Re: got killed!!!

ouch....yep....just the reason im goin ls1. I have beat a little supercharged mini cooper at ~100+. breather mods like the slp runners really do give a little bump on the top end for tpi motors. Not much but a little. The guy probably was just in the right gear at the right time which can make all the difference.

It is all stock with k&n air filters. 305 tpi 700r-4 2.73 limited slip rear 16 inch iroc rims and t-tops . i will only be driving it for a few more weeks because i am buying a 1999 grand prix gt 3800 4door silver with heated leather and sunroof with new yokohamas on it. getting it for $3000. not bad for a everyday driver while i am going to college and tearing down and rebuilding my iroc. cant wait to get started on it. i think that i am going to give it pretty much a complete resto. And new every thing except interior. 400 smallblock not sure on what trans or rearend gears yet but will be gunmetal grey with ss hood lowered 1 inch a.r.e 15x7 thorq thurst d in front and 15x9 or posssibly 10in the rear it will be righteous and kickass in my opinion

Re: got killed!!!

Gotta love the 305's. You did for being basically stock. Our cars hit that invisible wall at about 90mph. But, they can be waken up with a few mods. I know.
