GOT ME ONE! I ran into a guy that had an SS at autozone he was talking bout his mods this and that and when I asked him what it ran he said 11.70.. i said ok and left lol.. I didnt want any part of that. I saw him going down the road later the following week so I said why not... I revved up to him and he purged his nitrous at me!.. im ahhh ok...11.70s must be on nitrous and on the drag radials he was running... So we ran motor for motor and I walked off and left him.. he said ok now I get to spray.. we didnt get to race for long becuase of traffic but we were side by side all way through 2nd and in part of third with him on the bottle... I feel a lot better about my car now.. its so damn quiet with the pipes back on it. Just did a dyno tune today and got 363rwhp and 358tq.... Im hoping they get more out of it. Its really funny cause it sounds stock going down the road.

Im from a small college town.. So there are occationally some faster cars that come everyonce in awhile. Anyway the other day there was a 96 camero that sounded pretty healthy in town. He pulled off into the local sound and performance shop. So i thought i would see what he had to say when i pulled up behind him.

Anyway i came up to him cause he had just popped his hood and was looking around.. He said he had done a few mods: cam exhaust etc. I was just joking around and asked if he was ready to race for titles.. He looks at me and goes Im not crazy, I was told that your car is one that i shouldn't mess with... hell he even knew how much hp i had? I had never met the kid before in my life. And im not the type to go around bragging, If someone ask i tell them thats it.

I was like WTF?

My head probably got twice as big because of this.

This happen to anybody else?

One more thing... Anybody feel like the racing gods hate them? Everytime i go cruizing around there is never any nice cars out. Now the second i get into a friends car there are all kinds of faster cars out... This happends to me ALL the TIME. It even happened to me in the country. Last week I got in my friends car and we pulled out of his driveway to have a fox go roaring by... I just sat there and shook my head in disbelief..

Sorry for the long thread...

I don't need the spray anymore im to the limits on my little ol 331 far as my block goes anyway... I tell you I haven't seen a camero yet around here that was worth my time.. Not saying that a camero is a bad car or anything just nobody has the money to make one go fast.. There are fast ones, but there are a very few that are daily drivers.. (either weekend warriors, or they are all out drag).

This is just like any other competition out there. There is always going to be a faster car out there. The question is how much did you pay to be that fast.. Its just like all the ricers out there. There are going to be some that would smoke my doors clean off, but to do so they have to have some serious money or resources to do so... I have roughly 16,000 in my car (which is a nice chunk of change don't get me wrong). That includes the price of the car, wheels, custom built engine (still have fully assy. stock one sitting around), supercharger, etc.

Dollar for dollar and C.I. for C.I. you can't really compete with a mustang. I say C.I. for C.I. because if you take the 351 which did come stock in some 94 mustangs and match it up with the chevy "350". ITs funny how the tables turn with the last handicap removed.

Don't get me wrong on the money issue too... Im talking more on an average. Yes there will be some guys out there that manage to put a hell of a motor together for really cheap and throw it in some car they got for little to nothing... But I haven't seen a camero as nice as my mustang with a brand new 560 hp (soon to be over 600 i hope with my new tuner) engine come even close dollar wise to what i have in mine yet.
