Ok first off I know this has nothing to do with a Camaro and for anyone that is upset with that sorry. I have been on this forum for a bit now trying to learn about the cars you guys drive because I am thinking about getting into the car scene. Anyway....here is a little something that happened to me yesterday that I think you guys would appreciate.

I am riding down the local interstate and in my mirrors I see a car flying up behind me. He gets along side of me and revs it up and gave me a nod. It was a new Lamborghini Gallerado. This thing was sick, sounded awesome. He then punched it and took off. Now never being one to back off I followed behind him for a bried second and showed him that he did not own the highway. We raced a couple of times with the same outcome. Now this car is in no way a slouch and for being stock it is one of the fastest cars I have ever raced. He would no problem eat a 600. After messing around for a bit he waved and turned off the highway.

That car was beautiful.

 

welcome to the site.

You dind't mention what you were driving, I'll asume a busa by your name. Good kill.

And when you DO buy an F-body, get a 2000-2002 LS-1 model, any one will do and should run solidly in the mid to low 12s with the basic bolt ons! With heads/cam and other more detailed mods you can expect to run alot faster, just depends on you....

again, welcome...

 

Welcome to the board and good kill man!

I would love to run across one of those on the street (preferably at a light )

Yeah the 2000-2002's have the LS6 intake and a little better flowing heads and exhaust...but if you find a good deal on a 98-99 go for it.

Hope ya find the one!

Peace

Hahaha I raced this man in his Yellow viper with my V6 3800 GT Camaro and he toasted my ***!

 

Awsome kill man, I know you have been looking for some good races. Keep it up, hope you have an f-bod soon.

2000's do not have the LS6 intake manifold, heads and exhaust did not change at all except for the manifolds and that was after '98 I believe.

 

Oh, I wasnt sure if the change occured in 2000 or 2001...

I read a comparison where they flowed a set of 98 heads and the 2002 ones they(2002) flowed ever so slightly more...maybe it was just due to the wear on them(98 being 4 years older, more carbon, etc...the 2002's were probably close to brand new)

But I am positive of the different exhaust manifolds, just thought it was 00+..mine are log style(99) and I think the 2001-2002s are tubular, right?

 

lol no, get a 98-99, save a couple grand... buy an intake for $330 and waste the 2000-2002 fbodies.

 

LOL What the hell happened to my post....

Just messing.

 

I did what birchman said...

I bought a 98-2000 because they are usually a lot cheaper than the 2001-2002's and with the saved money I have been buying crap left and right...mostly nit-pick stuff so far but Im getting there...

I dont regret it at all...besides if you are the better driver the LS6 intake wont even make a difference...

I found a 99 with 24K mi for $14000 and talk'em down to $11500

To me, thats awesome deal!

Hope you find one man...

BTW I found almost all the good deals on autotrader.com...which im willing to bet youve already checked out.

Check out the ones that are a couple grand more than your willing to pay and try to talk them down...sometime it works out...

on the other note...I wish I had a Gallardo...

Its funny how Lamborghini names their cars..

Gallardo: "Rooster"? I think
Murcielago: "Bat"
Diablo: duh, "Devil"

Pretty cool names though when said in Italian, but still unny nonetheless

The Camaro is named appropriately.... "Pal"
