This is the section of the forum that talks about steet races and I have a good one to tell that happened several months ago. Ok, I often get street races living in LA near Marina Del Rey, there is this one steet that is about a mile long, no cops, no lights and alot of sports cars drive it regularly. Anyway, I had been feeling very good about the way my car was running of late. I have an sc400 with a little over 400HP or so, with a decent drive train setup, Supra LSD, and a Torque Converter, lowered an inch and with nos, anyway I had previously raced an M3 BMW and beat it, not by much but I handled it, and so I am cruising the Lexo down this street I was talking about, it is night and pull up to the first and only red light entering into this mile stretch. I look over and what do I see? A fat black lowered,tinted, and pimped out new 745 BMW with a tiny NBA logo near the door handles . I look real hard through the tint and I believe it was Lamar Odom of the Los Angeles Lakers. I think nothing of it because I see the athletes and movie stars all the time around here, and I don't think much of the BMW 745 either because I had just smoked an newer M3 BMW just the other day and I know those are faster.
The nos bottle is charged and armed, the light turns green, and I am off. I thought I would show Lamar not to mess with an SC400 like mine, I think I suprised him and I think he did not take me serious, but I have the great start hit the nos and the rears start spinning, and at that point I am just looking into my rear mirror and I know as soon as my tires grip in second gear my car is gone and very hard to beat from like 20mph-50mph that is my power area, anyway, what do I see? That beamer screaming down the road and starting to catch up to me, and he is catching me in my power area too, we get all the way upto about 100mph hour and we had to shut down thank god, but I look over and he was right behind me, and I could not believe it.
I still won the race end of story, that BMW had a serious airforced induction setup on it no dought and was fast as sh_t!!!!!!! I could hear his engine over mine when we were racing it sounded like a jet airplane, and I am running straight through mufflers and bigger exhaust pipes on my SC....
Moral of the story - Just because you think the car maybe stock, doesn't necessarly mean that it is. Late-
