I have the opposite luck. I have all kinds of Rice and Imports wanting to race. As Tim C can testify to, I always have one pull up next to me and rev, but theres a little whistling coming from underneath there hoods.

Tim C and I were out cruising, each in our respective stangs, and in one night I had a total of 4, yes, NO BS, a total of 4 forced induction imports pull up to me during that night, oh and 1 turbo charged Avenger, well at least I think it was an Avenger, it was all riced out, but either way it was a Mopar Product.

I'm always the Front Door (Leed Car) when cruising so I usually get first dibs. The closest of the bunch was a Maxima which definetly had some exhaust work done to it, and had a cam (sounded like a two stroke weed eater)and that whistling sound from under the hood. I was easily 1-1 1/2 car lengths infront by 65 Mph, and he fell back more after 80, thats when I turned my Flashers on and let off.

He was actually a cool guy, at the next light he gave me a big thumbs up and a nod of apreciation. I asked him if had a little Whirly Bird under the hood and he said, "Yep, its turbod" He seemed rather surprised when I told him my 2000 GT was bone stock. That was the closest of the imports that night.

The Avenger or what ever the hell it was, Now that was a close Race. Eric (Dude with the Blue 67 Fairlane) Drove my car later that night ( I had one beer at a steak house, I dont like driving, especially racing till its out of my system) and ran inot this riced looking Mopar. We pulled up next to him and i heard this distinct Turbo sound when he reved.

I remember saying to myself "Oh God, not another" Thats when the light changed and Eric Gunned it. They Both took off, Eric launched like crap, and shifted at 4900 RPM (he doesnt like driving my car hard, I dont want him to drive it hard for that matter ) The dodge was keeping up, but slowly loosing ground. By 90, his front end was probably about even with my rear bumper. ERic Let off then.

I wonder how bad I could of beat him if I was the one racing, I know I could of done a heck of a sight better.

All kinds of rice that night but no fellow Pony, or Muscle competition.

I have to say this, they for the most part seemed like cool people, giving me the thumbs up and all were surprised how potent a new Stock GT is.
