Default The G7 Experience

Went to LGM today cuz I heard Lou fixed JW's car and was letting people take it out for a spin to see what the G5 package felt like. After a few burnouts and a little curb check (sorry about that front drivers wheel JW :D) I took her out and spanked a few ricers and edged out a stock '02 Cobra by a few inches. ;) The car feels pretty strong :p: J/K!!! I'm just messing with you JW. ;) I didn't touch it as it still has some Gremlins!!! Hehe! :D :D

Well back to my topic.... LGM had just finished a G7 package for a customer in VA. As I was about to leave, the car was ready for a "test" drive. Lou asked if i wanted to go for a ride to see how it felt. :eek: :eek: I'm not sure he ever got the car to hook up. :) Can't even describe the feeling of this thing. Push the pedal and it goes forward and you go backwards (into the seat). :D My C5 feels pretty wimpy right about now. :cry I dunno who's car it is but it's got some major cahunas under that hood now. :yesnod: I would of liked a longer ride but I think someone was calling 911 the minute we left the shop to report an insane driver on the road so we had to cut it real short. ;) I had a 460rwhp LT1 Z28 and it didn't quite move this fast. :nonod: I think the dyno session is tomorrow. :cheers:

Unfortunately driving fast cars is like smoking crack. After the first time you're addicted for life. :cheers:

:rolleyes: That's okay, I'll just take your wheels as a swap. :p: "Edged" out an '02 Cobra?? :rolleyes: My car on the lift is faster than a Cobra. :eek: :D I was trying to talk Lou into just putting that G-7 in my car instead, and tell that other guy to just wait a few more weeks. :lol: He didn't go for that. :nonod:

:lol: :cheers:

Yes, that is Kalvin's car. He wants me to drive it for a day or 2 to check it out, then it will go on the transporter and back to Va.
I plan on dynoing it this weekend. so it should be interesting.

JW ,
DO you let Roli talk to you like that??

Roli is getting the G5 cam first, then the sky is the limit. I think Roli and JW should get the G-7 and get it over with.

I think JW should just "get it over with", period.
