I was cruising around with my girlfriend Friday night with the top down and I was turning left from one major 4 lane road onto another. I was passing a truck and saw a set of firebird headlights riding my ass, so I get over into the right hand lane. The Firebird went to pass me, then stopped while off of my left front corner. My g/f and I were wondering what the hell he was doing until he dropped back next to my door again, looked at me and surged back up to the front corner. He revved a few times and I had about 2 seconds of hesitation as to whether or not to smoke his butt. When I realized what section of road I was on (no side streets or places for a cop to hide) and the Firebird revved one more time, my mind was made. I stopped mid-sentence and dropped from 5th to 3rd. I passed the Firebird like he was in reverse. I put the Supra back into 5th when I was about 3/4 of a mile up the road and settled back into a legal-speed cruise so my girlfriend could start breathing again. So what does the Firebird do? Ricer fly-by. At the next light I complimented him on how his car sounded and he just turned his nose up at me and took off. I eventually got up next to his left rear corner and just stayed there. Every now and then I would surge a little so he could hear the turbo and my BPV through his open window. When he went to turn off of the street we were on I gave him a full boost blow-off right in his window.

With all that being said, it wasn't a direct line up. More of me showing some punk kid not to mess with an older car - he still might get schooled. I'm not even sure what engine package it was. All I know is that I wanted to see the look on his face when he heard my turbo at almost 12psi screaming past his passenger window

Haha, good job letting that punk know what's up!

I like the part where you were pacing behind him a little, blowing off, and then when he goes to turn you give him a full boost drive-by :D

That's the stuff of dreams!

the sad thing about all this is that I'm still running my NA cat-back that's killing my RWHP......guess he thought I was NA........guess I should put a turbo badge on the back. woops. lol. Pretty sure he found out the hard way. Just a note: I'm running a Bosch Porshe spec BPV, not a vented HKS or the like. But its still loud enough to get some attention.

Nah, not around where I live. I'll get my full 3" soon enough. I've heard stockers clearly before too.....but the Bosch is really loud, especially with my 57 trim.

when I went t4, off went the turbo badge.... It's great fun being sneaky! especially when my exhaust looks stock, and sounds close to stock.

I also giggle like a school girl when someone revs at me. They don't know what I've got...
