Default ls1 vs bigblock nova.

on friday night me and a bud was looking to for some action in my head and camed ws6.while driving down the road we see this light green nova with a cage,slicks,front runners(you guys know the kind).after about 5min the nova(done gettin his turbo blue fuel)pulls out on the street and i come to meet him.the car sounds mean as hell and the first thing my bud says is I THINK YOU JUST BIT OFF MORE THEN YOU CAN CHEW.i ask the nova how does it run and he says real good,so i say hell lets have a go.i heat up the drags and tac it up to 3,200 the light turns green and we go. first gear we stay side by side, i hit 2nd and pull about 3feet,hit 3rd and he slams on the breaks(THATS ALL)man i was just starting to pull this guy. later i saw that nova at the street racing strip,he says he stoped out of fear of the police.i think he wanted to save face because the ls1 was starting to take over.well the guy was cool when we talked he had a 468ci and said he wanted to spray me but his hose was off. i was glade to see my car can rock with something like that and he would need his hose to take me,i'm still kinda shocked. hope you guys enjoyed,SORRY SO LONG., ow yeah,his plate said (C U LATR)I DIDN'T SEE IT TLL WE WAS IN THE PARKING LOT. mike c.
