WELL IT FINALLY HAPPENED TONIGHT ! :woohoo: I was at a redlight on a mile long stretch of (closed) road (in Mexico) and a white trailblazer SS pulled up next to me and rolled down his window and smirked and said nice whip man..." what are you pushing like 300 hp or does it just sound mean from your shitty loud exhaust ??? " me --> :nono: but I was polite and said "Nice SS man I like those a lot and nice rims (black gloss with some white accent...looked pretty cool) Wanna do the first one to the next light? to which he replied laughing "oh ok what ever you say inline 6" to which I became slightly agitated by his arrogance and felt like this inside ---> :hissyfit:. So I held the revs at 3500 and it started to spool up a bit as the light was about to change and then I punched it and after some slight wheel spin/chirping it was on! He had me by about a half a truck length until about 50 mph and then we were even and then the turbo began to spool big time pulling in second and 3rd with no lag and I had him by about a 2 or 3 truck lengths. At the red light I just looked over and he told me we had to go pull over so he can look at it he didnt believe it was an inline 6.

I told him about the site and he asked about my build and I checked out his mods and he became a lot nicer. Then we spent the next 2 hours doing shenanigans all over Erie county haha sooo much fun! we raced a pontiac supercharged v8 gxp and I topped my speedo out on that and just kept wanting more and had an absolute blast tonight!!!!

Made a friend and hopefully he will join up! :yes:

I think you misspelled the state in Mexico you were in. No biggie.


Edit: Keep the name. No point in starting fights! Keep the class you had on the road :thumbsup:

Yeah and I second the >8psi! Lol. Then tune the low end and get your launches down and game on! Sounds like you're having fun.

Thats awesome and about time. I figured you would take an SS by a couple car lengths! Thats what he gets for being so arrogant :yes:. SSKilrAutoX is a good one or LS2KilrAutoX or hell HEMIKilrAutoX, VTECKilrAutoX, NISMOKilrAutoX. Possibilities are endless with that monster.

Any plans to increase the boost beyond 8psi?

Finally watched your build summary video, very nice :thumbsup:

Not sure I would call you a sleeper with the exhaust, cooler up front, and future hood vents:wink:

At least the thing can run and is proven to shut others up! Wonder what story that guy is telling :rotfl:

Such a sweet sound. :thumbsup: Maybe if you get the camera behind the side mirror it may eliminate the wind noise.

Hahaha honestly its just a bandwagon that keeps growing. Theres a lot that i hate about the iphone like no flash or ability to choose your ringtone or download music from safari.
But it balances itself out where it lacks, the new one comes out in september with an A7 chip and fingerprint scanner :wootwoot:
But i'll wait till next year unless this one comes with a turbo or a saab :rotfl:

Sweet man, sounds like a great time! Tranny problems always suck. Hopefully it won't keep you off the road too long and if it does, get the interceptor going!


First and only girl to drive my ride turned into my wife. No regrets. Watch yourself. Your getting in tricky territory :rotfl:

I have been with my wife 7 years this December and still do not like her driving my TB :rotfl:

Maybe because that is the only thing that I can say is "mine" not "ours" :undecided:

The wife is not into racing, but based on her driving record and speeding tickets you would swear she is :rotfl:

After getting married I have no qualms in letting her call it her truck to others if she wants to. It is mine, ours hers whatever it is my DD and I drive us regardless of the car unless I chose otherwise, lol. I do give in if she really wants to. I also call her car mine. I need someone to keep another vehicle for me so that I do not "beat" on it every single day :rotfl:

Just be sure the day before you get hitched that you make a few things clear and in writing if necessary :thumbsup: :rotfl: :biggrin:

Like that guy who made his wife sign a prenup that said if she ever let the gas tank of any of their cars get below half without filling up the marriage is over
Or the one where they both agreed if either of them ever left a "floater" in the toilet without flushing... Its over

But honestly if i had a really sweet car i'd let the wife say its hers so that people think i have something insane hiding in the garage like a tank or something lol
