The KID...

Tokyo, Daikoku Rest Area.

The wall clock inside the shop shows 3:00AM, but Dal, Uzer and Alvinkanarbik are still having a the Need For Speed Underground drag race marathon when a new car pulls into the empty Feroci lot. Unnoticed, the driver of a gunmetal grey sports car flashes his high beams lights to grab the attention of the people inside. After several failed attempts and a bit of swearing, he gets impatient and turns up the volume of his Pioneer Premier 2300 head unit. Massive bass, coming out of a pair of 800W Diamond Audio TDX 10D4’s subwoofers is enough to make the bottle caps on the ground jump and shimmy to the beat of the music. The sound is also enough to catch the attention of Dal.. who is now infuriated, after being distracted just long enough to miss a shift and lose his race. He storms his way to outside to find out who was responsible for all that racket with Uzer and Alvin quickly following him, knowing that he and his short temper could possibly cause some trouble…

The racket gets louder as he gets closer to the door, making him scream expletives and insults at the idiot blasting music and highbeaming before he even gets outside, and when he finally opens the door...
“HEY BUUDY WHAT THE FU… DAMN!!! That’s a sick ride!”

The driver of the car, a 2001 Honda NSX, still wearing his Scorps helmet, smiles with pride. Fitted with a complete catalogue of body enhancements from Marga Hills, his S-Zero would not ever have the dishonor of going unnoticed anywhere. Neither would have the JGTC-type rear wing, carbon rear diffuser, carbon rear spats or the carbon fiber hood. Toyo Proxes T1-S tires wrapped around black 18x11” Racing Hart CP035-R rims round out the exterior package. However, behind the cockpit in the engine compartment, was the crown jewel of the entire car.

A Comptech supercharger kit, custom-tuned stand-alone EMS, and a triple-plate ATS carbon clutch were provided and made to work in harmony by Comptech Sports. Along with those bits, DC Sports provided headers and a custom surge-tank intake manifold. An air induction kit from Cantrell Concepts and a JGTC inspired center exit exhaust system made by Taitec were the finishing touches that all worked together to give the car a very distinct look and sound. On the handling front, a Tein N1 suspension system was added to further enhance the car already excellent handling, and a Tarox “Big Brake” 10 Piston system to bring the speed demon an efficient means of decelerating to a standstill.

After a thorough inspection of the newcomer’s car, Uzer knew that cars like that were incredibly rare to come by, and decided to offer an associate’s position to him within the Feroci franchise. The four men all walked inside to iron out the details, and enjoy some more early-morning drag racing. As they make their way into the office, Dal says to the new guy,
“Why don’t you take your helmet off? You’re among friends now…”

The 6'5", slender framed driver slouches his shoulders a bit and takes off the helmet, revealing his facial features for the first time.

Uzer, Dal, and Alvin are astonished. "Shit! Dude, what are YOU doing here? We thought you were dead!"

Maceo thought to himself "The kid is back."
