Default Just raced a GT and it blew up!

I have a pretty mild '98 Z28 (runs 13.5), I was just cruisin around town with the 'tops' out. Some butthead in a white '00-ish Mustang GT pulled up beside me and gave me some 'pipes'. Well that was enough for me to run him (duh). We quickly matched speed and a basically trashed him for about 60 feet... yea until he BLEW UP! lmao....

Seriously this thing all of a sudden dumped thick *** smoke out from under all four tires, out both sides, and tons out the back... soooo freakin funny! I came right home to post this, that guy is still setting in a parking lot with the hood up. I drove back by and he is still smokin! Now thats what I call a kill story!

How is karma going to get him? The Mustang owner started it and it isn't like the OP drove by him, stopped, then proceeded to laugh at his face. Funny story imo.

True you need a fast car before you have to worry about a motor blowing most of the time.

Because LS1s don't break? There is no shame in helping a fellow car guy out.

Thats nice, but I'm sure there are plenty of mustang owners that have made LS1 owner wish they had a Cast iron/4v/blown/4.6L.... I would hope a mustang owner would help me out if I blew something.

Either way though I agree about keeping the GT's in the rear view!

I sure as hell would. There's nothing like braking your **** and
being stranded...been there...done that. It's not fun. I can understand
laughing at someone after beating them, but laughing at their misfortune
is plain ignorant. I suspect anyone that makes a comment like that doesn't
have much life experience yet (i.e. a punk kid).

Tell you what.
Next time I see an LS1 broke down, I'll make sure to pass right by it hoping its you.
Maybe your going to a Job Interview.
Maybe your going to the Hospital for a serious reason,
or maybe youre just attending your friends party...

but I'll be sure to pass right by you, not for who you are... hell you might seriously need help or you might be cool as ****, but I'll just pass right by you because Im a stuckup little ******* and sometimes I get lost in a dreamworld where anyone without an LS1 is an enemy, because I own an LS1 and I am the ******* ****, nothing and no one can touch me.

Go read the Hyundia sleeper thread, we got 2 award winners in there. I have attempted to bring them to reality, but I have failed.
I'll give you a hint. They both own LS1 T/A's, one is silver, and the other white.
