Default Big blocks rule!

So how many of you show up at a cruise in and all the big block guys smirk at you? I went to a cruise in tonight. Stuck my Texas mile 202.2 mph 8 by 10 in the windshield. Guy came up telling me how fast his 9 sec nova was. We talked a little and I kept getting the smirk. I ask if he wanted to go for a ride. He said he would love to. After 1 third gear pull he said he had never been in a car that fast. Lol! My C5 has a forged LS3, APS kit with LG turbos. She put down 835 rwhp @16psi. Running it on race gas @ 18.5 psi tonight and she feels strong!!! We get back and he tells his buddy's how fast it is and they give him the smirk. Lol!! I haven't stoped laughing !!
