My buddies and I were out drinking last night at a bar and decided to take the scenic route home back to our place. We were on PCH leaving Huntington Beach Main Street heading towards Jamboree around 1 AM.

So we roll out from the parking lot. My friend Daniel in the lead with his 06 G35, then me in my 03 TL-S and then my friend Mike in his 05 WRX. We were just cruising when we here this high pitched whining noise coming fast from behind us. I look in my rear view and I see 4 lights and think to myself.. "hmm looks like an older Lexus SC." I was wrong, and saw a del sol pull up next to my friend's G35.

So there's a G35 in Lane 1 (with a TL-S and WRX behind) and a Del Sol in Lane 2. Del Sol starts reving. I get a phone call so I flip on my blue tooth switch and its Daniel in the G35: "Yo. I'm gonna smoke his Ass without going into sports shift."

"Sure thing." I say to him. I proceed to call my friend Mike so we can have a conference between the three of us.

Light goes Green and the G35 out grips, and takes the lead. The Del Sol's tires screech but then it takes off. And I mean it took off. Passed up the G35 easily.

Mike and I proceed to laugh at our friend and at the next light I pull up next to both of them in Lane 3.

Mike: "Don't be dumbasses and think about not using Tip tronic."

Light goes green, G35 and TL-S in the lead. Then I hear a whining noise and a blow off valve and in a few seconds, Del Sol is past both of us.

Daniel: "Fuck. Tell me I'm drunk."

Me: "You're drunk. And driving like shit. It's a waste for you to have that car and lose to some crappy lime green del sol."

Daniel: "Blow me. You have more mods, You're not drunk and you're losing with your car."

Mike: "I'll take him."

The G35 Pulls out of lane 1 and lets the WRX pull up. I decide not to participate and pulled behind the Del Sol to try to make out who's driving. The tint was so dark I couldn't tell.

Light goes green and the WRX takes off. No contest there. So the WRX slows down to about 30 mph and lets the Del Sol catch up. My friend Mike rolls down his window and screams: "Go when you hear my friends honk!" The Del Sol sticks a thumbs up out of the window.

Mike: "Jay, Honk on the count of 3."

Me: "Sure thing."

I count to three silently and blast my horn. Both cars take off...

Daniel: "Holy shit."

Me: "Huh..."

Mike: "WTF?!"

The Del Sol outran the WRX. No Joke.

Me: "Ok. Either too much Redbull Vodka's for me or that Del Sol is definitly not running a B16 series engine."

Daniel: "Fuck it. It's just some rich ass ricer who probably put NOS in that POS. I'm hungry let's go eat."

Mike: "That's bullshit... screw it let's go to Denny's"

So we flash our high beams at the Del Sol and it takes off. We proceed to Denny's. We Pull into the parking lot and it's there. The Same Lime Green Del Sol that killed all of us. As we get out our cars, we see a white chick step out of the Del Sol.

Mike: "The hell..."

Curious, I go up to her and say: "Hey nice ride. You killed us back there." She looks at me and says, "Thanks. You guys probably thought I had no chance right?" I just laugh and say, "Well, let's say it's the first time a Del Sol has killed any of us I'm sure."

My friend Mike comes up and introduces himself and asks: "So what are you running under the hood?"

Her: "You guys wanna see?"

We all nod our heads. She pops the hood, and inside what do we see???

An H22A with a Big ass single turbo application.

God. I don't know what's worse. Getting Beat by a chick or a 95 Del Sol.

Lesson of the evening folks... Don't Under Estimate any car on the street.

Not surprised, at least after finding out that its a boosted H22A.

It could have been worse. It could have been a CRX. You guys would have been smoked even worse.

datzdaboi

A boosted h22 is no joke

chewi

OMG... this is the best story I've heard on AZ....

The part that amazed me was finding out that the driver was a girl.

On the side note I think you are good enough to be a comic writer for those tuner mags.

You guys can't even tell the difference between a Turbo spool and supercharger whine

Ther is no high pitched whining noise coming from a Single turbo kit. Supercharger does not let off it's blow off valve (BOV). Nor does a Single Turbo giving a whiny noise. It's 2 separate things like women don't get hard ons and men doesn't get periods. What you heard was the spool of the turbo undergoing boost.

CL Platano

Those things are light as hell and once modded will smoke tons of cars.

levon1830

Was she hot at least?

BraveDemon

Hope you forgive me Acuradriver 2006. But I can't recall exactly what it sounded like. Definitely sounded like a lot of air being released and I definitely heard the "whining/winding" noise go off.

And yes I do know the difference. Or I should. I used to have a boosted bb4 myself.

Either way, just a story I wanted to share with fellow Acura people.

And no she was not hot.

BustedJack

^ please don't take it in the wrong way. I'm just basically stating the differences between the who Force Induction kits.

Racing is fun. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Just a nature in any sport. But what separates a man from a kid is when you lose, you have good sportsmanship and either give it a thumbs up or backdown courtesously instead of rice flybys.

Good story though and race carefully.

TheAcAvenger

a white chick driving a key lime green del sol with a single turbo on an h22? Next time, keep an engagement ring in your glove box

senvro

haha just remember man..only S/C will whine...turbos just spool and you can hear the difference in them....

iTrader: (1)

Haha, good story.
It's still a crappy little car. Raw speed, yes, but def no where near as refined as any of those 3 cars. I like speed, comfort, and a little class... What region of the US do you live in?

B18DelSolT

A boosted Del Sol with an Ls swap is nice also, Had it. It was Very very fun, beat STI's, Lancers Evolutions. lol

TL Type - Sick

great story and commentary! got to look out for those rice mobiles. my buddy has this green and yellow 93 civic 4 door with a huge turbo and intercooler on it (couldn't tell you the exact specs). anyhow, i thought i'd kill him in my 02 TLS (stock) because it has such a long spool up time.....WRONG! after getting about 5-6 car lengths ahead, i started to see him speed up like crazy and he blew me away from 55-85mph. once he got the vtec and turbo goin at the same time, the acceleration is amazing.....

Taylor is Legend

BOOOO. that woulda bene the icin on the cake. but hey, atleast it wasnt a dude. cuz then the story would be less amazing.


BUT u tell stories very well, i loved it. i was kinda on the edge of my desk(im in hs )
