So I'm at the local bar last night with the girlfriend playing trivia. Dont worry I didnt drink anything! But afterwards i'm on my way to a redbox machine and this kid in an all white evo with black wheels comes up hard on me and out of no where, he is revving his engine up and looking over at me. His buddy cracks his window and so I do the same. His friend is like that "thing has an LT1 right?" I'm like yup with a LM1 exhaust. He was like do you wanna em? I kinda hesitated a little bit because i dont know that much about them or his mods.
But, i wanna race a kid i go to school with and i know his car runs 12.5s so this kid might give me an idea of what i'm up against. So i say yeah i'll go! So about this time the turning lane goes green so we know the lights are about to go green. I power brake it just a little bit and he is like bouncing off the limiter... Well the light hits green and he jumps out on me by like maybe 2 cars and i'm like oh crap. Now i spun a little but not too bad and by second i have gained about half a car back and by the end of second we are almost even and thru third i proceed to put about 4 or 5 lengths on him before i shut her down.
We roll up to the next light and again have to sit and he was like i had you out the hole and of course i agreed but said lets do a roll and see how this one goes. He was like i dunno man i know you are gonna get me but he agreed and so from about a 30 mph roll we take off and it was over before it began! lol i put like 4 cars on him by the end of second and i just let out. he smiled and waved and we went our seperate ways. all in all i felt pretty good! I'm loving the new 4.10s, and even with my horrible street tires i didnt do too bad. i wish i had the MTs on but they are in the garage. oh well sorry for the long story... i was just so excited i had to share with you guys and gals.

oh and do you know how hard it is to sit still and watch bride wars after a race? lol pretty tough let me tell ya!

ya it was pretty good. i dont think his car runs anywhere close to the other guy i want to run. but i will get the myself and the black one on video! and it will be at a track. so it will be legit.

Bride Wars? :shame:

His car may be quick, but bouncing the limiter and launching like that is gonna back fire some day :)

There's an STI that I kinda want to run... I never have lined up with an AWD turbo import.

On an Evo, yes. But the Subaru's will take the abuse time and time again. I'd rather replace several motor mounts in a Suby before replacing trannies and clutches in an Evo....

Thanks guys

haha on the STD's part!!! hilarious

I agree I dont like them either...

and about the Bride Wars... girlfriend picked it. I couldnt do anything.

and hey red_Z28 what are you putting in your car? i'm not gonna lie if they arent stock they might be able to keep us from gaining back since we aren't top end pullers. That is if you're stock... If not Long live the LT1!!! lol

I think that with that setup unless the evo has been completely modded it won't even be worth your time! Haha that thing will open a whole can of whoop a$$ on that evo!

OMG! Who said STD's?!?!!? lmfao!!! It's like I tried to explain to my daughters BF. He and his friends are into imports and don't care for domestics. He was telling me about how fast the imports are and I told him without turbos they would have no chance against AM!! How many NA imports you see putting out 500, 600, 1000 hp to the wheels NA?! Anyway, good run and lets keep showing all of the doubters that LT1's still have fangs!!
