well this morning i go to 7-11 to get a slurpee, and i park about 10' from a guy with a big shopping cart. possibly a bum. well i go in and get it and come back out with him looking at my car. he asks me if it has the LT1 in it and i said yea. he starts telling me a story about how he knew a guy about 6 years ago with a 2000 Z28, and how he had modded it to 450hp range. with the aftermarket barely gaining ground on the LS1 parts that he managed to get that much out of it with bolt ons and ported heads and a 224/224 cam. seemed like he knew a thing or two about the LS1 himself.

then he asked me for some money and i gave him the change i got back from the slurpee. go figure. but it was worth it.

Wow, much more than I would have expected from a bum. Maybe his life was better in the past...

Poor bum was probably an import driver. Probably bet his house and family that his Civic Si was quicker than an LS1. See where he's at now???
