Default Mr Powell

I was on the beltway going towards Hobby airport around 4:00pm Wednesday and thought I saw your car. I just wanted to know if it was you. Your car looked great. What year is the car?

Yup that was me. Thank ya, it's an '02. It was right by 288 and the Beltway right? I saw Borla on a Pewter T/A, but wasn't sure what else was done to the car. Your one of the first few LS1s (that was mod'ed) I have seen since I've been working out off the Beltway. I'll see stock Corvettes, but no mod'ed f-bodies.

Maybe I'll run across some more LS1Tech people. I had a truck before this and the only way you'd know it was me because for awhile I had a Icon Autosports sticker across the back of it.

lol. Mike at Icon put the borla on for me. Those 18 wheelers were pissing me off. They kept kicking up rocks that would hit my car I didn't realize how deep dish your rear wheels were. They looked awesome. See you around.

Yeah I saw you drop back and then I realized why! That was the first time in awhile I have been stuck behind a few of those and of course they block you so there is nothing to do but get hit by rocks.

Did you by any chance see the Duramax with the Welding trailer on the back that was chunking rocks off of it. He got off at Pearland Parkway with me and was driving it like it was an autocross course. Luckly I got around him.

Almost stalling the car out of the hole I went a 12.7 @ 112, 2.2 60ft (in 90+* heat). There is a few more mph and a decent amount of time (suppose to be able to do a 1.7 60ft from the factory but I'm afraid to break something). That was stock, I have a chip now that adds close to 80-90awhp. These cars are like Diesels when it comes to chipping them.
