Ok, I'll bite. What did you do to it for $300 that blows away an LT1 and PLEASE don't say nitrous because once the LT1 hits the button, you're back where you started from. Were these genuine mods? I don't mean to insult but to me nitrous is cheating. It's the same as an athlete taking drugs. Build it, don't chemically enhance it. :D :p: :p: ;)

I am going to wash my engine over spring break, of course the opti will be sitting high and dry on the workbench.
Bring it on Scorp :cheers: I've got an LT1 that'll show you a thing or two. It's stock, honest :blueangel:

Re: Hey Optispark guys, try this. (scorp508)
I love watching somebody with way too much money think their car is the king of the hill. Around here it's usually some punk in a Viper. Way too much power and way too little skill. It's good for getting 3.0 60's
I love the guys who try to stage with the rear wheels :lol:

Re: Hey Optispark guys, try this. (Nathan Plemons)
Nathan, that is just more evidence that it isn't how fast you can go, it's HOW you go fast that counts. I beat a C5 simply because with his traction control OFF he punched it and spun all the way up to the rev limiter and it was bye bye. I was way ahead by the time he got back into it. It was not quite a sweet victory, but it's still a mark in the "win" column. :yesnod:

I'd love to have seen the look in his face when you beat him.
He didn't stick around long enough for us to see. :)
