Default anyone near san diego with a boosted fbody?

Just seeing if anyone with a boosted fbody would like to give me a ride in their car. Im visiting the area for a few months and then once i get back im planning on going with boost at some point so would like to take a ride in a turbocharged and supercharged fbody if possible to feel the differences in how they behave. I live in hawaii so i figure i would have a better chance of getting ride alongs out here.

Oh yeah i actually may know who your talking about. If we are talking about the same person it is a black ss with hre wheels and aftermarket headlights and has a 408ci stroker and a d1 blower and is an auto. If thats the same car he used to be on my ship and i was supposed to check his car out a while ago but never got a chance. He got it about 4 months ago or so with all the mods already done to it but i think something is off with that car since he only made about 50 more hp then my friends n/a 402ci gto.

Yeah people get tempted when they see a "built" car. One of my friends that is also out in hawaii bought a gto right before getting stationed out there. He bought it because it had a 402ci stroker however there was a bolton gto also for sell at the time for about 8 grand less and i told him to buy that instead. Well of course he didn't listen and now he has basically replaced everything including having the motor rebuilt on the "built" gto he bought. The car was literally broken for like a year.

Yeah that's pretty pointless..i have seen him around base and yeah it sounds good but what is the point of having a built motor and blower if you can't use it. But oh well guess he will learn from this
