Default Do you know this SS?

I've been debating on what I wanted to add to my car...and I came across this video of an SS that has the same mods as I'm trying to get...but will mine be this slow/fast?
I'm stock right now w/ a borla exhaust...I was just wondering if anyone knew the owner so I could get some more info on the mods

What do you drive, that would be a start... and why wouldn't your car run similarly with similar mods, assuming you can drive? No I don't know who that is, but I also don't exactly understand what the heck you are asking?

I'm guessing he's wanting to come with the same setup as that one in the video. Pretty nasty kill for the 240 though. ouch.

The car in the video is an LT1... while you have an LS1... also, what makes that 200SX a piece of ****?

What do you want to run? What is your budget? Did you just come across that video and decide you want to be as fast as that camaro? If so... then uhh... you should post in the new enthusiats section or external engine, or nitrous sections.

I know that car in the video, I think his mom got him that car. Maybe I could send you his moms phone number and you could have your mom call and find out how big of a shot he's running.

Im just ******' with you...

His mom's deaf

Head over the LS1/LS6 internal engine and read until your eyes water.

I'd think the external and new enthusiast sections would be better for him as a beginner, don't you think?

Nice present. I work my *** off 40 hours a week while going to college full time to pay for my car, insurance, school, and newly aquired speed bug. Damn, I just cant seem to go fast enough. Ive learned a lot on here. Like they said, read the stickys and such. Im now fairly educated in Fbods. I never thought Id be a gear head but Im becoming one. Before I got my LS1, I didnt really know anything about cars or really care. But its the powerful engine that did it. I wanted to learn as much as I could about the car so I could feel justified in owning this amazing piece of machinery and art. Ok what Im saying is I love this site and am thankful I found it. Read On!
