"6 sec full weight regal" lmao

Well this began a couple months ago when I got to work and saw a white regal that was parked out in front of the house which is a residential group home in which I work currently. I went in and asked who it belonged to figured I would try and make a new friend, but when the BS started I was just curious how far I could go with this guy if I fed into his delusions. So first off I asked about the hood pins and he said it was because the car was T-boned and he needed them to hold the hood on and then when I asked if he could pop the hood he said he couldn't because he didn't have any tape to tape it down. So I asked more and he said that it had 650 HP so I started asking questions about what cam and heads and what turbo and so on. he said it was just supercharged and that they came that way and it was super fast. I had to hold my laughter just to not show my hand. Well cut to today I have had a few exchanges with the guy but today he had the car in the garage so I could get a better look at it and I figured chatting with him would be pure comedic gold and boy was I right... If I am not mistaken the fastest FWD l67 car with a SC and juice is in the 10s but the fastest pass on the 3.8 block was either high 7s or low 8s and these were stripped out race only cars. If this guy in CO really knows how to build a 6 sec gs then I know where I am going to get my motor advice lmao. Keep in mind CO sits at average over a mile above sea level so that means at sea level a "full weight GS" with this guy's setup could run with pro stock cars... It is sad that the rice mentality has infiltrated Buick and the "Grandpa sedans." And before anyone asks that is not a Pot cigarette and we were all sober and he was dead serious. I couldn't script this if I tried.... It makes me wonder if a certain youtube video fed this guy his BS. IF you don't know the video I am referring too msg me and I will explain.

Reminds me of the time a buddy and myself went to check out a stock 1990 Supra turbo that some punk had for sale. As soon as we arrived at his place he came outside and lit a smoke. He then babbled on about how the car has 500 hp and how he walked a new vette a few days prior. I then asked him if he wanted to run my 5L mustang drop top with a stout heads/cam setup in which he neglected. My buddy and I then left the premises.
 


Ugh. This kid that was working for me on the production line at work was full of BS.

The first thing he told me is he had an 8 second Neon.

Then we were talking boosted applications and he was like turbos suck, superchargers are better, blah blah, turbo lag, blah blah. I basically started calling out his bullsh!t right there, telling him that most cars that come factory supercharged go turbo to make bigger power. This is where it gets hilarious.

Conversation goes like this

Jake: "My buddy ran 8 seconds in his supercharged Cobalt."
Me: No he didn't
Jake: He has 500 horsepower.
Me: No he doesn't, and he needs about double that to run 8's.
Jake: His car only weighs 600 lbs.
Me: LOLOLOLOLOLOL No it doesn't. The engine and transmission alone weigh near that.

Conversation kept going from there and got dumber and dumber the whole time.

I don't remember if I had posted this, but this is the same kid who told me FWD's don't have a differential.
 
with people like that is fun to mess with them by saying "my car run 3.8 1/4 mile" this top dog bs is what gets me. In some ways im glad i dont have friends. less dumb sh!t to take
 


I am almost done with my white car. Its just a matter of space and time and both are sparse currently. Playing catch-up always it seems but in the past 2 months I have made more progress than the past 2 yrs because single and not doing work and school both full time anymore.
