I think Mach 1 nailed this one perfectly.

What is kinda sad about this particular case is that the Dad probably has a very nice Nova, but the arrogant, uninformed son is playing a game of "my daddy can beat up your daddy". I used to have a nitrous injected Buick LeSabre that reached 521hp on the dyno. It was my daily driver. My ex-girlfriend of 8 years had 3 kids, and they were very impressed with the Buick, but didn't know or understand any of it's particulars. They just knew it was fast. Well, one day at little league, one of the other kids fathers approached me and asked me about my "nitro burning Buick funnycar". I looked at him puzzled, and he quickly told me the story he had heard from his kid. By the time the details of my car had reached him, it was nothing short of a top fuel funnycar/daily driver. We both had a long laugh over it, but I will say he was quite impressed when he checked it out. Still, kids take pride in their parents things, and often exagerate, especially when it's something they don't fully understand.

Take care,
-Chris
