i had a guy tell me my car was slow... and that his uncles stock lt1 could outrun me.. because he had ram air and i didnt..

Haha, I wish that was the case in Duluth, MN. I would try so hard to find races, and it would always end up being some old guy in a vette. What was interesting to me, is that it was mostly the old guys in old crappy vettes with no hope for beating a civic that tried to race me.. heh.
