I was going over the hill earlier tonight to get some 100 octane and a Chevy SSR with two guys in it was behind me. I've only seen a couple of them on the road but it looked lowered. When it pulled up next to me I could also hear a throaty aftermarket exhaust. They were egging me on to race so we ended up taking a run when traffic opened up. It was a close race until that 3rd honk. For a split second I heard a nice V8 at full throttle in my left ear but before I knew it they were in my rear view. I know they're heavy weights but dayum.

pretty rare man, like 5500 lbs and like 55,000 thousand bucks. i think they have the 6.0 though. not really good for anything either, kind of like a convertible El Camino with a carpeted bed and bed cover. Im in houston and dont see one but every couple months.

Steiner

Thanks yeah you don't see that many of them. It looked really good lowered too. First one I saw was the black SSR Buschemi's character drove around in that movie called "The Island".

The Evo has all the boltons and cams on a 20G turbo. I had it running on the 100 octane tune last night too. Figure about 430whp on a dynojet.

^ I had never actually looked at your car sir...

That thing is hot man.. Thats almost to the T how I would want my evo. Great looking car sir. It even seems to run ok.

Steiner

Thanks dude. The part I'm most proud of isn't the power increase or handling improvements. I've worked hard and spent extra cash to make sure everything under the hood looks 100% OEM. California cops twilight as smog ****'s these days and they can make you pop the hood if you're pulled over. It can get very expensive if they don't like what they see. Knock on wood.

Some have the LS2, others have the 5.3. Most were equipped with the automatic but some had a M6.

As a former LEO... i can't for the life of me understand how that's not seaching a vehicle. Good kill on the SSR...

Steiner

Didn't you hear? Street racers recently moved ahead of pedophiles on the **** list. They have no rights. And the icing on the cake is that those people who used to get simple speeding tickets or even a "gross display of speed" citation are being pulled over for street racing these days. There doesn't even need to be another car anymore. It's a crackdown.

i think that all has to do with the year of the truck, the first year they all had the 5.3, after that they were all 6.0.

I saw one today and i live in a small town.

Drove down that same stretch of road tonight and watched a new 370z w/dealer plates race a Mach 1 Mustang. Looked really close.

dealerships are shady, you never know how bad they thrashed a car before you bought it.

He asked for it and no one else did. I thought of it as a community service.
