if he squeezed between you and the car in front of you at 65mph, you were following too closely. /advocate ---

> [@05OrangeSS](#): > > Engine swap?? I’d be down for a run sometime(as long as ur not heavily modded i.e a BIG cam/built motor) I don’t have my 95 Z28 anymore, that got wrecked a few months back. I have a 98 SS now with pretty much all boltons except longtubes and ported TB, which are both being added over winter. Not expecting huge numbers, people on LS1tech with the same setups with M6 cars are going mid/high 12s and putting down around 340-350ish whp. Not sure what kind of power and numbers your expecting out of your car but if you think they’d be comparable, we can line them up come springtime. ---

I don’t think their bad at all. Low 14’s stock. It’s not super fast, but I agree with 05OrangeSS. ---

> [@IROC-Z](#): > > I don’t think their bad at all. Low 14’s stock. It’s not super fast, but I agree with 05OrangeSS. no. I have seen like 6 run at the track, and all were low 15s/high 14s. Theyre FWD and slow. Not too bad for a 17yr old. Something like an LSx powered car, or as we have all seen, an STi = bad for beginners. ---

My cousins ran a 14.3 bone stock. I did plenty of research before my cousin got his. ---
