Any of you ever set off alarm systems in cars as you tap-tap the go pedal in parking lots? It's getting to be a "need to do" for me, lately, especially the ricer cars. Sure gets people lookin', for whoever is rippin' the ricer car off!!

The next time you are at the bank, wally world, theaters, anywhere ricers are about, drive by slowly and do a couple of quick punches, enough to raise your boost up to 5 psi in one second and listen close to the alarming sounds of presummed thievery

Hahaha yes I love doing that. Happens a lot in my school parking lot. I fire up the truck and there goes the alarm on the poor ricer parked next to me. People looking dont know where the sound is coming from because it's covered in a large coal cloud

Happens both in the '94 with the 6" tip and my stacked '01 (gotta update my signature). I don't go out of my way to do it. Happens most in ghetto-edit DEEEtroit.

All the time! I don't even need to try to do it. The best place I ever did it was going down Cannery Row in Monterey, Ca. I set off just about every car with an alarm. The wife was trying to hide, the kids were laughing there heads off!

I love the fact that these Cummins engines are so beefy that they set off the gasser alarms, even when idling past!
