I hadda do it .. really!
« on: March 29, 2008, 02:45:39 AM »
I had Xtreme Motorsports in Tempe put some Billy Boat bullets on the Vette.

Ear Candy.

Loud is a direct function of the pedal on the right. .. Very Loud is all the way down.
(it sent chills when I wound her up a bit today .. oooo .. . aaaaaa ... I *like* the sound of a nice runnin V-8)

Now I need a reasonable cam (and kit) .. for the lumpy idle of course.
(altho . cruisin at 40 in 3rd it has a little bit of the rumble beginnin and sounds *great*)

Off the line .. oh man.
I have *missed* that sound.

I find myself chirpin the back tires a lot more :)

A mid-life Chrysler with loud pipes running past me always makes me think, "Wow, he's not that bald at all, AND MAN, is he cool! I also wonder where he went to High School so I could find his classmates on MySpace and say "Check out Greyeagle! He is the bomb!"

And I wish those pipes were louder as if we were all 16 again when I'm reading a book acting 40 in bed. You should put on glass paks or cherry bombs! Ear candy baby! VVVVVRRROOOOOM!

hey Eskimo, I drive a Taurus so watch what you say OK? 22 miles to the gallon, moon roof, 4 doors, cruise control- plus it's American Made.

Frankly guys that have fast cars are obviously making up for other...uh...shortcomings they have. Me? I'm so blessed I can ride a bus even.

No, guys who feel the need to comment on other packages are making up for shortcomings.

I drive a rusty gray 89 Volvo with faded paint, hail damage, leaks stuff and 175,000 miles.  I wish it got 22 mpg; maybe if I took off the studded snow tires and big padded roof rack…

My sunroof crank doesn’t work, but I can still slide the roof open and closed.  Of course it doesn’t seal and rail drips on my head.  My radio doesn’t work and once my bumper fell off.

Yes .. Diablo and I should 'hook up' some weekend for a car show or just a cruise and compare notes :)

What year is it?

Well .. ok . since you asked, I have some pix taken before I put the trash cans out the back :)

'98 Z-51 with a 3.15 gear (performance axle ratio for that year), automatic so I can bracket race,


gets 30mpg at 70mph, even 24 in city drivin,


goes hi 13's out here at Speedworld (alla mustang GT's are runnin high 14's out here ..altho an SRT-8 Magnum wagon ran a very cool high 12 against me durin time trials .. man that Hemi sounded good too :) (it wasnt stock) ..and there was a lil caged up Supra with a huge turbo stuffed under the hood goin 8's ..in the quarter.. parachute an all.


And for the crude remarks ..well .. I have to wonder if there's even any hair on their balls yet, because they sure don't 'sound' mature enough.

Anyone can drive a POS .. I choose not to.
