I few weeks before getting dusted by my student's Porsche, I did do the Dak
crowd proud with an impressive spank. Another student of mine just leased
a 2000 Lexus GS. It's a pretty sporty looking touring sedan. He said it
was fast and ready for my purple beast! We raced just a block away from
the Culver City CHP station. I smoked him good. He was pretty shocked!
He didn't know a stock truck could "do that"!
My luxo slushbox CC with hard tires will run high 15's with relative ease.
That's enough to embarrass most stock vehicles, especially imports. But
beware of real mods (as opposed to riceboy mods).

and

and

| engined car????). Awesome sight. I guess it's not a crime to get beat
by
| a $80,000 car??? His overzealous launch may have killed his 60 ft time,
| but 0-100 was in the sub-10 sec range.
