Default Magnum SRT8 with an LS1 (what a joke)

Im driving home from work the other day, mining my own business; when I pull up next to this young kid at a red light in an SRT8 Magnum. He eye balled me and was expecting me to acknowledge him to but I ignored him. When the light turn green; he took of like a bat from hell and I stayed behind ( too many cops in that area) taking off slowly but in my head i though hopefully we meet at another light and Ill run him... well, we meet again this time i gave it to him... left him but like two cars after second gear. Pulls up to me at the next red light and ask "is it a SS or a Z28" so i answered then he proceeds to ask if it had an LS1 and "I'm like yeah what do you have" to my suprise this dumbass says " an LS1" I couldnt hold it in and started laughing in his face.

The LS1 must be a new factory option for the Magnum.

It is an option
















LOL what a fool! those SRT8's can run 12s with ease but this fool obviously had no business in a powerful car.

I literally just laughed when I read his response. I mean what the hell... Did he really think you were stupid? I would've laughed my *** off if this happened to me.

I ran a kid in a C5 Vette once and beat up on him pretty good. When we talked afterwards, he said he saw that it was just a Z28 and not an SS, so he figured he could take me without a problem. Turns out he thought the Z28 came with an LT1 and the SS came with an LS1. Big "whoops" on his part. It was even better because the Vette was his dad's car.

Sounds like this guy here who has a grand prix gxp. He told me when I first got my car that it had nothing on an SS... We raced, and he changed his mind.

Or this other guy here with a cobalt ss/tc. He was telling people that the ls1 cars are nothing like what they are cracked up to be. Then he caught me from a 20 roll twice, he shut his mouth to me after that but still talks crap to a good friend of mine who has an 02 ws6. I don't understand that.

I really wish people would learn what the hell they are talking about before they go spouting off at the mouth.

I don't understand those type of people. I saw this turbo 240sx and we played around on the street for a while and I asked if he wanted to run and he said "its not even like that" then I find out he's telling my girl and all their co-workers he smoked me. Then one day I went to pick up my girl from work and there he was.... I drove up next to him in my DD and I said "I heard you were telling people you smoked me when we didn't race and when I asked you to run you said "its not even like that". So I asked him to run that night and he said he had a blown head gasket. Its funny though because his baby momma's mom babysits my daughter so we'll for sure run into each other again.

actually the mopar hemi motor was inspired by the gen3 ls engine.
it has alot of ls like features.
but yea, i totally bitch slapped a orange loud hemi challenger from a 40 to 140 roll, went to 140 just prove point..
that engine is not up to the ls capacity, in theory the hemi heads should be superior over the ls heads. but there not.

lol. I was at work and noticed that a parking spot had become available in the front of the building were the exits are so I desided to move my car! I backed into the spot, walked up to the chairs and tables in the front and a very sexxy looking blond was sitting out side smoking a cigarette. As I sat down and lit a cig she looked over to me and said and I qoute " that think got a hemi?". I about died
