I was driving home from work two days ago and i saw guy flashing his brights behind me...so i slowed down and he pulled up next to me and motioned for me to take then next exit. So i thought what the hell. Me and Scott (the guy's name which i found out on the license plate) pulled into a Super America. I asked if i could see under his hood but he declined and so did I. Especially if he saw the "LPE" emblem on the engine i'm sure he wouldn't want to run. So we shook hands and decided to throw down 300 bucks each. So we pull onto 169 South and kind of do a "polish road block" so that we can get some room between us and the accord and some jeep in front of us. And then my girlfriend called....oh great....just as i look down to answer the phone he hits it! Not only is my adrenaline rushing but i'm pissed as well because he should at least give me a hint that he's gonna take off. He must've been packing some serious heat because by the time i looked up he was already two car lengths ahead, so punched it. Once we got up to about 125-130mph it was no contest i cruised by and i saw him quit when i was 3 car lengths ahead. Not only was it an awesome win....but i also got $300 bucks and gave him a little attitude at the gas station we stopped at...:smile:

I wish I had your job, then I'd get an M3 and do a ton of shit to it like you did to your Vette. Nice car.

But hey i'm not complaining (not to be rude or anything) i used to drive a 1988 lumina...haha...so i have somewhat of an idea what it's like to drive a beater...

You better be holding a sign in front of it with your login name on it, and then sitting in your car holding that sign also. There aren't to many people on here who will believe you. Nice race though.

:useless: Or atleast better pics. If you look in the top right corner of the second pic it looks like a gold car.. thats pretty much bullshit IMO. Looks like he took a pic of himself posing at one in a dealership, then took some more pictures at a car show of something he wanted? I fail to see hoe hes a "Vette Thug" Oh well.

Of a Z06, right? Or we'll have to change his screenname...

He's either in a dealership or at an Auto show...check out the little sign in the upper right hand corner...clearly a sticker with the EPA stuff.

Now, why would you put LS1 heads on an LS6?

Robs71Nova
10-05-2004, 10:31 PM
The funniest thing to me is its obviously two different cars. The one he is in is Red, but if you look at the picture below that (the one of the engine) the top right corner clearly shows the car as having a gold paintjob. Unless he got a 45k (in that range) car painted? Whatever, He's a liar.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I didnt think thy made any vert z06s only the c5 was available in vert, and wasnt the Lingenfelter a c5 also? I seem to remember reading in an old issue of car and driver putting the Lingenfelter vette up against 9 other supercars (this might have been another issue). It may have been a z06 modle that they tested but I cant seem to find the issue.

Uhh, the pictures he gave you of the engine where from the Lingenfilter site.

Man you guys are smart....i thought my cousin was bullshitting when he said that the guys on automotive forums would catch somebody if they faked a car...i pulled this over on most of the other car sites....even some corvette ones....and by the way the corvette is an LS1

it was obvious from you bieng in a convertable. my dad has a c5 vette, so i got some good knowledge on them.

too bad i didn't see this earlier cause i would have killed it first thread.

how old are you, 16?

and from what i know, you need to start over from scratch to change your name

Probably better that he start over anyway, and let no one know he was "VetteThug" because as it is, his reputation is shot.

Well, I can at least respect you coming out, and owning up.

Better than sitting there, arguing over nothing.

And yes, we have some good radar in here. If you can get one past us, then you desrve it. :)

I'll ask the admins about changing your name. What did you want?

10-06-2004, 01:00 AM
A few things gave it away. One someone who owned a 650hp corvette wouldn't name themselves "vettethug", his profile says he has a eclipse, and he's a student. Would of been cool if it really happened though....

I figured you were bullshitting, if i had a Lingenfelter Vette i would be out every night partying and racing.

You may as well never try to prove a point again on here cause no one is going to believe you.

Edit: They only made the Z06 in a notchback i believe
