Default So get this.

I had to pick up a homie of mine at the rosemont station... Anyway, its late, and I dont want to **** the neighbors off, or move a bunch of vehicles, and I take the wifes TB out. Cruising down Manhiem, torwards higgins, I spot a Black 01-02 WS6, stock rims, but the rear plate holder says "Trust me, Its stock" and it had a cat back on it, borla possibly. Mind you, I have been ITCHING to get a run in, since I finished my winter mods. Not once has anything worth a damn been lined up so close as this. EVERY ******* LIGHT. Side by side. And this guy is wanting to play, but I wasnt even going to waste his gas. So if your hear, I was the guy almost pacing you, wishing that it was Friday... You might have had your hands full. All in fun of course. Maybe next time.

Sure, if I ever catch you at a light. But if I lose my wife will hate you, cause that means more parts.

i solve that problem by driving a heads/cam/stall LS1 every day lol

although my WS6 is extremely traction limited with these tires and suspension and converter/gear. flash the converter at 40 mph it blows the tires off

I already figured out the 40 roll half pedel. But I drive my H/C/Stalled LS1 every day... Normally. I mainly didnt take it cause it was too much of a hassle trying to pick someone up with me and the wife in the car.

Most of them I see when I am parked somewhere. But for some reason, there were about 6 different Fbods roaming around the Photos on Wolf and Kensington. A white formula, Silver bird, an all black z that sounded pretty mean, another z that was sounding ok, but had a bad exhaust leak, then a firehawk. Only the firehawk stopped in to eat.

I see a crapload of mustangs, but never really run into these cars unless I am in the TB, or have my daughter with me and wont run.
