vegas street races!!

On saturday night I decided to go to the street races for the third time this year. My car surprised the hell out of me. My car is totally stock other than the exhaust (just a testpipe and a muffler). Raced about 9 times. Lost once to a turbo civic. Beat a new tiburon V6 GT, A new eclipse with an AEM intake and headers, a white prelude and a few civics. All these cars looked and sounded fast but didnt have **** on my white hatchback with a primered hood and bumper . You guys should have seen the look on the guys face when i told him ( and showed him) how how stock my car is. It was priceless. and Whats with the new tiburons? i thought theyed be a little quicker than that.

cant beat the ka24de man, lots of torque. Great power even with 150K+ miles on it.

By the way good kills!
