stock LT1's LS1's and mustangs arent really slow, we are just used to faster. they just seem painfully slow after you put some mods on your car, and get used to the feeling of the back end sitting down, the front end coming up, and the speedo climbing like there's no tomorrow.
only good thing about a stock motor is you dont have to worry about it pulling an internal supernova.
i think he would not race you cause that would have been an *** rape with no lube and he knew it
