Default Route 2 STS SS

Saw a nice SS with an STS on route 2 tonight and wondered if it was anybody on the board.

It would have been nice to line up, but unfortunately route 2 is a fantastic place to get picked by the po-po.

We did a little 1st gear punch, but that was about it.

The car looked good and the STS sounded great.

If it was black, I have a good mind who it is. Possibly an LT1 mobile?

I saw a black SS ls1 that was def Turboed on 290 heading towards shrewsbury this past weekend. Sounded wicked. Not sure if it was an STS kit or not but he was being followed by someone in a red iroc style camaro that sounded pretty good too. Maybe someone from the summer nationals?

Yea, 1st and 2nd gear are basically useless. Sucks for stoplight to stoplight racing but a hell of alot of fun above ~50mph.

I saw your punch against the GSXR and your car just squats and moves. It looked good.

I used to do the tuning for East Side. If you ever need a local hand with your tune feel free to shoot me a PM.
