For me its entertaining to line up against imports. I guess Im a little old fashioned. Any American muscle (Ford, GM, Chrysler etc...) car I have no desire to contend with because I consider us all to be in the same "family" in a way.

Imports on the other hand, I like to mess with .

Yes you are right.... I laughed more when I blew the doors off of a 2005 Porsche 911 turbo S Coupe than any of the ls1s.



FWIW
It was probably a non turbo RS with a fart can...

Your on an LS1 site trying to "prove" your cars worth...whose insecure? And now your trying to turn this around....yes the thread was about a eclipse...so why didn't you talk about the eclipse/LS1 race instead of saying, "I put buslengths on LS1's with my Evo!" Where does your Evo come into this at all? Shut the **** up you tard....get real....

You get a shot whenever you want You know where were at on the weekends I just have to get used to launching it again. The new lightweight flywheel is making it hard to launch like I used to. I raced Perry though, off the bottle, he didnt have a chance, I pulled pretty hard on him. Anyways yeah usually we have the Evo out there one night and the Z06 the next...But if we race we'll have to go out to a good spot, no ricers

Actually, no they dont match, similar but not the same


As for me having the Evo, Believe me I dont mind at all, its not like its a slouch Also this means I get the next "new" car, who knows maybe a new Z06, Viper and dare I say it, a Shelby GT500
