ive seen one turbo ls1 on a stock block running 750rwhp, er heard of it, with lots of meth. he's full of ****. first off a ls1 cant handle a 250 hit let alone adding boost into the mix. besides with a stock stall and tranny, that thing would grenade. hes full of ****

Its easy enough to put the pace car stickers on it, there was 30 of them (convertables only I think) that did really pace (well parade lap with the drivers anyhow) the Daytona 500 though.

In addition to the theroy that he's full of **** about his ET, it could be that he's trying to get you to race for money and actually does have a very formidable vehicle.

I don't get why people make things like this up, seriously.... I don't get a lot of it but I hear tons of stories about people that BS things about their car.

Pin him down on his trap speed. Anyone who actual has run in the low nines knows exactly at what speed they did it. If he is a good B.S. artist he will have done his home and should able to tell you all the stats on the time slip (60 ft, 330, 1/8, etc.). If his trap speed was anything less than 150 mph. he is full of it.
