4th Gen Lt1....

So im driving along a few days ago and I hear a rumble on my side. I look over and its an early 4th gen trans am. I don't make much of it. Until I look over and see a blonde in the passenger seat looking over smiling along with the driver looking at me. Then he started pacing me around 45mph. So I put it in D instead of OD and my exhaust was lets just say a "tad" bit louder-lol.


So this goes on for a while until both cars in our lanes turned off, leaving us with a nice stretch of road. Both cars slowed down to turn off so we both slowed down to about 15-20 mph. As soon as they turned we both dropped the hammer (I was mad, wanted him at a light) show him some 350 TPI tOrQuE

Anyway I pull about a half car on him right away (Boy did I get excited ). Then he slowly started catching up to me. By about 70-80 (I think, I wasnt watchin the speedo, but it was around there) we were neck and neck and shutdown because of traffic ahead stopped at a red light. Even though I would have stopped anyway because I usually dont go higher then 65-70 if I race.


So Im pretty proud of the IROC :hail: If we would have kept going past 70-80 he would have won because he was slowly pulling on me. He had an A4 also. When I go WOT, I always watch my tac and not my speedo. I dunno why though

Nice race. It's pretty cool to be right with an lt1 with very minimal mods. Just watch out for the modded ones

Pffft what do you not remember??


Nintendo Wires = Horsepower!



I asked this before and kinda didnt understand.
IROCZTWENTYGR8 tried to explain but I still dont get it.


We raced through first and second. OD = 4th. So what would it matter if I was in D and he was In OD anyways.......? Because everyone says "Race in D not OD".

****, you're right. But you need Nintendo STICKERS to get the full advantage of the wires. I bet you forgot that part! Never worry about losing to an LT1 once you use the wires and stickers. If you could find a huge nintendo sticker to put on your windshield that would be ph4t y0. g90dgf98g9d80gd!
