Default Killed a LT1

Tonight I finally got my car out. It has been buried under snow for a month now. The roads have been clear for over a week, so I decided to rip on the Z. I was on the way to the gym with my g/f when I see a black 93-96 (no amber in the tail lights) Z28. He was moving pretty good, so I get right up on him in the left lane. There was a couple cars in the right lane, so I couldn't get over, but there was no one in sight ahead of us. We're cruising about 45, and he finally jumps on it, and I wait until I can get into the right lane. I finally have a chance, so I throw it into 2nd and I reel him in quite quickly. I didn't see the car 'bounce', so I'm assuming it was an auto. The only thing I saw that was done to it was a catback. I was suprised how slow it was, then again, with my mph, I should be running high 12's. That thing was probably low 14's, high 13's. Nonetheless, it was a good night to get my car out. I can't wait til spring!

I figure, very rarely do I use this board for tech info (that's Cz28.com), so it's really useless to keep my mods in my sig. A nice pic will do just fine, I think.

I've always wondered the same. Is there that big of a problem with the plates?
