Vinyl received a letter one day from an address she didn't recognize. The letter went something like this:
"Dear Vinyl Scratch,
I know you likely do not know me. However, I am the most successful racer in my hometown, about two miles out of yours. I recently heard about your supposedly unbeatable automobile, and I'm quite interested. If you'd like to, perhaps we could race each other should you be able to find the time to. Also, I drive a 1968 Dodge Charger which has been tuned to 900 horsepower. I'll race under any rules and under any regulations you choose.
Signed, Muscle Power"
Vinyl immediately considered calling Rainbow Dash. But then, she began to think. She had very easily beaten cars with more horsepower than her R32, and therefore, perhaps Muscle Power wasn't as powerful as she claimed himself to be. A rear wheel drive car, as Vinyl knew, could not bring out the full potential of its engine. And still, a rear wheel drive car cannot use all of the power that it is able to bring out for long periods. But then, Vinyl began to re-think.
"Maybe 900 horsepower would be enough to lose me in the straights so that the corners wouldn't be enough to get me caught up." she thought. "Wait, no, no, no. That's ridiculous. There's never been a car that can outperform a GT-R. That simply can't happen."
Eventually, she decided to try and meet up with this potential opponent. Luckily, Muscle's phone number was provided in the letter, and Vinyl gave him a call.
Throughout their talk, Vinyl mentioned that she had a teammate. Muscle Power also had a teammate of his own, whom he referred to as "Naturally Aspirated". Naturally Aspirated drove a tuned Chevrolet Corvette C4 which carried 650 horsepower. Vinyl thought about having a team race. In the end, it sounded like a good idea. Vinyl approved of the race, and they agreed to meat with their teammates on the Ponyville Expressway at 2 in the morning.
Vinyl called Rainbow Dash and explained the plan. Rainbow Dash, incredibly eager to race their new opponents, decided to go ahead and drive to the agreed location early.
"If Muscle Power and Naturally Aspirated are really as fast as they say they are," said Vinyl to herself, "I'm going to need to train myself before I get to race them."
