Raced an LS-1 Powered Chicken Truck!
 
Well, it was bound to happen. I lost a race tonight guys.

I had just gotten off work. I had some aggression built up inside me, so I thought what better way to blow it off before I got to my girlfriends house than to drive Hard.

I was flying down 401 at 85 MPH, when I noticed this smell. A nasty foul smell. Thats when up ahead I noticed a truck hauling a 53ft trailer. As I approached, I saw that it was a chicken truck.

To avoid the nasty smell and "Spray" (Yes, its genuinely nasty) I drop it into fourth (Now if I was in an LS-1, I could of just put it in 6th gear and already of been in another Time Zone) and floor it to pass when the light we were approaching turns red.

As the stench fills the cabin of my car, my muscle's tense (Probably because I was about to vomit), and sweat beads trickle of my brow. I looked over at the Rig pulling the Trailer and I saw the letters LS on the side.

Oh no...My legs began to tremble. But..Why? Surely it couldnt be a LS-1 powered Peter Built...Could it? I inspected the vehicle closer and could not tell if it was a WS-6 chicken Truck, or an SS Chicken truck. Either way, it couldnt be....

The chrome stacks gave off a unigue F-Bod Y-pipe sound..Maybe it was I thought to myself. Sure didnt sound like a Big diesel.

Doubt floated through my mind, Legs tremebled more as the light parralell to ours turned yellow. It was about to be the moment of truth.

GREEN GO GO GO GO...Popped into my mind. I tached the 4.6 and featherd the clutch. With little Wheel spin I hooked and took off.

I pulled hard though First, Hard. Gaining probably 15 car lengths (or one Chicken Truck Length), I hit second and noticed my lead started dwindling. I only pulled a few more lengths on Him.

Next thing I knew, I saw that Peter Built come Hauling up on me like nothing. All those thousand Chickens clucking away in furry as they passed me about made me deaf. (He had at least 1000 chicken Power plus on me...At least). Sounded just like a screamin F-body.

After he pulled a Truck Length on me the guy even further rubbed the defeat in by putting his Hazards on. I was humiliated, humbled, and sad. I began to weep. I pulled off my supernatural Driving Man cape and mask and threw them in the back seat.

At the next light between sobs, I asked the guy what he had. He motioned for me to pull over, so I did. We shot the breeze for a while and then he opened the hood.
There sat a Shiny LS-1. I couldnt believe it, it was a LS-1. He must of knew what I was going to ask next because he beat me to it. YEah, you had me bad in the first two gears, but when I drop kicked it into Third I took off after you! Everyone must be right...That LS-1 is just magical in third gear.

So yes, I got beat guys. I'm sorry to dissapoint you all. Especailly you Sedanman. Oh..He also showed me a time slip. It runs 12.8s at 148 MPH in the quarter. His 60 ft time was like 7 seconds, and his 8th was like 11 seconds. So that thing sure does have a hellacious top end.

GREAT STORY MADE MY MORNING BETTER..........LOL

sedanman 05-08-2002 10:42 AM

Atleast this one is a little more beleivable ;)

Mercury 05-08-2002 12:33 PM

BUt I forgot to ask him if those Times were with a trailer hooked up, or without.

Oh, he also said it was Third HIgh, not Third Low. :D

EZRIDN 05-08-2002 03:03 PM

ok.

Would you mind running some LS1s? I could post on LS1.com to guys who might be close to you.

polara7777 05-08-2002 04:19 PM

That was great thanks for the story Mercury! Made this slow afternoon a bit better.

Unit 5302 05-08-2002 06:44 PM

I'm calling BS on this one. Unless he had a CAI which magically adds 10mph to the trap speed of the average LS-1.

GONZO99TA 05-08-2002 09:57 PM

:D :)

mike_navigator 05-09-2002 07:52 PM

oh man
 
I hope i never run in to that truck man. Great story merc.

SLOW 97 05-13-2002 09:08 AM

What? You mean to tell me this story isn't true? You better watch out, now there are LS-6 powered Peterbilts. I got smoke by one. But he didn't have his trailer hooked up.:D

Mercury 02-10-2004 02:20 AM

Just had to bring this one back.
 
Yep, This is one of my personal favorites. I just had to bring it back to the top.

Now you can spin through 3 gears and still manage to reel in and pass a C5. The more things change the more they stay the same.

eh...

Mercury 02-10-2004 11:35 AM

Dark 5.0. What exactly is that supposed to mean...Plus. I didnt spin all through 3 gears. If one had read. It was a second gear roll with the C5, and second gear didnt get all that crazy on me.

If you believe me or not, it matters little. I have nothing to gain by lying. What would that do? That would be just plain pathetic, lying to strangers...for what????? To in some way, boost my ego, or feeling of self worth by lying about wins in races to a internet community????

I'm not that pathetic, or needing of attention, or acceptance. No offense to you all, but especially to people I have never scene, adn who are as far as I can tell.....Text on a freaking computer screen.

Dark_5.0 02-10-2004 02:38 PM

Whoa arent we touchy.

You used to say you beat LS1's when mildly modded. True or not it doesnt matter to me.

Now heavily modded you say you pull on C5's. True or not it doesnt matter to me.

I said the more things change the more they stay the same. I said that cause you have modded the hell out of your 4.6 and are still claiming to rape LS1's.

I dont doubt that what you say is true cause contrary to popular belief god himself did not create the LS1.

Oh well,

Let's just set that LS1 CST (Chicken **** Truck) up against Unit's '(87?) 5.0 to see how it really measures up. LOL. Good to hear from Unit and Merc. I've kinda missed both of'em. Now if we just had Mr 50 chiming in to correct for grammar, syntax, brevity, and content, we could be complete with the old farts. Nothing against Jim Sweeters, I always admired him as well as others mentioned.

Old, meaning long time MW'ers, LOL.

Nope, just Malboro Lights...Out of a Box. Yeah, I posted that a long while back when the whole LS-1 thing exploded....what...about a year or two ago. It was to poke fun, and mock, and to make light of everyone else's (And my own) fights and flames that had been shooting up all over the place.

sedanman 02-15-2004 09:02 PM

Oh, my he's back well atleast this time he should actually be able to hang with a stock LS1. Oh, and a couple of us want to know if you will ever take it to the track and or come to indy or florida?
