99 Z28 vs Rumble Bee Truck Ok, so this guy in my town has a Rumble bee truck with the small hemi and a 100 shot of nitrous. I know him somewhat and when I saw him creepin up I figured he wanted to go. We're going down the highway at about 60-65 mph and I look over but his windows are up and he has dark tinted windows, and I rev slightly, look back and then he stomps it...so about 1-2 secs later I hit it, reel him in like he's sittin' still and then go around him at about 115-120. I'm like, that's it. So I back off and folow him. We talk about it and I find out he was out of nitrous. I didn't say it but I was like, "that is supposed to be a performance truck, really?" He wants to race from a slow roll sometime too and I was like ok. So I go home and look it up and find out most of these things stock only run 15.5-15.9 1/4 mile times. So again, I am posting about a car/truck that didn't compare anyway. When will I get to race someone that is a challenge....hmm....challenger, that'd be cool. I mean I know technically a stock ls1 with a cutout and lid is pretty slow compared to some modded stuff, but I'm lookin for anything. I have had the car almost 8 months and only this guy and a freakin Caveleir are the only two that wanted to race. A Daytona Charger pumked out yesterday on me and didn't wanna go . What the hell. I guess this is what I get for living in a tiny little town.

Funny how " the bottle is always empty" when you beat one badly.................they never want to admit that they gave it all they had and it wasn't enough.

That might be the challenge you want. I don't know much about them, though.

It could be the challenge I want, or more than likely his dad wont even do it. That seems to be how things go for me. It's almost like I want to get beat so I can have an excuse to at least get some headers and LS6 intake/ported TB.

It's an Auto with 2.73 gears...lol. To me though, racing another similar Camaro, or Trans Am for that matter, just doesn't get my heart pumping. It's like, we both have an LS1, but yours has the LS6 intake already and exhaust, and mine has a cutout and lid. It's gunna be close no matter what unless one of them is running badly. Not saying I wouldn't race you, but I'd like to kill a Stang or Charger/Challenger/Import etc.
