Not outrun, but I ran a couple stock LT1s back when I had my '98 GT with just a cat-back and a K&N, and neither one of them could beat me by more than 2 cars from ~50-120mph. Which is why you can't really use street races to gauge how quick your car is.

Only problem I had with mine is the ignition switch seemed to like dying on me a lot. Had to replace 2 at O'reilly's. Thank God for warranties

Well - got rid of the old 03 Eclipse GS ~105k THANK GOD!


and acquired an 03 Silverado 2500 HD ECSB LT 4x4 with ~56k miles.
Fully loaded, bose, heated seats, leather, etc.

Love it so far - winter beast. Just hate filling it up.

Dad sold it to me under condition he could use it for 37' camper. He might be selling camper soon, so while I'm up in Okoboji this weekend with them negotiating on houses, we are going to drive up to Sioux Falls to look at a nice 07 Black AWD Fully loaded Trailblazer SS with 47k miles on it to potentially replace the truck with. Want an SUV/Truck from now on for Iowa winters if I do stay up here after college. Want to relocate to Phoenix suburbs.

Nice ride, I miss my 03 4X4 Tahoe even though I didnt need it here, we get snow once every 10 years. It was nice having something to haul stuff with.

Yeah, I would love to move south. Especially after seeing prices of Phoenix suburb homes. Good neighborhoods where houses sold at $225k in 06 are now going for $100k. Count me in. Would love FL as well.

Its great here. I got a house on a golf course for 150K. 4 years ago it sold for around 275K. Stole it. Its definitely time to buy for sure.

I can't live without a truck. I enjoy hunting and fishing to much and besides how would I pull my race car, boat and 4-wheelers if I didn't have a truck?

I was going to buy a new Tahoe LTZ awhile back over Thanksgiving break but deal fell through. I think I'll just see how it goes. Have 2 more years from now until I graduate with a double major and am considering grad school

Thanks. It is so hard to stay realistic. The dreamer/car enthusiast side of me wants one NOW! I'm sure we all can relate

I got a trans and clutch today.

Only thing left is a camshaft and bellhousing. I do need a 6pt roll bar though or I'll be getting kicked out faster than a hooker in church.

Going racing tomorrow!!!!! High in FL is 78*. The event is from 2-7 so the track should be hooking. Not really looking for a PB since the weather isn't there but I will post my results and pics. My goal is to have a co-operating tranny..... V 3.0 will be on her maiden voyage.

-Mark
