Yeah, what Cape said.........it just isn't worth it! On the other hand................Na, it isn't worth it !!!!

 

Guess once a kid always a kid, that's why I am getting ready to spend about twice what I paid for car in mods.

 

 

So go with a 100 shot of nitrous and purge it right out the side gills. A Corvette on spray keeps the Ricers away

 

I must admit Wayne, I like your sense of humor. My thoughts exactly!

 

Now that's funny right there

 

I think I just found a new saying. I used to have my purge routed this way. The pipes were a pain to deal with and it cluttered up the engine compartment too much. It may also depend on where the solenoid is mounted. Mine is by the front radiator shroud. I now have one line straight to the windshield. It works just as good. Yes, I have had people want to race on the street until they heard pshhhhh. The last one was actually a later model C5. The way many of them react or change their attitude is hilarious.

 

Recently was out for a cruise when a sup'd up rice burner with a bad driver pulled in front of me going way too fast. Had to brake quickly. There's no way I was going to race but I did want to share my sentiments with him. There was plently of traffic in front of us so once I pulled along side of him I gave him the universal sign of displeasure. That's when the guy went psycho. Started screaming at the top of his lungs about vett's aren't s*it, he'll put his title on the line, calling me all kinds of names, wanted to race right away, etc. A real nut case. I laughed and the guy took off in front of me weaving around traffic. I've never experienced anything like that. This guy was CRAZY.

 

I have cut outs on mine and a 150 shot. I do the same thing everytime open the cutouts purge the nitrous and hold it at 2500rpm

 

Same and what really gets them is when they say something to my girlfriend in the passenger seat she looks at them and just laughs at them and says are you joking this is a Vette were on earth do you think you have a chance!?

 

I'm 19 with a 93 Vette and my insurance rate went down compared to my F-250 lol.

 

You know, this could be a thread all by itself... Two of my sons are driving now and I'm always stunned to see how little they or any of their friends know about cars. Back when I was in school, there were rows of Camaros, Mustangs, Chevelles, AMX's, etc in the school parking lot... everyone had a job in a gas station so they could use the lifts...and everybody lived for Friday and Saturday night at the local drag strip. Those days seem to be long gone. I am happy, however, to see a new breed of "Fast and Furious" vehicles out there. They're not made in the USA, but at least the interest in cars is there. Damn some of them for being so fast though!

 

I guess its all in how the kids grow up, I have a 19 yr. old daughter and a 19 yr. old son and they are both gearheads. She has a 1987 camaro with 427 4 speed and he has a 1988 camaro with 427 4 speed as well as a 1993 camaro. Needless to say the street in front of the house has a lot of rubbber on it. Its kinda funny watching my daughter fix her boy friends car. They both go to the drag strip, and run brackets, usually she beats her brother. ( just better driver) They have both ran my prostreet 65 vette, Its funnier than heck watching a 110 lb. blond just whoop on some of the boys and men at track.

 

I was working in the ER the other day and a guy came in that about 10 years ago he had been racing on the road. Well to his misjudgment he ended up in a wreck. Not only was his car damaged but so was his brain. Now he can hardly talk and move any of his limbs with any control. He has to take medications that keep him from flexing his arm muscles without control constantly. He has very little control of his facial muscles either. I think ill keep the racing in a controlled enviroment.

 

yep, thats what i do!!!! Just nod and smile boys!!!!! I usually go for my cruise on friday nights, and there is no shortage of the rice rockets riding on my a@@ or attempting to entice me into racing them. I just smile when I pull away from the light with my vette while they wind it out with there little megaphone muffler!!!

 

Happens here off and on My 87 is stock, but the 3" MAD true duals make it sound bad to the bone Step on it and the earth shakes

At idle, it just rumbles. I just sit there, look at them like they're a space alien, and drive off normally. although, if there's an officer around, I might be tempted to nod approvingly, rev it up a bit, and when the light changes nail the throttle....in neutral....always nice to blow the carbon out before driving by the officer and his new found friend

 

I live on the Texas Gulf Coast. I commute to my job from Port Aransas, Texas (on Mustand Island) to the Navy base in Corpus. I do this Monday thru Friday in my yellow LT4 (131,000 miles and growing). I am plagued with Uber Mega Trucks thinking that they are sports cars. I am constantly tailgated by these trucks. I think it hurts their ego that I drive a Corvette instead of another truck, how dare I not conform. I should shake in my boots at Hemi emblazoned across their hood. I just let them pass and usually get a good laugh when I see Corpus Christi's finest giving them a ticket. They just don't get it ... a yellow Corvette exactly doing the speed limit, there must be a reason and there is. My town is where the tourists go to spend their money. The adjoining towns of Aransas Pass and Corpus Christi set up speed traps as that is the only way they can tap into the tourist dollar. These knuckleheads just have to prove that they are faster than a Vette. I usually prove I am much smarter and they get to donate $$$ and get points and insurance problems.

My best laugh ws when a BMW driver revved his engine as he blew by me. 3 miles later I passed him on the shoulder getting a ticket. I just gave him the wave and the cop who knows me was smiling. I'm the best bait Corpus Christi has.
