awesome, i would like to throw a ls2 in my 94, then it would be even more of a sleeper than that guy. even though I wouldnt call an ls1 ws6 a sleeper, but with my 94 formula and maybe cut off the tail pipes to look more like a v6... awww

anyway nice loss!

did you have 2 people in your car? if you did then thats like an extra 300lbs or so. coulda been a little bit different if it was just you in the car. btw you shouldnt race with all them peeps in your car, if you crash its like 1000x worse then if you where all alone.

I'd be honored if someone that spent that much money and had that many cubic inches smoked my ***.

Enjoy the Air Force, been in 3 yrs now. Remember 2 things; one its not whether your going to Iraq or not its when and be sure to have a guarunteed job before u go to basic. Since force shaping just got overwith not as many jobs will be open. Pick a good one.

yea, ive wrecked racing with a passenger-its the worst feeling in the world. i didnt even care that i just totalled my z, i was just upset that i raced with him with me. luckily-neither one of us got hurt. anyway- yea, since you had 2 passengers-that takes away from the impressive power of his ls2....although its hard to say when he let out of his. stay safe.

I'm a crew chief on the U2. I don't know what you're going to be a mechanic on, but learn the job right and deploy as much as possible. It's fun and you make good money that way

Good luck!

p.s. Boot camp is a joke
