LMFAO wow what a nite. My buddy calls me up after I get off work and tells me "Dude you won't believe it, John actually bought a GSX" this is funny because our friend John had been telling everyone about how he was getting a GSX for the past year (ever since i got my GST ;) ) and we never beleived him. Anyways, he got one. Its a '99 GSX 5-spd with a turbo timer,full exhaust system (it looked like 2.5"),test pipe, ACT 2100, MBC, this fancy smooth Intake w/K&N, Greddy S BOV (i think thats what its called, its purple) and 30k miles.Its kinda rice, its a like dark purple burgundy color, not the rare purple. with a white and grey decal on the side that looks like a paint splash, white center tailight peice (ghey) and stocker wheels. fairly rice looking. Got it for 13K. Anyways he is just learning stick so he let me drive it around most of the day. When i first launched from like 6k rpm it chirped the tires and knocked the wind out of me. Wasn't ready for that shit. It doesn't have anywhere near the top-end mine does (he was running like 20psi on pump gas and a stock fuel system, :rolleyes: i turned the bosst down a lil and it runs better now) but still is fast as hell. Anyways we are cruisin when we see the like ~1990 GTA Trans Am with temp tags weavin thru traffic. I pull up next to him and rev. He laughs, I ask 'what?! You wanna go?" and he laughs again saying "Dude I'll eat you whole. I hope you know this is a 350" i reply with "I hope you know this is a 122 with a decal" we meet up behind a Kauffmans store and line em up. He wants to put down some cash but we pretended to be scared and didn't. So his friend is the flagger, points at us and just as he raises his hands up the GTA takes off, Im like wtf and AWD launch the shit out of it and by top of 2nd im ahead by over 2 cars. He yells 'good race ******' and peels off.
Next race was against a LS1 trans am. Me and the boyz were chillen in front of a Wendy's @ like 11pm (My GST, the GSX, ;95 GT Stang, '97 'Lude SH, '00 v6 Firebird, '00 eXtreme, '89 Turbo Grand Prix) when a blue like '00 TA rolls thru the parking lot and revs his shit up as he passes. I didn't think anything of it till John was like "Dude race him in my car" i was just like :dunno: Sure. We catch up to the guy by a Giant Eagle and ask him if he wants to run he replies with a understandable "I only race on the track" so then I ask "O really? what track do you go to" he pauses and replies "Norwalk" hes obviously lying so i ask where its at and he doesn't know. I eventually convince him that I'm a stupid ricer and we go to a road behind the Giant Eagle (the road itself is like a 1/2 mile long) I tell him to beep 3 times and we'll go. He beeps 3 times and we completly walk him off the line. He gave up after like 1/16th mile because we got such a holeshot on him. (good thing he gave up he he he:D ) the look on his face as we rocketed by was priceless.

I need AWD.
:tree:

I know thats why I said that. Also, he is a new DSMer, his only past car was a '00 Mustang v6 and is just getting into cars, im filling him in on all the sweet info. I'm also the one that talked him out of buying a NT 300ZX and into getting a GSX or VR4

Nice kills, the guy in the LS1 TA must have been a goon not to keep going, it was probably "daddy's car".

There's just a wee little bit o difference between a '90 GTA and an LS1 Powered version. :eek:

That said, nice kills. :cool:

:eek: Man, that's a good price for a 99 with 30k miles. Was it damaged at all?
Not at all , its in mint condition, the kid he bought it off of was a complete ricer. He claimed it ran low 12's :rolleyes:

but the 03's are dyno'ing 300 easier, guess that ls6 intake is doing its job.
Buddy of mine with an '02 put down 310whp.

S'all gravy. No two GM cars are the same in that regard. :rolleyes:

whoa you smoking?? I lowest I have seen is 286.. thats the absolute lowest I have seen on a LS1 car. A vette actually.

And 03s? You miss the 2 and hit the 3? That must have been it..since 03s are like the tooth fairy. ;)

seen a few in the 270's, but not many.

mainly I see mid to high 280's from most, a decent amount in the 90's.

with a few freaks in the 3 teens.


i just used the 03 as an example
