What are you saying?

You have a 02SS and got beat by a Z28 with an exhaust? That sounds normal to me.

13.72 is a reasonable time for an SS...is it auto or manual? How bad did he beat you by?

Try putting your thoughts down more coherently.

You're brother probably knows how to drive his car better than you know how to drive yours. It takes time. I suggest Hooked on Phonix and time to learn both.

If I were you and if you have received a high school diploma-there is a better way to beat your brother. I'd sue the high school you attended for malfeasance. You should easily get a million or two without even going to court. You can then use some of that money and buy a viper or lambo and them blow him easily away.

Be nice, guys. I don't think English is his first language. That said, isn't 13.7 a bit on the slow side for an SS? I thought low 13's are the norm for them.

Poor launching technique? Need new tires? Plugs? Tune? Better gas? Dirty air filter? Too excited and screwed up? There are plenty of reasons.

If you are a citizen of the USA, Id be more concerned with learning the language than a car. No offense but speaking & writing are pretty important.

Lets see...

Not from US...Works as hard as it takes to make it here.

Gets here...Works as hard as it takes to get to a place where he can 1) get a place to live, 2) get a computer, 3) pass a driver's test, and 4) buy a hotrod.

Buys a hotrod...Needs help learning things we have been doing since about 20 seconds after we got our license.

Lastly, get **** for typing/talking no worse than half the people that watch MTV too much.

Hmmmmmmmm... What's wrong with this picture, Yo?

Fo' Shizzle, Ma' Nizzle.

But then, I've lived in, and worked with people from, foreign countries, so maybe I'm better at figuring out what people are saying...Korea, Japan, Phillipines, France, Ethiopia, Mexico, England, Saudi, North Carolina, Texas, Mississippi...

And i thought I was an *******......

13.7 is perfectly normal for a stock ls1, auto.

guys questioning his driving.... its a stock auto.... you see third amber, you hit the gas pedel you leave it on the floor till you trip the traps....

a z28 bone stock will run just as fast as a stock ss....
if he has mods and you dont , then thats why you are getting beat...
get a lid, get a cutout and get the win...

dont mind the gramer gustapo....

Id ? did you mean I'd? I swear a comma or two would be useful in there somewhere. What do you think?

I'd sue your highschool for making you quere...
Let me help you find your mistakes....
1. if you cant spell the full name of the exotic car, don't make referance to it.
2. "and them?" did you mean, and then?
3.
blow him easily

I suggest Hooked on Phonix and time to learn both.
I suggest not talking **** to someone with a faster car then the one you currently drive

you need an english class
Hey that would have sounded pretty good, if you had only shown that YOU knew sentance structure.


Did I miss any of you?
If I did just count yourself lucky, and keep your trap shut. If I have to do a seach on your name and bring up every IDIOT thing you have ever posted , trust, I will...

This site is for CAR ****.... not a SPELLING BEE or ENGLISH CLASS... he asked a car question, he did not post a stupid question or make an *** of himself saying this mid 13 car was the ****...
He got beat in a race, and wanted help to keep it from happening again....

THINK about it... If I am calling you an *******... you know, jaber king of the ********... then you are truely being a DICK...

Have a nice day.... (someone post a muthafukin owned pic)

jeez give the guy a break already.

so yeah, those numbers are normal for a stock LS1. mod your car a bit and run him again, I am sure you'll be very happy with the results. check out the external engine part of this site for tips and tricks and help with parts you'll probably want, like a Lid, cat-back exhaust, and other stuff. Also feel free to ask questions, that's what this site is for.
