AHHH that poor LB9!!
This moron at school who I can beat in my grandpa's 01 Malibu has his POS 86 IROC Z28 with the peanut cammed LB9, peg leg and 2.77 gears....he was telling everyone he was running 14.9..so I fugured damn he would probably give me a run, well this guy who is actually honest and hangs out with him told me he runs a 15.6!!!!! LOL!!! Man thats sad, I mean I wondered why I could get next to him drop it in 1st and let off the gas and still beat him....well anyways....this other guy around town has a 5 Speed Iroc LB9 and I wanted to race him because I lost to him lat time due to nt going into third....well this time I catch him at a light and I notice him!!! hey man you wanna run...and I said lets do it...well waitin for the light and there is a cop on the right....so we look at eachother and he points to the next light...well we get to the next light and its and open road and has maybe 2 curves at the most....and we decide to go for it....I dont want to get beat out of the hole so I baby the throttle out of the hole...and I'm thinking...damn what if the tranny won't go into 3rd....by this time I am gettin nervous and decide just to do it!. I see the light go green and he eases the clutch out and then I hear tires screeching and I floor it at about 1500 and my tires spin all through first and then hook second....and I am half a car inthe lead...here comes second and I hit second and pulled a car....then I look at the tach and see 4900 RPM and I am waiting for the RPM's to go past 5100 so I can let off but guess what!!! The tranny went into third!!! I pulled about a fender more all the way til we let off at about 98 MPH.....WHOA YEAH!!!!! I pull up next to him at the end of the road where it splits off and cruise up to the light neck and neck.....he yells over and says...hey what did you do to it..and I said....last time I didn't go into third gear this time I did!!! and he said...damn man those GTA's are fast for being a 6 cylinder turbo!!! and I said whoa whoa whoa compadre..this is a 5.7L L98 Tuned Port! and he said no ****!!! and I said yea...the TTA is a Turbo 6 Cylinder...and the light turned green and we threw up the "duce" and we went our own ways.....AARON

Nice kill. I wonder if he is an optimal shifter. Is something wrong with your 700R4? You said something bout 'not going into third'.

as far as I know..
As far as I know about the 86 Auto LB9 that fat loser has,he has a Flowmaster muffler, and a B&M Shift Kit....and he runs 15.6!!!! thats pathetic!!!....the 89 LB9 5 Speed I found out today he has all the free mods including TB Bypass, Air Duct for Ram Air effect etc etc etc., Flowmaster Muffler, no A.I.R. stuff, Optima Red Top Battery, some aftermarket wires and supposed to have a " short shifter " as his buddy said....and he is putting on headers and a catback next......my mods are gettin the front end re aligned, headers and Flowmaster Muffler, along with my CAI that is coming along slowly ( hey, things always come up ), and remove the A.I.R. stuff....I was suppose to run in the1/4 Friday but it was drizzeling all day.....and yes my tranny doesn't like going into third sometimes....AARON
