like I said the color of the car got me too noticed around here  
looking for something a little less visually “fast”

I had people dribbling invisiable basketballs everywhere I went with it even when I was going the speed limit

and the way I look at it stock vs stock going to a lt1 could be going backwards but fast is still fast no matter what body style its in

^ word. i keep thinking it’s a good idea, b/c i want another 4th gen f-bod.

but

if i do this… i’m going to get something nice. Low miles. Spend some $$ on it, or get nothing at all.

And no more fucking LT1s. If you take the plunge, bring some Cometic HGs, ARP rod bolts & a decent Opti.

ok im a bit confused… if its the stock transmission, (4l60e), and all he did is give it a “shift kit” Which firms up shifts and increases abuse, how in the hell is the damn thing supposed to be good for 500 horse??

Wow, if johnny runs 12.7 w/ 330 whp, I would hate to run “mid 12’s” if my car was making “450 hp”. That car is built with ricer math.

> set to handle over 500 hp. although I push around 450hp

> this car runs consistant mid 12 second quarter miles

You want a car that is less noticable. Well the Lt1 has a LOUD supercharger. Not sure how less noticable that would be.
