Turbo swapped Veloster , OWNED

I ran into a kinda cool car after we hit it going onto the freeway . It was a very long onramp and I only went upto 80 since speed limit is 75mph..
i launched like **** as I'm learning my new tires but I was easily ahead and when I let off at 80 he was almost 2 car lengths behind me.
His had a turbo install with all corirsponding mods like exhaust , fueling , intake tube ectectect and he was running 9lb of boost . He claimed it made 220sonething to the wheels .
the kid was very impressed with the monster Cooper as he had to get me to pull over to ask me about it, he claimed to beat the turbo minis no problem and was amazed mine was the older sc sc model..so that me happy if it's true because I want my Cooper to be faster than any mini you could order or buy from a dealer or factory .
I will track my car on the 1/4 mile strip as well as try my car on a roadcourse in Elkhorn wi called RoadAmerica.. I just have to replace my windshield , get racing tires , a helmet , do my cam and few other mods and see what this monster Cooper is capable of..
Keep it safe guys and keep it on the track !
