Default Got to drive Nitrovette's car!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is Damn!!!!! I think I broke my neck. Nitro always said his car runs like a raped ape and now I know what a raped ape feels like......He will definately pull some 1.5 60 foot times in the near future. I just can't wait til he puts in a stroker motor. Then I'll get to drive it again, right Nitro? :D I need some more mods!!! :lol:

Apeelin C5:

Thank you for the kind words my friend. It must be the addition of the recent VARARAM that really has my car cranking! :yesnod: To think, when you launched my beast and blasted past me at 80 mph the car actually had a loose spark plug wire at the time! :lol: :lol:

Hell, you should of seen how it was driving after John at Powerhouse spotted the elusive loose wire and and fixed it! :cheers: I do belileve it was you my friend who made the initial diagnosis, wasant it Jeff! :cheers:

ALL I can say is i have some serious competetion with the BLACK 02 Beauty of a Z06 of yours which just seems to be getting faster everytime i see you. Heck, if you get the LPE mangacharger i really will have to break out another credit card for my STROKER ENGINE! :yesnod:

Talk to you soon and i will call you when i go to the track b/c i think we are about do for a 1/4 mile rendezvous! :cool:

Nitrovette :smash:

The reason he is called Nitrovette is because he used to have a vette with nitrous of course. But, I think his vert will be NA if he has his way( But Nitrous would be that easy fix for the 10's my friend. ) Just let me know when your going to the track, I'm in. I need a head start though. :lol:
