it had the 6.0 badges, dual exhaust w/proper bumper, hood scoops and proper front bumper, and the 05-06 18 inch wheels.
yea im starting to think my car is a factory freak. but then again, i recalibrated the throttle (free mod) plus my car is broken in properly with 16k miles.but i did get very lucky both races.

anyway, i think my car is a factory freak. either that, or im a ridiculously good driver. this is the second superior car i've beaten. he should have started pulling on me more than he did. his car was in the full squatted, nose up, ***-down charging forward position, DEFINETLY WOT.
anyway, this sure as hell made my day. im gonna go post it on LS1tech.com hahaha.
kind of ironic, i really wanted a 6.0 goat and still think they're one of the most badass cars out there.
and i don't know what the hell happened. this had to have been a fluke.
