That's for sure. There are a lot of cars faster then mine.
To me, what makes street racing so much fun is, from the beginning, PT's got a rep. for being slow, underpowered, ect.
That's all you heard.
Some off the guys you race wouldn't have believed in their wildest imagination that their car could be beat, much less by a PT Cruiser.
That just wasn't possible.
Sometimes if you're sitting next to them at a light, they get this silly little smirk on their face.

What a humbling experience when your rice burner with all the stickers and the big aluminum spoiler on the rear gets a good whupin by a--------------------- PT Cruiser.
Bet they don't tell that story around the campfire, ha,ha...
Bet to, some of them lay awake at night staring at the ceiling trying to figure what the he!! happened.

And you're right Bob, Ann loves it when we go zoom zoom.
She even likes the sound of the turbo, exhaust, blowoffs, ect.
Heck, we don't even listen to the radio anymore.
