First death

No vid. My GF didn't wana record it...

Ran a 5.0 for the first time yesterday. Looked/sounded bone stock. Dude came up next to me and gave me the "game on" nod lol. I had a passenger and he didn't. I gave a thumbs up back and I wasn't sure if he was gona honk it off or if he wanted me to. He eventually does 3 fast *** honks and takes off getting a good jump on me. I hit it and he had already jumped two cars on me but from 50-105ish he gained about another car and half maybe two cars. Exchanged thumbs up and that was it. I'd like to think I'd hang in a bit better if we both started at the same time. Not sure if I should be proud of my car with just a lid/catback but it was fun.

you should feel proud , the 5.0s run pretty damn hard out of the box

this should motivate you though, headers a cam and tune and you will turn the tables on the next one you face

You were probably right on par considering. I'm really iching to run a full bolt on, tuned, and geared one. We probably make similar dyno numbers, so I think it could be really interesting
