Default i just got walked on

so I'm my my home and see this gold firebird ahead. So i say screw it i wanted to hear the exhaust and when i get up to him about 75 or 80 we take off. next thing i know he is like 3 cars ahead of me so i shut it down as where coming up on a car. So ill mark up one lose to my newest car. But it has made me decide to put some mods on my all stock ride. Take it easy LA

What do you drive again? And what year Firebird? I don't know my colors/years well so I couldn't even guess.

Come on, at least make it detailed if not interesting.

I know this to be true. I have a friend that is having the engine swapped in his 02 Camaro RS. He's dropping an LS6 in and leaving all the RS badges in place.

Yeah, probably a WS6.

Easiest way to wake up our auto slowpokes is to stall them, with gears second if you're 2.73. I don't think any SS has 2.73s though.
