Just a quick story i was in line at emissions in iLL. I was next in line my car was shaking the place over 1k hp. My blower is sticking out of my hood a little bit because i couldn't close the hood. Well i see the manager walking throws me i thought i was done. Not cats on car. He stopped in front of my car and was looking at the blower. He comes to the window and sayes. You better get that bearing fixed it sounds pretty bad.

I can't believe you free revved you car like that OMG that's abuse and she's gonna blow! All that free revving has damaged a bearing, you better get it fixed soon!

Seriously though, the car sounds great! I might have to use my Vette to clean my driveway from now on.
