This guy i see at work all the time rants and raves about being a "street racer". He's in his late 20's early 30's. I asked him what he ran. He proceeded to glorify his Z71 Chevy that was putting down 320hp to the wheels. I didn't want to make fun of him ( even though i should have ) so i asked him what/who he raced. "rice burners" he said...."little imports with big tips"... he went on (again) to tell me about smoking some guy in a ford v8 triton. I think this guy needs to race the right people...so if anyone's up for some fun here's the truck's description
Z71 Chevy XT All-Wheel Drive 454 with Headers Custom Y-Pipe Stock Muffler System (no glass paks or anything fancy) 2.25-2.50 exhaust (dual tips) Green on Silver Tinted Windows (with little stickers) Nothing flashy K&N Filter No lift kit,custom rims or anything just stock and he said something about his throttle body but whatever. 320 to the wheels have fun guys -------------------- it's not a dsm unless it's leaking something

I understand pride. I have more than most. Therefor I understand being proud of your ride. But IF you talk like it is said, you are in need of an education. I'm not saying you are not an experienced street racer, nor do I doubt you in any specific way. However, you do need to realize the performance potential of this particular type of car. I'll never say that you should fear a fart-canned Civic in your Z71, but a lot of DSMs will hand you your ass in a Vette. Been there, done that. Be proud, because without pride there is no drive to compete. But don't be closed-minded and ignorant. You'll just lose. I'm truly not trying to be negative or instigate, more like a heads-up.
Welcome to the site. You should check out some races sometime! You ever seen a daily driven import spin it's tires past 100mph? It's a good time. -------------------- 2009 Scion Tc
