Default Minot

Yellas i'm at Minot. It was a silver Z28, no stripes. I'll get that mf'er soon enough. I just got my ptb in from Bo White and i'm trying to decide on LT's or intake next???? there are alot of imports, mainly honda's here. I stumbled onto the little night strip and was suprised to see so many folks out. I kept quiet because i'm driving a rental car until mine gets in. WTF is up with the only VPC being in St louis!!!! I gotta drive 16 hrs to pick up my damn car!

I like the looks of the RA hood better but for them to basically say your car is slow because it doesn't have it is foolishness.

Anyways, those guys are idiots. When it comes to F-bodies to each there own. People have different tastes but for the most part our cars are exactly the same performance wise.

I've surprised a couple mustang guys who think an Lt1 is slow. It's no Ls1, but they can be pretty quick too.
