Had a run-in with a cool Ricer

I went to wal-mart to pick up some things I needed, when I was parking I heard an integra w/ black rims roll by and saw that it had an intercooler. Like always I parked like 3 spots away from everyone else like I always do and he parked a couple spots in front of me. I asked him if he had a turbo, he said ya and asked me how I knew and I said I saw the intercooler. We talked a little more and after that I just went in and got my things. When I was leaving he was walkin out too. We talked a little more and he asked me if I wanted to run. So I followed him out and we lined up and at about 15 mph he honked it off and we took off. This was the first time I had ever raced my car and I had it in second gear

we stayed even for a couple seconds then he started spooling up and he pulled like 2 lengths up to 50 where we shut down. I said lets run again this time so that I could be in 1st gear so again we were at about 15-20 mph and he honked and we took off I pulled about a 1/2 length and then missed the 1-2 shift

and he blew by me. So we went one more time but I honked it off this time I jumped out about a length in 1st gear, at about 50 we were even then he was gone, by 75 where I shut down he had like 3-4 cars on me. We pulled off and chatted a bit, he said he said he did all the work himself and he just finished it and he was only runnin like 5 lbs of boost. Pretty cool guy I said nice run and that I'd see him around and I came back home. I was pretty psyched even tho my first racing experience was a loss :gil: Now I've decided that I definately need a short throw shifter and a vortech :jeff:

turbo tegs can run in the 13s if done right!!! Sounds like this guy did right... and he doesn't seem to be much a ricer if he had the power to back up the look of the car!!!

Good loss... no shame!!!

ummm, theres plenty of turbo tegs in sa running mid to low 12s on bone stock motors. 13s is slow for a turbo teg
