Default Have you seen this car?

I was riding with my buddy in his 00 T/A and we ran across this Camaro with no badges and a 96 SS spoiler on westheimer. The exhaust had the 96 SS style as well. We thought it was a V6 but when we pulled up on him he left us by at least 5 lengths and was pulling! It sounded like an elephant on spanish fly! Dude who are you and what do you have??????:confused

WOW.. ******' impressive my friend. I have been wanting to do the blinker fluid upgrade but instead I spent my last check on tire flys! It looks badass at night. Read the back of the box a couple of minutes ago. Claims to give you 10-18 rwhp . Maybe my next check will go torwards my blinker fluid upgrade mod.

I've got a friend who has flexible muffler bellows. When you floor it, the bellows blow up like a balloon right after the mufflers and like a blast, let's loose the expanded air and boosts him off a few 1/10ths of a second.
