I wouldnt say I'm a great driver, just willing to take on a challenge thats all. I'm not afraid to take on the big bad LS-1, my friends used to think I was a fool for trying to pick races with LS-1's till they saw me beat one.

I must admit though, my stomach does get a little nervous when ever I pull up next to one.

If I'm not on top of my game, I'll get eatin up. There not forgiving cars to race against, you cant even think about a slow shift, missing a gear and trying to catch up.

Dont spin going into second, and third, dont shift before 5800, and dont be slack on the shifts and you'd be surprised how you'll do against them. I've only been driving a stick since september, my third race was against a FireBird, unsure of LT-1 or LS-1, but what ever it was, I ate him up in my car, then Tim C ate him up with his.

Question, when you all say Nice story, does that mean you all think I fabricate this stuff? I pretty much tell the truth straight up.
