Lady in the Night
What’s up guys I'm new to posting on here by I've been lurking for a while. I have a 1985 Firebird SE with a carb. 350 (swapped) and a couple nights ago my buddy and I were coming back from Wing Stop. I was strolling along doing a cool 40 when I hear a low but hearty rumble. Now, my car sounds pretty nice but is by no means as loud as what I heard. Suddenly I see a 4th gen Camaro pulling up on me, in a way that just said race me. I had no choice, I pushed the gas and to my surprise I left it behind by about two car lengths. At the light we meet up again, side by side, and what do I see? A pretty girl giving me the thumbs up. Nothing serious all fun.

Re: Lady in the Night
4th gen couldn't have had a cool rumble cause a bone stock ls1 with a monkey driving it would blow a stock 350's doors off

Re: Lady in the Night
Got a story like that too lol. when I first got my 350 going, I was driving around and had this mid 80s 'vette pull up next to me revving it's engine. great race, so when we get to the next light I roll down the window to chat with the guy for a sec. Well my jaw dropped when some pretty blonde bout the same age as me rolls down the vette windows. Chatted for a sec and took off again. Gotta love when women actually know how to drive. it's rare enough haha.

Re: Lady in the Night
Naw he saying that only ls1 could possibly have a cool rumble. No way a v6 could ever sound good lol. *sarcasm

Re: Lady in the Night
Hey man I never said a carbed 350 doesn't sound better. Just that a v6 can have a nice sound too lol

Re: Lady in the Night
PLenty of women out there that like cars and race.
Theres a 50 something yr old woman out here that has a worked over AMG Mer with a TT V12. She goes out of her way to pick off races and dusts pretty much everything she comes across.
She tried me from an 80 mph roll in my ZR1 I may as well thrown it in reverse.
That car was unreal
