Cocky 5.0 owner gets put in his place
A few of my friends have kinda been underrating my 02 SS in regards to performance. Its not by anymeans the fastest thing on the streets.. But it will hold its own.
I've been getting the "You wont break out of the 14's at the track!" comments.. And all I can do is laugh because they obviously dont know **** about the car.
A friend has a cammed 89 Mustang GT (one of the **** talkers) and thought it would walk my "SS with only exhaust". I kept telling him that I was ready to run whenever he wanted too... He kept putting it off. No big deal.. Keep talking **** and keep adding fuel to the fire..
He took me for a ride in it today (never been in a 5.0 before) and I was pretty impressed, but thought he would need more to hang with me. Then I kept thinking that it may be faster than it feels, and that I shouldnt get my hopes up just yet.
A few of my friends and myself went for a ride to a hang out spot.. the kid FINALLY decided to line up.
I instantly start putting lengths on him (2-3 before 2nd gear ended) and then shut down. The look on his face was priceless after the race... Wish I had a picture.
He decided he had enough for a little bit.. Then he came back for more.
I give him the jump.. By the top of second, I was 2 cars out front... I bang 3rd and then put another 4-5 lengths on him.. By the middle of 4th.. He was a solid 10 cars back.
His car went 13.7 at the track as a personal best with his current set up.
Needless to say, I shut him and a few of my friends up.
Bolt-on LS1 - 1
Cammed 5.0 - 0
He's planning on putting nitrous in it soon... So I may be doing my cam swap sooner than expected.

Congrats on the win. I had some guy that would not stop talking chit about my header only 06 gto. Anyways we finally lined up and he was Camd with 4.10s VS me with Headers and from a dig I put 2 foot ball fields on him. Having it on Video was priceless
