Default finally get to post

Well this is my first post here, but it is pretty good.

I was driving of the 5 south near san diego yesterday, and finally had the race i was looking for. A 98 corvette came flying by me then slowed down so that we were side by side. Well i was ready for this one, so we slowed down to about 40, and he honked and we went. As soon as we hit it, i pulled a car length on him, and by the time that we shut down at about 130 or so i had around 3 cars on him. This was the first time that anything other than some civic with all the go fast stickers, or a mustang tried racing me. thanks for reading and have a good day of killing.

All I got to say is

This guy is a tool... he doesn't know what he's talking about and just wants some attention. How would he know it was a 98 vette vs. any other year? If he was h/c he would pull more than 3 cars up to 130... he'd pull buses. So whatever. And I love how he added supercharger to his sig... yet doesn't have any kind of headers... no specs.. no dynos... what a TOOL!

actually i was going to put it as a future mod, but i am going to go with a turbo kit instead, hopefully that will happen soon, i will be posting pics and dyno stats within a couple days, im sorry i am not that car smart, by heads, i was putting headers, but i am sorry nobody realized that, it was my fault because the heads and headers are 2 different things, but can someone please next time not be a dick and let me know that i messed up.

ice97ta, welcome to the forum grill newbie, looks like you're on the menu today. Bone up a bit or ask somebody before posting. Browsing through the tech sections probably wouldn't hurt to help ya get up to speed with all of these LS Juan gurus in here. Me? I built my first motor 35 yrs ago at the tender age of 15. Where I grew up if you weren't a hotrodder, you weren't ****. I had no choice but to learn quick.

Unless he snapped it in two then he would have "cams"
