Unhappy Got owned by a sleeper

I saw a white 92' style hatch cruzing down the highway and descided to get a better look to see what was done to it. When I got closer I noticed it was stock from the 14" steel wheels right down to the drinking straw sized exhaust that sounded like it had a hole in it . The only out of place thing I noticed was the 3 gauges on the piller. He saw me looking and starting reving, but he never realy reved it up high. Instead he kept just going from idle to like 1,500 rpm's.

So I figured ok Ill let him her the BOV a few times and this clown will go back to his comute. Man was I wrong, he started laughing his *** off! So I give him the 3 2 1 go with my hand and from a 65 MPH roll he leaves me like im parked. All I could say was WTF dos he have in that car? So I followed him to the gas station to find out.

He had a fully built Ls vtec frankenstein, w/ a custom turbo kit at 12 PSI , and a 75 shot of n2o. He also explaned that he cut is stock muffle apart and attached the last 3" of the can to hide his jic magic muffler w/ 3" piping.

So whats the lesson to be lerned? Be ware the sleeper, things arent always what they apere.

My first RX2 was a total sleeper, right down to the multicolor paint job from all the junkyard parts. I had sooooo much fun in that car.... (sigh)
Wish I still had it.
