Don't feel bad, I got outran by a little ricer that was sporting a T3 turbo. He didn't blow me away, sounds about like what you went through. We were keeping pace but he was SLIGHTLY pulling away and I couldn't catch him. I'm sure at top end I would've had him (I've had my car up to 163 topped out a bunch of times on the interstate) but we were on a back road going into town and I never got to see the ricer's top end. We pulled up to the light and what really hurt me was that he had 3 of his buddies in the car, one with a camera. So I'm thinking, this ricer beat me with approx. 450 to 600 extra pounds of flesh in his car and it's just me and a half tank of gas. When he told me he had a T3 I asked him what the hell is that? He said "Big ass turbo," and smiled. I didn't feel so bad afterwards. Now if I could just decide between the Maggie and the APS twin turbo (quietly laughing sinisterly).
Dustin.
