okay okay.... get this...
a couple of firends are sitting around saturday night. One of them was talking about my friends 240 hatch w/rb25. this guy starts talking to us about how he will race any of us at the track for titles.
(okay, here's where it gets sad...)
He said, and I kid you not, that he has an eclipse in oklahoma (we live in ky) that he paid 50 grand for that will run 3 seconds in the 1/4.I caled BS, so we started asking him a bunch of random stupid questions to see if he would go along with it. for instance:
Q: whats under the hood?
A: a 440 big block v8 magnum, w/ dual jet fuel intakes that can be turned on by a switch and have their own built heads that also run to the block. and it has 2 "fifths" of NOS in the rear wheel wells.
Q: "FIFTHS"?? and a fifth of jack up front right? Where do you get jet fuel?
A: at tinker air force base. it has 3 fuel cells and costs about $225 to fill them all up.
Q: how fast does the car go?
A: the fastest I've ever had it up to was about 420mph. It'll do 200 in first gear without blowing the motor. The guy that built it put 3 speedometers on the side panel.
Q: 3 speedometers? What do you do add them up to get your total?
A: yeah somethin like that.
At this point my friend w/ a z28 walks up and after hearing all this BS, butts in a adds a little of his own. my friends name is erick so i'll call him E and D for the dumbass.E: Hey, I've got something that'll beat your eclipse, I've got a z28 that runs a 1.6 in the quarter.
D: Oh, what does it have under the hood?
E: (with the most serious face i've ever seen in my life) BATMOBILE ENGINE
D: ahh that's cool man!
E: yeah i just ordered the B-89 turbo (B for batmobile) and it's guaranteed to make me run 1/4 of a second in the quarter mile.
D ahh man I saw those on the internet - they are badass!This is the part where I left because I couldn't handle any more of it.E: I can't use jet fuel tho, I have to run a straight mix of whale oil and kerosene. I have to pump the whale oil by hand.
D: Man I've heard of people using that mixture, but never seen it in person tho...
