These guys usually know what they're doing and have a few mods under their hood rather than stickers or huge wings on their cars.
You aren't kidding- last friday at the track there was a 50+ y/o guy with a late model 6.0 GTO- red, and clean as a whistle- looked stock. Under the hood he had a supercharger, cam, meth, and tune. After speaking with him for a few minutes he revealed that the car put down over 500hp at the rear wheels with only 8psi- SICK!
Unfortunately he couldn't drive it too well- only saw 13 flat in the 1/4 that night.
Speaking of losing- I went undefeated in my 5 runs at the track last friday but have been beaten several times previous. On the street- never, at least not yet. I've been taunted by anything between a 5.0 Mustang with huge slicks & pizza cutter front tires, and an exhaust that shakes the earth to a stock looking Mazdaspeed3.
