Default The GT Turbo, don't leave home without it !!

Last Saturday night I was going to a family party at a "Walk Up" complex, I knew that the car had to be left outside at the mercy of oncoming trafic, So I decided to go in my wive's 96HP Japanese Sub-Compact and left my GT at home.

In my return trip, Like it always happens, we where approaching trafic light and suddenly two cars passed us. A modern Mustang Cobra SVT and a Toyota Supra! The SVT Had Huge 3" dual pipes all the way and had massive rollers for tires. The Supra had also a huge exhaust and gigantic rollers,It even blasted fire at the exhaust when it shifted gears and when slowing down!!!

The light changed and they blasted of!! The mustang was unstopable. It took off like a rocket and after three passes the mustang kiked the Supra's butt. The supra was slow at the line but then, you could hear the turbo whine and the fire escape the exhaust. But it never caught the Mustang.

I was PISSED!!!! I was without my GT!!!!!!! I was rdiving a real Rice Burner with no HP!!!

I am sure that I could never catch the SVT (In their factory configuration they run 13.50, and this one was modded!) But the Supra was in my range (Not because it was slow, but because the driver was scared of the car. You could see it in the crappy holeshots) with my "Stage I" GT...

I will never know if I could have been buzzing and making them think they had slow cars, when a "Wagon" was runing with them. But it was great to see them at it...
