Bolt on LT1 vs 99+ bodystyle S281
I was on my way home from eating with my girlfriend when I see this guy and his girlfriend or wife in his new bodystyle S281 sitting at the light. Im like awww damn a Saleen. And my girlfriend is like "race him". I said no that I would probably get smoked and she (not knowing much about cars and how fast one is) says nahh you'll beat him race him. I pull in the empty lane beside the lane he is in at the stoplight and he is behind the car beside me. So we go up athe road some....still not clear to race. He rolls up beside me and gets in front of me. We get to the next light with him in front and me behind at the stoplight. It turns green and I pace behind him in 1st gear waiting on his go. We hit about 30mph and he stomps it. Bam, i hit it right after he jumped out ahead and after 2 secs I started reeling him him. Hit 2nd and pull to his bumper, ****** 3rd while creeping up beside him. Run 3rd up to about 90mph and he is right at the back of my rear wheel. I clearly pulled on him and shut down after I got in front. We get to the next light and he says "Quick car". I tell him thanks and he say's "LT1?". I tell him yes and the mods I have done. He said he was bone stock. Light turns green and we take off slowly. He comes up again and says "Quiack car" again and waves bye as he turns off at the next left. It was the best adrenaline rush I had since i ran my friends C5. The funny thing was is that my friends (A4) C5 that I inched on by like a fender had "BlewByU" on his license plate and thie S281 had "SayBye" on his plate. Hehe. I love it. Thanks racing god's for a good safe helluva race. Thanks for reading.
P.S. Too bad I didnt have my damn digital camcorder. Happens everytime I dont bring it. What do those saleens run anyway?

Hey, nice kill.
I saw a yellow Saleen convertible today. Too many plastic body accessories on those cars. Maybe if they'd strip 'em down, they'd be faster.
Oh, and I love his it's bone stock comment. That's funny.

Watch out for those thirdgens guys, they've been around for a while and not all of them are stock tpi's anymore. A kid at my school has a '90 RS with a 454 crammed in it, too bad he can't drive it after losing his license for DWI's.
