1st kill with new motor

[89 Cobra LX]

I changed my oil and spark plugs on Saturday and now that I've got my combo straightened out (if you're read my some of my previous posts, you'll know the motor I purchased from Excessive Motorsports wasn't put together correctly) I decided it was time to find some action.

I didn't find much, but I ran across a riced-out Eclipse. This thing had the biggest coffee can I've ever seen sticking out the back, I mean this thing was huge. Speaking of huge, the factory spoiler was replaced with what appeared to be a picnic table. I'm sure this guy figured he was making 500hp on appearance alone.

So I pull up next to him doing about 45mph and he downshifts to 2nd. I could hear the turbo spooling and I thought this may be a race. I put it in 3rd gear and hopped it once. He punches on it and I go a split second later. He's next to me for all of 1 second. I pulled 4-5 car lengths in 3rd and at least another 10 lengths in 4th.

I don't think I'll be fooling with the ricers anymore unless they're asking for it. They just can't hang. I need to find me some good-ol American-made V-8 action.
