Talk about awkward.
This actually happened to me a couple days after I first got my car. Was filling up at a gas station and some guy in a banger SRT-4 Neon pulled up as well, he asked how much boost I was running. To which I got a puzzled look on my face and said none. He didn't believe me and tried to press the issue, and I insisted "none, bro". I don't know, looking back on it, maybe he was trying to get me to ask how much he was running, but I have zero interest in the SRT-4 line. Overpriced Neons with a bit of boost in them. I'm a firm believer that unless it's a hot hatch, performance cars should not be putting power down to their front wheels.
