He then goes on to ask me if it was a Z28(at least he somewhat can distinguish an f-body)...I say yes and give a nice rev...i can actualy see his cocky smile fade a little...he asked if it was stick or auto...and i said it was auto...blah blah blah. He said "Run ya soon." And i saw him pull away and leave...he actually followed he halfway home, so im kinda creeped out...i actually hope he comes and finds me so i can shut him up or embarass him in front of his friends.

Let me describe the car too a bit...white 240, stock exhaust, didnt hear a turbo spool when he revved, and a Red/Black grant steering wheel from what i can see...could be fun...we'll have to wait and see...

I love thsoe kids who think auto = slow car

[trashman01]

sounds like me every time in gettin into my car at campus, every ricer looks at me when i pull away and it echoes off the walls in the parking garage and car alarms going off

[misterjuice]

****in barb..........turbo don't spool at idle.........well not that much that you would hear anyway....there's gotta be at least a little load on the engine.

:typeR:

[bluecobaltss06]

Sorry kasey...but an untuned auto is slower than a manual ;) But a properly tuned auto is almost untouchable

[bad64chevelle]

:werd:

[slasherbarb]

****in barb..........turbo don't spool at idle.........well not that much that you would hear anyway....there's gotta be at least a little load on the engine.well he was only two feet away from me...and i know turbos dont spool at idle, i meant when he revved it...

[misterjuice]

even then if he was in neutral.......it u still won't hear the turbo..........if he had one.

U sure he didn't have one of those electronic blow off valve noise maker, cuz those add like 300 hp.

It's funny isn't it?

ughh why not?

[JL8Jeff]

You could hear the turbo in my old 4Runner when I revved it. It spins all the time so why wouldn't you hear it? You won't hear the wastegate opening and giving you that whooosh sound but you'll hear it spooling.

[Brando56894]

silly ricers....

True is some cases BUT an untuned auto will still be faster than a manual if the guy driving stick is a ****** driver ;)

[Tru2Chevy]

Stick = Fast
Auto = Quick

[Brando56894]

the way i see it is it would be easier to have an auto if you have a 12 second or under car cuz shifting outta first gear comes quick

[bad64chevelle]

yeah but what happens when you have two people driving the same car on the same night.
Driver A has perfect conditions, only spins first and a little of second and goes 13.2x @109
Driver B has terrible track conditions (later in the night) cuts a better 60', spins going into every gear cause the track got slippery after a few ricers drop some fluids, he goes 13.3x@111 and never even drove the car before in his life.
What would you call that Kasey?

*awaits Jakes response..*

[Savage_Messiah]

Id say you and Jake both suck :stfu:

OH yeah. Thoes 305 TBIs are Beasts

[Teds89IROC]

stick is only faster if you can really drive...there are very few people who can shift as perfectly (accurately and fast enough) as a programmed computer..ie auto trans

***UPDATE***

saw the same kid today as i was walking in the parking lot...he asked me to come over to talk to him...he wanted to double check if i had an ss or a z28, and if i had an ls1 or lt1...plus he blabbed about racing a 93z that puts down 310hp blah blah blah "it was fast." heard him driving, no turbo or SC heard, just it sounds a little meatier than aa stock 240, maybe heads and cam work, idk whatever...he is still begging to run...anyone here race this guy...a white 240 with black rims???

[Tru2Chevy]

Run him after your "tune-up". If he's NA, he won't stand a chance then....

- Justin

[slasherbarb]

ohh i plan on not running till may...plenty of time for the goodies to go in...bwahahahahaha

[WayFast84]

:nod: :lol: I love thsoe kids who think auto = slow car
Everyone that knows I has a car in my school is like auto sucks....Im like **** you, get a car then talk...

[1972LT1]

Manuals are great but I like my THM400. It's a little heavier than a manual but you never have to worry about burning up a clutch.:twisted: P.S. Rice is for eating not for driving.

[ar0ck]

haha Barb, that kid just bought a cut-out from us. Kinda darked skinned, guido blow out; or close to it? He even asked me if I went to William Paterson. I Figure he confused my buddies red formula for Brandons Firebird... It's N/A ;-)

When your done with him send him my way :lol:

[Ian]

Barb, you should race him before you do all those mods to your car. It's not gonna be fair once you have all that stuff. :lol:
