We just say it is an LS1/T56 from an 02 WS6. If they don't get it, they usually just say something like "oh" and move on. We did spend about an hour with an old hot rodder at CarCraft last year going over the differences between a Gen III and an SBC, but most people at a show either already know, or don't really care. They just want you to turn your expensive tires into smoke for their amusement, though we have never had anyone offer to buy new tires yet!

Some guys don't know what an LS1 is because they get laid a lot.


LOL
J/K


New to this forum, but it's too funny not to post something in here.
Some of us just need to realize that other people simply may not be as "Into all this" as we are. Maybe we should try and find a way to get them interested?
