Default '00 Z28 A4 smokes 95 T/A M6 with bolt-ons

Ok so there is a guy at my school that always talks trash but he will never race me.. So today after school i was gettin gas and he pulls up a couple of pumps down.. I waited for him to fill up and when he pulled past me i got right on his bumper. Another kid from our school was in front of him in a nissan frontier. When the highway was clear we all pulled out, and the nissan got in the left lane and the T/A got in the right and floored it. He has edlebrock intake and tb, headers, cai, and glasspacks. Thats the mods i know from looking under his hood and under the car. My mods are in sig. As soon as i heard that lt1 start roaring i floored it and once we pasted the Nissan i got in the left lane and started pulling away from him and when i let off at 120 i looked in my rear view and he was a good 12-15 cars behind. I think he let off because he was too embarrased to face the facts. lol. This is my second kill, first was a 97 Mustang gt.... that race was a joke. lol.

Yeah our LS1's pull like mad on the highway, that's where you will always wreck an LT1 with simple bolt ons like that one...but be careful...from a dig (especially a modded LT1) those can be no joke. They have enough torque to rip up the pavement and can launch pretty hard. Good kill, i enjoyed the read!

it should have been closer than that like maybe 2 cars not 12 to 15 you dont have enough mods for that big of a kill either the lt1 ta was junk or needs the driver mod .

yes it was that many cars.. i know its hard to believe. i talked to him at school today and he said he missed 3rd, but still we were both in first gear when we pulled out and i started gainin lengths on him like crazy.. but i got on it from about a 30 roll which is where my car goes best.. i spun all the way to 60 and once it went to 2nd it barked the tires and my catless exhaust gave him lung cancer.. lol i know lt1's are beasts from a dig. we goin to the airport this weekend to line em up
