they had test and tune at my local race track last night, which always turns into basic street races. guys will bet money their car will beat other cars. I ended up lined up to a blue honda civic with turbo. I gotta admit, for a civic it was a good lookin car, not gawdy and ricey. i ended up beating him by about a car length and a half. i really respected this guy, cause instead of being the stereotypical ricer about it, he pulled up next to me, got out and told me that my z was insanely fast, then wanted to see the motor. he was actually pretty cool for a guy that drives a civic.

Hey nice run. I had almost the exact same experience, although I wouldn't say the guy was quite as cool. I was surprised by the civic, even though I pretty much owned him. Could you list your mods, or any of his that you know.

I don't really like front-wheel drive. I've seen plenty of fast 4bangers, just don't do it for me.

All i have is borla exhaust, other than that, it's completely stock. He had exhaust, short shifter, intake, all kinds of stuff. he thought my car was a v6 and wanted to race me. It freaked him out when i took off. he said the noise rattled his windows (i've shaved the z28 emblems off my car, it's a sleeper and as an added bonus, it's real quiet until it takes off, can barely hear it idling.)

Hey 97bowtie, what are your modding plans for the LS1? It must suck moving to an LS1 that is a lot slower than your old LT1. :(
