Default C6 and Cobra get a taste of some LS1 power

Race 1
I'm headed over to a friends house minding my own business when a beautiful black on black C6 flies by me. I didn't want to race him because I didnt want to get spanked lol until I notice he kind of waits for me at the stop sign ahead of me. I figured why not and catch up. Both of us slowly move up and at about 10 mph we both punch the gas and I barely inch him to about half a car if not less til we shut down. I was soooo stoked

Race 2
I was taking my girl home when I noticed a dark grey cobra ahead of me and decide to provoke a race. He was in the turning lane about to go on the freeway when I pass by giving him a little rev. It works and soon enough he was behind me. I make a right turn to where we have a good straight away and he gets beside me at about 10 mph as well. He gives me the go ahead and I smash the gas. We're dead even at first but I end up putting a good car and a half on him. I try and get another race but he just kept doing the famous ricer fly by and turning to avoid me but I kept following to get another run in lol. I'm behind the guy and he just takes off and flashes his emergency lights like an idiot so I decided to call it a night. As of right now my girl is giving me the silent treatment but it was well worth it.

I am proud to say that a terminator was terminated

Nothing like an annoying driver who follows you around wanting another race. I really hate guys like you that do that. It's just bad form. You won, we get it. Had some jackass in a blue GTO do this recently. Otherwise, good kill.

Did you shift your 4L60E transmission manually in this race?
Just an FYI...that "E" stands for electronic. You didn't gain 3 tenths from
shifting manually. Other factors would've reduced your ET.

If I had to guess, I'd say these are the OP's mods:
  • MTI clear lid
  • SSRA
  • smooth bellows
  • ported tb
  • Pacesetters long tubes
  • !cats
If that's the case, that's plenty to beat a stock C6 and a stock Cobra.

Good kills.

Guess none of you have raced with factory freaks. Oh no guess not. Before you call bs, cobras get spanked by ls1s STOCK FOR STOCK, yeah i did it myself, c6s arent that fast, they usally spank ls1s but not always, NOT always...hint hint...

and whats wrong with racing with a passenger? when your racing your racing WITH someone, so your also endagering someone elses life anyway, dont be a hypocrite.

a 30-40 horsepower mod isnt considered "modded", i can devour people that have done **** to their car, its bout driver skill.

who cares if hes got some small *** mod, its not enough to make a diffrence.

Cobras over and over? Factory freaks? You mean those factory stock cars that are 150Hp stronger than the same car. Dude I wouldn't ride with you, your smoking too much good ****.

Youd be surprised, they are only a few ticks faster stock. Check out CF forums for the stock LS2/LS3 guys.

We have alot of newbies
