This is a pic from a few years ago when I went home for my sister's wedding. The old man got out his '56 Vette, but the cautious fart won't let me drive it.

Well, that might work if I lived in the US and went home during the summers (the only time he takes it out). Unfortunately, driving in Japan has totally fvcked my skillz up. But I'll definitely have a talk to him next time I take the kids/wife to visit the grandparents!

That's funny ... I lived in a little town called Fusa Machi, about 20 mins from Shinjuku. Loved the hell out of Japan, but never had problems driving there. Even a vette would be considered a mid sized car there. Small cars and small roads. Just gotta watch out for the binjo ditches on the shoulders. Trains and cabs are easier to commute.

Ever feel like getting your hands on someone and causing massive damage and pain? Had my car parked at Home Depot, right next to a security camera and someone keyed, or knifed my spoiler from fender to fender. There are really stupid, braindead people in this world. Gawd I wish I would have caught them. $500.00 repair/repaint estimate, $500.00 deductible.

There is a guy in my hometown that has like a 90 something regular cab truck similar to yours and he has a procharger on his truck. Other than the whine of the procharger it is a total sleeper. He even has stock exhaust I think. But that truck has took down some pretty fast stangs and lt1's. Never me thought

The funny thing about the ls1's in vettes and f-body's is there are exactly the same. I have vin specs for ls1 engines for every model year and nothing internally is different from f-bodies and vettes within the same model year. According to my local gm dealier that sales lots of vettes and f-bodies when they were being built. Is that the exaust was a little more restrictive on base v-8 f-bodies but the computer tune was the same. so the power output should be very similar between cars.

[MuscleScience]

thats a damn shame, thats one of my favorite body styles for the vette.

whos blower kit do you have on the car?????

[MuscleScience]

I have the Procharger d1sc race surpentine kit I think the part number at the end of the kit is 212, but can remember for sure. I am running between 8 and 9lbs of boost. I have stock internals so I dont want much more until Im done with school and have more time and money of course. Pretty happy with the kit I did everthing myself, its time consuming. I didnt have a helper so it took we a couple of weekends but was fun and the power increase is amazing.

There're a couple of guys on here with pretty hot cars. Carguy posted a TA he's trying to trade and sounds like he has a pretty hot blown camaro. I'm like needmorestrength in that if GM comes out with the new camaro as it looks in concept, I'll definitely get one. Pretty sure they'll mess it up for production though. I've had several camaro's -- right now have a special order 02 SLP SS. 347ci/380hp set up for road courses. All aluminum LS-1, with alum. LS-6 heads and LS-6 oversized throttle body. This little motor hotter than big big blocks I've had. It's too high geared for dragging, but still does pretty good. It's supposed to have a top end of 184mph, but I've never had it there. Driving across Colorado last summer on a wide open stretch of split road had it up to 157 and it was still pulling. Backed off thinking of state troopers. Had just heard on the news then about the kid in Minnesota that was supposedly radared at over 200mph on his bike -- didn't want that. That night was driving across some high hills and around a curve there were two freaking huge cows in the middle of the road. One was laying in the road and the other was straddling the middle -- missed them, but the standing one not by much. Hate to think if I'd of hit one.

Man I love SS camaro's If my friends wouldnt have had a couple of camaro's between them I might have bought a SS instead of a WS6 thats a tought choice though cause they are both awesome cars.
After I got my blower on a couple of weeks ago I decided to break it in with a buddy. We live out in the country off a we maintained highway. We took it out and did a few high speed runs we have a sheriff deputy that lives down the road from us so that was in the back off my mind. I only pushed it to about 140 in 5th gear in under 14 secs, spinning the tires throught 4th gear and I have new sticky 285 rubbers on the rear.

I really like the new shelby but for 500 horses it has a very bad ET my car on radials right now is running 11.5 ish. the shelby isnt even touching 12.3. But yeah it is sweet looking. My mom is into mustangs and im trying to get her to buy one.

A stock 04 Snake is capable of 12.5 stock with a good driver, they can 11's with a simple pulley change and radials.

With all due respect Hoss, my 02 SS with a little 347ci could do that. I like mustangs, had a restored hi-po 64 1/2 convert, but never lost to one, including cobra's.

