I'm going to stick with my car came with an LS1 engine. Most people don't understand, so you just say it goes fast at that point and offer a ride in your car if you know them well enough heh
There's not much of a point to say I got a vette engine. It just sounds like any other guy out there waving around their ****. For the past 20 years most if not all manufacturers have been "sharing" their engines across makes and models within their brand and making tweaks here and there.

Oh, I know, his runs an 11.9, but what I'm saying is he must be a dumb import driver, lol. But seriously, hes a cool guy, just needs to be educated in the finer points of the LS1.

I hate that **** too, that' s why I tell them I smoke Corvettes, just to make them

It' s not a complete lie, I may not beat all Vettes, but I haven't lost to a C5 yet.
