let me start this story out with....
about 3 months ago these highschool guys started stopping by the house checking out the turbo regals.
they never really introduced themselves, or gave their names, but i see them driving around town about every 2-3 weeks and wave- cause usually we are going in the opposite directions.
about a month ago i was driving the 02 dodge dually diesel to the parts store to fetch some stuff, and i run into these same kids on a side street here in town... except this time we are driving in the same direction and turning onto the main 4 lane road together
he drives a 89 bonnieville sse NON supercharged car
we head up to the next red light and stop, i look over to my right{ exhaust from my truck dumps on that side, straight thru muffler too} and proceed to rev the engine up just to start smoking them out... lol i worked cause i got the holeshot, and he couldnt catch up to me till we hit 45 or so, but HE NEVER GOT AROUND ME
FAST FORWARD---
last night i run into this same kid, same street, except the truck isnt completely warmed up- and its 40* cooler out
well, we are first in line taking the 90* left hand turn, and he guns it around the corner--
i slowly row through the gears, and shift into 3rd, then 4th lagging the truck just a tad and he does the coolest thing,... he actually slows down for our rematch from last month
so ive got the truck at 2,000 rpms in 4th, cruising up on him at around 30?? 35mph?? and he stops slowing down as im coming up on his bumper, and starts matching my speed, for a rolling run.
i get right on his rear bumper, and notice that im not gaining, hes not leading, and our speeds are pretty much the same.. right at 35ish-
i nail the throttle, so does he, and proceed to lay out a HUGE cloud of black smoke all over them as i pass him with both of his windows wide open
he was getting after it the entire time, and stayed right in the sweet spot all the way to about 65ish, and all i could do was laugh!!!!!
now its clear that his car is faster, but i didnt care about winning or loosing in the tow rig, all i wanted was for him to eat my smoke bomb
im thinking of trading in the 02 for a new 03 4 door-
here is a stock turbo dynograph of a new 03
