I impress myself having a mid 13s LT1 thats pretty stock

haha. Just this community impresses me because we are pushing for more aftermarket <3 for LT1s. LT1s are such the underdog yet they are strong motors.

My real hero is the people getting rid of the damn opti and getting COP to work on our cars

thanks for the props guys

Z8's a close friend of mine now got me into the game way back. I remember when his car was new with a blower, 6 speed and some pimp wheels.

Madman was a guy who I also looked up to with a fly'n Z and hung out with way back in the day at Thunder Shootout

lots of good people that have been around and shared good info
