Learn to drive. Automatics shouldn't pull you at all between shifts.

yeah that's what a lot of people are saying but like i said its not that bad, i don't mind losing to someone who spent the time and money to make their car fast.

get to a track and make sure your car is running right. you should have been able to pull him fairly Easy before you hit your limiter. you have him severely out modded. and a stall wont increase trap speed. so its not like his topend got stronger from it.

yes indeed, anyway I'm gonna get it tuned and look for a buyer. if I'm gonna have a garage queen i might as well do it right and get a vette.

I would keep the 02 SS. Much more rare and original. Corvettes are nice but they are EVERYWHERE and don't turn heads. I always check out a SS when I see it.

If you do sell it for a vette, it better be a zr1 but learn how bang the gears before you sell it so you're ready to enjoy the zr1 haha.
