Yeah I know, I screwed up at one part and wrote "The prelude cut him off" when I meant to write "the acura", I think that's where the confusion came from.

Sorry to hear about that. It would have been better if you killed his wing. Hope you guys win in court.

Upgrade your lt1 brakes if you havent already, not saying that would have saved you, but they really suck ***. I had two LT1 firebirds and put LS1 brakes on the 2nd one. It was a huge difference.

LT1 brakes definitely blow ***. How much did you spend on the LS1 brake upgrade? I was actually thinking about it a while back.

IMO, LS1 brakes suck *** too. Wilwood is the way to go. Baer is a bit too pricey.

Yeah, but if I had the money for an aftermarket brake kit I'd use it for a rear. Then AFRs. Then an intercooler.

Basically, I just need money.

I agree, the stock brakes on all f bodys are pieces of ****. Granted the LS1s obviously have had the better of all the gens, but they are still crap.

on the LS1 brakes deal, LT1 brakes must REALLY suck to be worse than LS1 brakes.

That *** is packaged very nicely in those jeans.

Sorry about your car.

you guys really have no idea. the upgrade to ls1 brakes and aftermarket pads on my 94 was a night and day difference.

I spent maybe $300 on the swap, found all the parts at a local junk yard (4 years ago).

Exit 10 on the turnpike? The njtp gets really nasty around 13 and 13A with the overlaps with route 1, 9, and 22 seperatly... mix that in with downtown newark and you have a really fun place to drive... I should know, I'm on campus there right now.

As far as jersey manuvers go, I'm a big fan of the jersey slide. Nothing like crossing 5-6 lanes of traffic on the parkway on a 45* angle.

Good luck in court man, keep us updated-

I think you improved the prelude Jon. Too bad you had to scratch your paint to do it. I hope everything works out and that acura driver gets what's coming to them.
