Default Bad beat on the river: 99 VR4 vs. 90s Honda Del Sol

there I am on sr500 in vancovuer washington when I spy this 90's del slow. I am practically pissing my pants laughing as I roll up on this thing. The wing looked like it was homemade from 2x4 and papermache, the body kit was duct taped on, every body panel a different color, no exhaust, and schucks special fake spinners-- okay they weren't fake spinners but they were hubcaps!

The dude looks over at me and sees me laughing--- instantly getting more pissed off by the second!! He revs his motor and I am surprised to hear not the normal juan valdez rattle can. Instead, this honda hound has a blow off valve noisemaker good for 100hp at the midnight club photo shoot.

We are head to dirty head at a red light heading east. I am thinking about the $400 I just spent filling this tank up so I get off to an economical start.....but I was surprised by the launch this guy gets on me. He takes me to the next light, but now I am pissed like a hooker's brother on free ******* night.

We set up for a second go at it. This time I am ready for all the glued on power this punk has. I punch the gas like the winnebago in spaceballs and I'm up two car lengths(and girths) in second gear. Needless to say...but I will say it anyways....I gave him the stinky end of my business stick to the next light.

Unfortunately my determined and angered foe has a walmart cart full of nitrous in his passenger seat. We launch for a third and final time. I hear the hiss from the nitrous ( I can still hear it) and when I shift to second...it's sadly over. I lose my nutz on this one. He smokes my meat by a mile and an inch.

I limp home with my pride destroyed. I guess I learned not to mess with a croutching tiger.

Peace,
Hidden Dragon

thanks for the unconditional support... yeah that turboed h22 swap with nitrous was amazing! If it were me I would have spent 15K on a new car-- but he elected to spend 2K on a crappy car and 13k on motor and boltons.

a stock H22 in a stripped shell is pretty nippy