Stock motor you can make up to 15 pounds of boost if you like. You just need to make sure you tune it right and don’t detonate. Do you have any kind of intercooler on it?????? The best would be a nitrous injection cooling system. But there are not a lot of companies that make them. Then the runner up would be water injection with a boost retard ignition system.

Also what do you have for a fuel system. please dont say and FMU

No All LS1/ls6/ls2 procharger kits come with a intercooler kit. I have the twin 4.5 inch highflow kits specific to my kit. And hell no I didnt run the FMU system I have heard of way to many problems. I just dropped the fuel tank and put in a Holley Forced induction fuel pump. It was fairly easy and works great. Oh and im running 60 lbs injectors probable a little over kill but when i go to upgrade later they will be more than adequete for later projects. plus they were like 40 buck more than 42 lbs injectors. Kinda a no brainer

That is good. I like the nos cooler because i can set what temp i wont to run at. It works great for at the track. I program to run a iat of 0 degree. So no mater how hot or cold out it is the motore will alwas see 0.

The 60pispsi injectors are fun if you have your fuel psi set right. Some times they run rich and idle.

the real question is...who cant wait for 2008/09???






btw...110% envious of your t/a...i need to f'in graduate and get a job

Yeah I cant I will just be done with my Doctorate and billions in debt, But I always have money for a muscle car.

I got a GM card that earns 5% towards an new car. Put all my parts I bought for the TA on there. I would really like if they came out with a new Firebird. the concepts I have seen look awesome. The one thing I dont like about the new camaro is the damn grill and lights, it looks cheap. Plus if they are going to really put 20 + inch wheels like they say, the tires will be ungodly expensive. which doesnt bother me but it will other buyers.

[zimmy]

i got a 2002 ta... luf it but i killed it by driving it hard all the time :P Too fun not too. I got through 4 tires a year :P and i am DYING for the new camaro... i'm gonna buy that mug

[G-1000]

Next year i'm going to start building my car.

[ecivon]

The new camaro will be fine if they don't mess it up -- if it comes out at least equal to the concept that'd be great and I would definitely buy one, but I won't hold my breath with GM; they'll get squeamish.

No substitute for hp and torque -- $3 gas or not -- as the girls say, size definitely matters.

GM has no direction right now, they probable will puss out on it and metro it out like the mustang. They need to let the guys who redesigned the vette and cadillacs run the company because thats they only thing that they have going for them. There new trucks look like hell again so who knows with them.

Exactly musclescience ... I fully expect them to wuss out on the final design and or power options. Too bad if they do cause it is definitely a sweet looking car. I would jump on one with the biggest motor and have it prepped for killer road handling. Maybe they'd make another engineering compact with SLP, who knows though.

What the hell happened to Kansas?? Won't matter much they'll do okay and don't expect any team to go undefeated this year -- too many tough and talented squads out there. Micah Downs left though, that's actually good for Kansas, including Giles. Both are from here and we didn't recruit them -- prima donnas.

Oral Roberts is a good team but nobody outside the midwest really knows them. They are more know for there matchups with Wichita State from a few years ago but they also played a smart game and that one guy draining 7 three's didnt help. But thats what happens when teams play Kansas they have the games of their lives. Kansas is very young they have no seniors and now only 2 juniors with playing time. Yeah Micah Downs was a puss he needed to juice and put on like 50 lbs. When he left the players couldnt stop talking about how he was the worst team player ever. I guess he was basically ran out by the team. The rumor around lawrence was they voted to have him removed and went to the coach with it. Giles on the other hand was a bad loss I think. he was tall and very athletic and improved greatly from fresh to soph year.And he could block shots great. But with Shady Aurther down below they get giles type defense with an offensive weapon.

[zimmy]

seriously...why is it every time there's a thread about f-body's... mustang boys gotta come in and whore up the thread :P Seriously ... fact...mustang couldn't beat the ls1 with a stock engine so they tossed a supercharger in to help. Engine vs engine... they'd get owned....and even with the supercharger in the stang... it still entirely too competitive for a blown vs pure engine race.
