Post A Lesson Taught

As I’m traveling through town, some guy in an early 90’s Firebird is darting in an out of traffic and ends up on my bumper. I speed up a little bit (few mph) and get in the next lane over. He pulls up along side of me, looks, laughs and sped off. So I figure he wants to play. Let’s see, he’s probably got maybe a 305 or 350 cid; 200 plus Hp. I guess he figured I had the same, early 90’s heavy convertible; something over 200 hp; not. I probably would not have pursued it, but his cockiness irked me.

I stayed within striking distance and catch him at a red light at the edge of town. I’m one car length behind. When the light turns green, he takes off; a little blue smoke comes out his tail pipes. I followed him, waited for traffic to clear in the adjacent lane and pull along side while in second; slam it into third and bye bye. At this point, I’m several car lengths ahead and I get out of the gas and slow up to see the expression on his face. He’s just staring straight ahead with that stunned look on his face. Stomp! Not much to brag about, but I’m sure he think twice next time before playing around with a stock-looking convertible.

Sounds like he had it comming, I drive a T/A but would never pull up to anyone and laugh, even if it were a four cylinder, I had a guy in a IROC-Z do pretty much the same thing to me a few weeks back, I never start a race but this guy just kept agging me on, finally I gave in to temptation and blew his doors off, I finaly got out of it at around 120MPH, I could barely see the car he was so far behind me.

LS1JAY- 13.17 @ 106.49 w/ 2:73's!! Thats crazy. You gotta get some gears in that thing and then go piss some Vette owners off!
Thats awesome you run those times w/ only intake mods and a cat-back.

I can't imagine a LS1 w/ poted heads, cam, and full exhaust running with some steep gears!

Cool

Those LS1's come good stock, but also when you put higher flowing heads on them, the difference in performance gain won't be as great or at least seem as it is for us 5.0s. Those LS1's come about as good as they come out of the box!
