5.7 should've bought a 6.0
Okay, here is a story that happened yesterday after a Brewers game. I was on my way home on the freeway and a guy and his buddies were in a 5.7 GTO and they are screwin with me like they wanna race. so we slow down to about 65 and we go, and he has a little lead on me until the boost kicked in
, and then I went right by him. The best part was, when he had the lead on me his friend in the passenger seat was flipping me off and laughing, but when i passed him, his jaw dropped and he got sad.
Well thats my story for the weekend. Hopefully you enjoyed it.

HEHE then you haven't encountered me yet..... I was racing a 2k4 z06 fri night... and if he didn't let off at 80 I probably woulda pulled up on him.... it was that close... didn't beat him but he was shocked I was right next to him.

I bumped mine up to 7400 (getting springs and cams soon) but so far no problems with it.. I only pull that high at the track though... I usually shift @7200, but on a data log run I hit 77-78 mph at the top of 2nd
hahahah i used to love picking on the 5.7L goats....But those damn 6.0's.........I still have nightmares from the way the last one molested me before my car broke. I had to file a police report the rape was so severe.

I know, I"ve been keeping these guys in check. ... but at least john is getting good now... even though I'm sure he'll wreck or get arrested soon... kid will run anything... I even got a chance to put these srt's in check...still haven;t lost to one yet... but the 50 trim dude still isn't running right so I think he may kill me... but I heard they take forever to spool, so I might be good on that.
