I mean the race not the characters:rolleyes:


"The last couple of weeks there has been this young kid in a Supra that has
been killing just about everything in town. The kid is from Austin, and I
will give him this: that car is very fast. Anyhow, a buddy of mine has a 427
LS1 with a small shot of nitrous and this kid wanted a money race so they
set it up. Anyhow, before they get to race last night, a 96 supercharged
Mustang GT challenges him. The 'Vette has already beat the Mustang pretty
good out at Idalou. The Mustang is running mid to high 11's so my buddy
figures that they can line up to see what he is going up against because
rumor is that this Supra is high to mid 9's in Austin. Well, they line up
and the Mustang gets its doors completely ripped off. Not even a race. This
got my buddy worried, because he had $500 dollars on the bet with the Supra
that he might lose. So the Supra and the Vette line up and my buddy hangs
with him to about 60 and then the kid just flat walks him by about 4 car's.
They did it again from a rolling start and it just got worse from there.
Well, my buddy hands over the money while this kid is mouthing off about how
Supra's are so great and that he will beat any domestic car. We were all
standing in a group looking at the Supra's engine and listening to this kid
run his mouth when I hear the most wonderful sound I have ever heard.....a
black dark-ass-tinted 70 Dart rolls up with a huge blower sticking out of
the hood and a rumble that was shaking the ground. The kid looks at the car
and I think about this time he realized he may be in trouble, but he can't
back down now. I hear some kind of click and this Dart starts slowly heating
up the huge meats on the back of the car. Not fast mind you, just slowly
gathering speed as if he could have destroyed them at will, but was just
playing around. About this time, I look and I realize who this is (I should
have known) due to the smoking skulls on the side of it: Mr. Voodoo Childe
himself. You talk about putting a smile on my face. Anyhow, so this kid
walks over to the car and they agree to run the two for $1000. They line up
and the kid starts to due a burnout. I tell my buddy, with a smile, watch
this becasue you may never get to see it again. By this time the Mustang
guys and him are wondering what the hell is in this car and how I know about
it. The kid does a pretty long burnout and backs up. I hear that ominous
click again, he purges and all hell breaks loose. That Dart annihalated what
looked like about 16 or 17 inch-wide tires on the back of it. I am thinking
yeah now your all mighty Supra is getting ready to be destroyed. They line
up and I guess they agreed to let the Supra honk to start. Well, the kid
leaves before the 3rd honk and pulls about 1 and half car lengths on the
Dart. That lasted about a half a second because when that Dart left (Putting
about 12 inches of air under the front tires) he blew by that Supra like it
was sitting still. I bet he had him by 15 to 20 car lengths when they
shutdown. I guess that is why he has AZZKIKR on the license plates. They
stopped and the kid handed him the money and they drove off. I would have
loved to talk to him about how he knew we were going to be there?"

:D :D :D

If the Supra was running mid 9's... what the hell was the other car running?????:eek: :eek: :eek:

I assume that the Austin is Austin, Texas. We'll have to ask Nismo_Freak when he appears next. :)

Dunno if that story is true or not but a blown big block V8 will make 1000bhp on pump fuel without breaking a sweat. Run it on C16 with a 300 shot of nitrous and you could easily double that and get into the 7's.

:D
