Mopar vs Rice

Here is my ricer story, though it's not with a Mopar. I used to have a 79 Datsun 280ZX that I put a 355 chevy into with a 700R4 trans. Other than 17" rims the Datsun looked stock. One day I was sitting at a red light and a ricer Honduh pulled up next to me. It was totally riced out, cow catcher in front, 18" rims with rubberband tires, tripple tiered wing on back and a fart can muffler. The kid in it started revving his motor, I guess to impress me with his "turbo". Well he revved it for way too long. Just before the light turned green, I popped my Datsun into neutral and gave it a quick blip of the throttle to around 5k rpm. The kid in the ricer must have not expected the throaty sound of American Muscle. He just shook his head "no". As the light turned green I briskly took off, but not a full out blast. The kid in the ricer was so scared, he waited until I was far down the road before he even entered the intersection.
