Default What is on this Car?
I'm driving down 287 today and see an SS in front of me, so I pulled a little closer to see if I recognized him. I didn't know the guy, the plates, or the fugly contraption under his car. Traffic was way too packed to do anything, so I gave him a rev as I drove by. He fell back a little bit, then caught up and came next to me and gave a rev...only it sounded like a diesel. Can anyone explain? I may be showing my lack of knowledge about cars, but I know I've never seen this before. Is is just a North Carolina thing?

Is this a common thing? Like I said in the OP, I've never seen one. I youtubed the STS Turbo, and none of them look like this. They're all pretty well hidden and smaller.

Geeze....you're just too talented you douche. Tap backwards is Pat and it might be a coincidence that Pat WS6 was afraid to race from a 3 honk, so he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about on 360 just like you're talking about. It's pretty easy to beat a car when they're going speed limit. I've heard many stories about you and your crappy racing, so I'm not too concerned with what you have to say. I will enjoy the day you get completely banned from here.

EDIT: When you do get the ***** to actually run let me know. I'll be more than happy. I'll even shake your hand and tell you good run if you beat me. What I wouldn't do is continue to be where I'm not wanted...like LS1Tech for instance...for you Pat. I hope I helped in getting you banned with your 1 LastTime 69 name, and I'll be more than happy to take part in this "sly" s/n also. Grow up and move on dude. There are plenty of other sites and numerous people to scam.
