I Rev at other V8's, regardless of what they are...flip off the Ricers when they look at me, and generally mess with them just to play.

Usually most LS1's don't pay attention to it cause it's a LT1 Car.

Word is out here of what I got under the Hood so hopefully people will want to play..

Sometimes I'll talk to guys at stoplights about my exhaust system (LT headers, 3" true duals, Sweet Thunder mufflers) or track times.

I haven't gotten any waves since getting this car, but a lot of people like to BS about it. What you said reminded me of something that happened a few days ago.

I'm on my way to get gas, and there is a Silver Ram in front of me with a loud exhaust, so I felt the need to let him hear mine. I passed him and he looked over at me. Well, we both ended up going to the same gas station.

He pulls in behind me and says, "That car sounds really good - what do you have in that thing?" I felt like being a smart *** and I replied, "Its gotta Hemi." The guy totally bought it! He's like, "Well, it sounds damn good. I wish my 4.7 sounded like that." I smiled and nodded and went about my merry way.

Usually when people want to bullshit the first thing they yell out their window is...."dude, what year is that!? It's got a v8 right" I wonder if they think its the new camaro or something?

Oh to tie into the topic - I have non-fbodies wave too sometimes...



YES!!! I just noticed I got 100 posts!

I usually just wave to T/A's, WS6s, and SS's. About 50% of the time i get a waveback. I'd wave to Z28s, but i can't tell the difference until i'm right on top of them lol. I waved to a Vette once at a red light, and he gave me this sneer, so i told him his car was just a deluxe f-body hahaha.

I try to wave everytime, about 25% of people wave back. Most others, ( I see tons of T/As), give me "WTF" glances!.
