But they make more than 200hp. They are rated at 276hp and made closer to 300hp. But the chassis was certainly capable of handling much more power than what it's powertrain put out. That's for sure.

I couldn't remember what the exact number was, I knew it was 200 something. Still though 300 ain't too bad, just saying it could use more =P

Sorry to call BS, but I am calling BS. Firstly, I thought you were talking about your dad's pickup some time in the past? But now you refer to "my" transmission and in the present tense.
Secondly, a stock WRX of any series would whup 99% of pickup trucks, and in a straight line. What truck is it and how has it been modified? We're car nerds, we like such details!
Back on topic(!), I don't have a direct quote but have even seen it in these forums enough, I love when people who have a VTEC engine dress it up as some kind of performance enhancement, likening it to a turbocharger or fuel injection and banging on about the sound of it, when it is of course an efficiency system. Go optimum fuel economy!

I chuckled at this. And it's not anything like what you'd expect.
I work at a drag strip, and every import face off, and thursday test and tune sees quite a bit of rice at it. The best one I've seen so far though was a dark red accord coupe. Peeling paint, purple window tint, and mexi-flush fitment on the wheels. Has a massive VTEC sticker in the location of the stock one, but with "SOHC non-" above it. So in the end it said SOHC non-VTEC, but with a big, obnoxious VTEC and tiny letters above it
Thought it was funny to see a ricer with humor

Some kid (or adult?) in the neighborhood next to my school has what I think is an Accord with a lazily tacked on, HUGE wing, ugly rims, and those horrid chrome tail lights along with a fart can (loud muffler) to top it off.
And my neighbor drives what I think is a older coupe-Civic (or Del-Sol or something) with huge annoying chrome rims on 3 wheels and one steel wheel. Also has a fart can to top it off.
And my friend owns an early 90's Civic (least I think that's what he said) with iffy rims, a not-to-loud fart can, bucket seats (lol), and a wide NASCAR-style rear view mirror. Not too bad, but definitely on the edge of being a ricer. Can't wait till the school year starts to see what else he's done to it...

Interesting stories. I've got some but can't dig them out of my head at the moment...
A long time friend and I were cleaning snow off our cars in the school parking lot when some :censored:ing rich kid was showing off doing handbrake slides around the parking lot in a Mk6 GTI. After the kid drove off, my friend said, "That was awesome, GTI's are rear wheel drive!" Me: -facepalm- Couple months later...my friend put some rather poor mods on his Civic...

Got another one I just remmembered: Went hooning with a few friends on a dirt road back when I had my little red '98 S10 with a 2.2 I4. After some dirt-nuts and almost hitting one of my friend's '86 Mustang (who, coincidently had a 2.3 I4), I had a drag race against another friend's Chevy Pickup (with a 350). Turns out that if I didn't chicken out, we probably could've tied. So, Chevy friend proceeded to lead us to an abandoned drag strip (VERY old, probably 1/8 mile, very small). Chevy friend raced against Jeep friend (lifted Wrangler built for crawling) - close race. Then I raced Mustang friend - damn close victory for me xD. Twas fun and the cops never showed up, so a successful first hoon for me 
...even though my windshield got cracked 
.
Now to get a V8 and 4-speed into my Mustang, then I can be badass.

The truck still exists. 1st V8 was a 780hp 351W form Ford. Blew up. The one in it now is a 540hp 351W putting down 618 ft-lb torque with an oldschool longrod build. Most power is put down before 3500rpm as well. Its a 1985 F250 4x4. FYI the street wasn't very long. Call bull but its not hard to spin all 4 33's and take off fast due to the regearing of the trans. We weren't trying to race so much as show off.

