Default Killed a Firehawk

Like the title says. Raced a red firehawk (awesome looking car) from a dig on Nall today. Dig to 80ish I had him by a car and a half maybe a little more (slammed breaks for a red light). Guy pulled up to compare mods, both automatics him bone stock. I suggested he get headers first. Hopefully he'll post up here dont know if he is a member. Anyway happy reading.

Good run, but why suggest headers first? A nice stall is the only 1st mod for a A4 LS1.

I kind of figured a 150shot and 11.50's on a LEASED car was plenty.

The guy sounded to me like he hadnt looked much into modding and I didnt figure alot of people would want to throw a stall in a nice daily driver.

Either way its the next thing on my list, with a cooler and transgo shift kit

I know Dan, just stirring the pot a little.

I've always wondered....why didn't you buy the camaro after the lease was up. You always post that you'd rather have an LSx powered vehicle...i guess i just don't know the whole story regarding the car. You on the C6 Z06 waiting list yet?

No. I have some things that need to come first...engagement ring, new house, etc. I'll find a way to have a badass ride though. Count on that...

Dang. A brotha goes down

Nice kill!

And Unit213 . . . you already have a bad-*** ride

I think the '03/'04 Cobra's were the best cars they ever made; not a fan of the new body-style.

No **** Dan. The only car I'd trade my camaro for in a heartbeat would be a terminator. Not to mention a sonic blue one with 10sec timeslips behind it.
