How much gas can it burn??? A dollar??? I would rather have my LS1 than a turbo V6, because; of the noise a V8 makes, sweet to my ears!!! Even my stock 02 exhaust does not sound that bad.

that is the main reason i do it, just to mess with the gf. it is funny to watch them get pissed and the girl friend smile at you.

Either way we know who won, and when it comes down to it I really dont think the ricer believes he won... It is kinda irritating to get the fly by though

Good way to put them away : )

The other day I was driving home from school and I believe it was a 350Z came hauling *** up to me, and when the car got close to mine he went flying by me (I was going around 65-70mph at that time). I was like ****, I'm being raced? The car was at least 3 cars ahead of me when I dropped it down to 3rd, I caught up quickly to his side and bounced my rev limiter "oops" before remembering to shift again ha ha... Then as soon as I hit fourth I walked right on by until I was doing about X2X mph or so and looked in my rearview and saw him a long ways back: )

While a V8 sounds nice, I will take the sound of the release of excess boost pressure or the sound of a fully open external wastegate over it anyday. Sorry I guess I am just a dumb ricer.

how about a nice loud LS1 coupled with a nice loud blow off valve?

...deafening roar followed by...PHHHSSSST... followed by another deafening roar.

now THAT is some good noise!

I call I mean, if you are in it at least, you can beat a good 90% of the cars out there... You do know your place, but don't down yourself too much. Good Kill, and remember, not ANY car can beat you.

Yeah, racing rice might be a waste of gas and not worth the wear and tear on the car, but would shooting them be a waste of bullets? How much do bullets cost? Gas is pretty expensive here so it might just be more economical to just shoot the ****** *******. What do you guys think?

gimme the sound of an old school big block with a huge cam and straight pipes or glass packs... you didn't need them eardrums did ya? haha.

There is a scene in 2f2f, where one of the main characters is revving his eclipse at dude in a 71 challanger. challanger steps on the gas and you can't even hear the eclipse at all. that's what i'm talking about.

i like the sound of exhaust that when cruising on the highway at 50-60mph you can't hear ANYTHING go by, including bigrigs. . . this would be my obnoxiously loud open headered 350 (idle sounds beast- shitty from 2k-3.5k- above 4k. . . GOOD GOD! ) soon to have dual 40s though

Some of those ricers are willing to risk their lives just to do a flyby.

I'm waiting to see a ricer give me the fly by, and run smack into the rear end of the grandma infront of him.
