A couple of years ago a guy at school had an actual argument with me about whether or not his father's Vauxhall Astra VXR could do 270mph. He claimed him and his father beat a Bugatti Veyron at a Drag Strip. He said that he had done 220mph on the motorway, and at that point I walked away as I couldn't take anymore.
A freshman in Uni preached some blasphemy like that before. He claimed his BMW 525i from 1995 could reach 340 km/h.
Now, when you here this, you just can't help messing with this guy. So I proceeded to troll.
I said "Did you take the factory limiter off?"- Easy question, no brainer...
He replied with "Yeah, I put a better exhaust on for better HP". Oh this is going to be good.
"What is your car pulling?" Meaning torque....
"About 900 Horses!" Oh dear God.... he has no idea what he's talking about.
"Any Turbos, or Superchargers?"
"What now?"
"Turbochargers, you know, engine boosters.... low in-take, high in-take"
"Oh you mean NOS... yeah I got that"
*FACEPALM
"What about suspension? I mean surely a car with that much power needs a good setup, right?"
Nervous chuckle... "Yeah, sure, I got this cool kit. It's hot! Just came out"
"Oh yeah, what brand is it, maybe I'll check it out..."
"It's, um, I forgot" Nervous chuckle. "Oh yeah! It's KW" Seems legit... KW Suspensions from Germany.
"What colour are the coils and cylinder?"
"Red and black. They look sick! Got 'em for 100 bucks!"
This guy is rockin' fake suspension.... Tsk tsk tsk. Genuine KW springs are purple and yellow.
"What do you drive?" Asks the ricer desperately trying to change the subject.
"I drive a 1968 Pontiac GTO. Just rebuilt. 428 6.4 Liter V8, K & N Air Filter, Kenne Belle Supercharger, Eibach Springs, Hooker Headers, 5-Speed Tranny and Borla Exhaust System" That's just my wishlist for my Ponty...He ate every word I said....
Gotta love ricers.
