That's a strong STS setup. Built bottom end I presume? Nice.

Yeah pretty much...my car is lowered and they worked fine if thats what you are worried about. If you want em you could always try em on and if u dont like jsut give em back...
You will definately hook with those. Only reason I am selling em is bc I just got a set of Bogarts ..

Yeah best part is, I just figured I would check out this supposedly cool car meet that night, and it turned out to be a huge rice fest. So I was challenged and they were very confident. Asian too...barely spoke English, true import ****. They were obviously fast since they lost the Z28 filming behind

The guys were pretty highly respected too...I dont think anyone had come out there and ever beaten them

but um...
...no match for a boosted V8
Right after the race we went and celebrated

Nice to go out once in a while and show whos boss

^ I think I know that Asian guy. Is he about 30 years old? If so, he's loaded -filthy rich, with a warehouse full of cars (muscle cars also).

Hard to tell, maybe. Yeah they were definately not kids...another reason I knew it was no joke. There were 2 of them. The one driving looked younger than the one I mostly talked to who seemed like sort of the middle man that did the setup...

As I watch the video more and more I am realizing they definately would have put a few cars on my friends Z28...

Good kill!! I looked into the STS stuff..its pretty sweet and the more people I see going that way the more I want one!!!

It looked like the camera car was catching up slightly on the second run towards the end??? Maybe its just me... Definately a fast car though.

Sweet runs. Weren't intimidated by the "true import" Asian crowd? I would've been. You never know. Nice kills btw.
