I HAD a supercharged VW GTI VR6 that I took to D.C. and ran a few times. I can send you the link if you want to check out the car...anyhow, me and a friend with a new Formula meet up with some guys in a Marshall's parking lot, a few DSM's hanging out. Well I justpull up there and chill for a bit, and obviously one of the guys heard my supercharger when I pulled in. So he comes up to my car and says "boy in the Eclipse wants to run your car and the Formula, thats a supercharger right?". So I go over and talk to him, and he tells me to follow him onto I-97. So I follow him and like 10 other cars follow behind us. We get on I-97 and slow up to about 30 MPH to race on a rolling start. Well theres cars all behind us backed up, then we hit it. We are about even with the Formula about 2 cars behind and I can hear the Eclipses BOV sounding off, then he just starts pulling on me hard all of a sudden. He is about 4 car lengths ahead of me, and I am about 3 cars in front of the Formula. Well allll these cars are still behind us then I start to see then drift back some, and the Firebird drifted back some, and I'm thinking "oh shit, theres a cop". Well there wasn't a cop, but I look down and I am hitting 155 MPH, on the f'n interstate. So we slow up and stop a McDonalds. Everyone gets out and they are hype as shit jsut becuase of the fact we were going so fast. The guys Eclipse oil cap flew off so its sitting there smoking hard. He pops his hood and smoke goes everywhere, and everyone is all hype, but its just a oil cap. Well everyone crowds around my GTI, and I got the hint that they wanted to see under my hood becuase like 20 people are just sitting there staring at me. Well I keep my car looking flawless and just pretty as hell under the hood, hell, I'm just going to link it to you after my story...so I pop my hood and all I hear is "holy shits" and "ohhhs" and "ahhhs" because its just GLEAMING under there. Yes, of course I was proud, all my hard work is being appreciated. one of the guys behind us got it all on film and it was absolutely amazing. We get to Metro where all the racing goes on but it was just wayyyy too packed. I had a $100 race with a guy in a 1.8T GTI that I would have won, but the cops came before we even got to leave the gas station. Fun night anyhow. I have sooooo many more stories if you want them, but this is my personal fav.
Almost forgot the link...
