I hang out with some guys around town. Very few fast (12-13 sec cars) around. When I first got the car it was easy to get a run cause most import people around here see camaro or firebird and say "old american POS", then they get . Just wait until you get a reputation for mutilating just about anything with four wheels. I hardly ever get a race now, and for an LS1, I'm not tooooo fast. I've only been beaten by 2 cars, and both of them were LS1's!! haha

when my car was stock i got lots of races, but after the headers people don't seam interested, i've only lost on the street twice, once to a 600rwhp Kb cobra, and then to a 600cc crotch rocket. latley the only things that want to race me are big *** trucks. i am hopeing to use the bad plug excusse by this summer.

same here. i ran with no badges for awhile but the car was to loud. the other night some guys i was racing asked wat i had done to it and my response was full exhaust that needs to be tuned. i thought it was the funniest thing cuz they beleived me. and the other day i ran into a c6 and i guess my cammed true dual ls1 car sounds like **** and i need to get a real exhaust according to that guy. but then again wen i flashed 300 dollars in his face to see if he would run he just shut his mouth and turned. some people are so dam arogant and stupid it bugs the hell out of me.

My problem is I live in an area where many people my age will race only problem is the cars are either slow and kicking there *** isn't fun or they are low 12s no middle ground. Damn Rich kids.