Fair enough, and apologies, I was a little harsh. I was just thinking that it would be hard for any pickup weighing upward of 2.5 metric tons to blow away a car which typically hits 60 in less than 5 seconds, although he coulda been a bad driver, with crappy mods, and your truck does indeed seem pretty sorted :-)

It's all good dude. People just expect it to be slow because its a truck lol. It's funny too, because the engine looks mostly* stock but all the internals are replaced and built. 5 things boosted cubic inches from 351 to 402 and you wouldn't even know it XD. Basically, you take Ford's 400M engine's crank and rods, .030 302 pistons (obviously theres more to this to get power) and you've got yourself a 402 cube engine (keep the 351 rods and it's a 393.) Those are known right there for being nasty strokers but with old heads the slightly boost compression and the pistons still keeping compression at 8.5:1 it's nice. That will keep torque to the bottom end RPM's and the RV cam will bring it even more. The low compression is also nice in case he ever wants to throw a turbo on it (which I doubt because he's alreayd talking about going to a 390 or 460 SVO High Output
) and keep it on pump gas (last motor ran on alcohol only). It was built when Clevelands were still king though.

So I'm riding in my mates Mustang...
(Ok, not strictly his, but it has his name on the side. It's his dad's track day car, they usually go together)
Sitting in the regular seat on the passenger side, while he sits in the racing seat (A protest from his girlfriend of 3 years caused this. She only put up with sitting in the racing seat for a day, after which she accused him of 'Breaking her back' and 'Touching her' when he helped do the seat belts up.)
We pull up to a light, and next to us rolls some sort of Bright Red Honda Civic, ugly fin, stupid body kit, fart muffler.
"Ay, I bet I can beat you to the next light" (It was about 70 Yards away, no traffic ahead of us)
My mate rolls down the window "Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. Just because you put "California Special GT" Stickers and got rid of your interior doesnt mean you have a fast car. I bet its the 4-banger! And look, I can buy a loud muffler too! You cant even afford 2 Racing seats!"
"Bro, thats not just a Muffler, that's a Ford Racing exhaust set-up" (True, I had helped him install it months before)
"Shut up and race me, you ****"
My mate watched for the lights going in the cross traffic to turn Yellow, pinned the throttle at 4000 RPM's, and dumped the clutch right as the our light went green.
We easily dusted him. Only to hear as he rolled up:
"Dude! Do you have NOS?"
What a spanner.

Ohh man I just remembered something hilarious.
So I'm in a little group I guess I'll say, with some friends. We're all into cars and every once in a while we'll meet somewhere. There was one guy in the group with a Black Civic, lowered on cheap springs, with generic wheels and an eBay CAI and he calls it "totally custom". He always tried racing everyone and saying his car was way faster, yet whenever anyone WOULD race him, he lost. He put it on Craigslist for $4000, and sadly someone probably would pay 4k for that, and the whole time he always said "I bet it's worth 5." So after about a month of trying to sell it, he said on the group's Facebook Page, "No one wants to buy my Civic, so I want to do a motor swap. I'm thinking a JDM B16 SiR. Discuss."
I suggested an F22C, because they can be better than a B16 with some work and I've seen a few Civics with that motor. He responded with a reeeaaaally long paragraph describing how stupid I am and how I know nothing about cars, and there was a decent amount of false facts and was saying how his JDM B16 SiR could smoke ANY car in the state and I've probably never seen one in person (I have seen plenty). When a few other members stated that it indeed would be possible to put in an F22C and it would be easier to find one, he started saying how everyone in the group got their cars from their parents and how he's the only one that has to work hard for money for his car. Then he said, "I'm done with this stupid group full of wannabe tuners." and left. The funny thing is, he once stated that his dad bought his Civic and paid for all of the parts for it. This is completely different, but he once said this too:
"My JDM D Series swap Civic would kill any Corvette."
TL;DR: Ricer being a brainless ricer.

it wasn't really a bad thing, it just added to the hilarity of the fact that somebody would bother adding tacky parts on to a work truck, hence the lawnmower.

You can faintly see the GT/CS stripe on the side. It's a lovely car, that thing. I drove it round a parking lot one time.
On another occasion, with the same friend (And his father) we were on our way to some event. His father was driving the IS350 they own, which had a few tweaks done.
Guy in Chevelle which rattled the whole street pulls up next to us, and guns the throttle.
Mr. Lensink, one to not be outdone, put everything into "Go really Fast Mode", and nodded at the guy next to us.
We took off, and beat him to the next light.
"Wow. I didnt know those cars went that fast! Props to you in your GTR!"

Huh. He owns a Chevelle, so he must not know what a 1960s Mustang looks like since that newer one likes identical. How can he be a muscle car enthusiast? =P
