Yeh, on the first site there, scroll down to a street scene...called Eye Candy....and that's pretty much the color, but under the Florida sun...my recollection is a tad more blue in it.....

no.

at least it didnt seem very quick against
my 78 vette with a 10-1 454 running an isky
292-.595-108.

maybe it was in the mind of the dude driving it tho-
from the way he went buzzing by 5 seconds AFTER
i let off the throttle, having put 20+ car lengths on him
when the light went green and then putting on his flashers....

can it still be a ricer if its not a japanese vehicle?
or since its german do we call them krauters?

And you would know that he was at full throttle how?

from the way he revved up and peeled out
when we left the light, the 'blow off' valve
when he shifted, and the fact that i could
hear the hamster under the hood frantically
scrambling...
