My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.
Tool bag neighbor
I had just finished mowing the yard when I heard the familiar rumble of an Ls1-low and behold, my red neck neighbor's inbred friend or family or whatever just pulled into their driveway with a 98 ws6. Or as jim-bob called it..."a WS point 6"
So out of respect, I walk up an say "hey, nice car, i've got one in the garage!" he spits some chew, pops open a coors light and i get to take a good look at the poor thing. The whole inside is ratty and destroyed, smells of cigarettes and mildew. Appearantly he left hes tops off while drinking one night and the car filled up when a storm brewed. Now, any logical person would have called insurance and either got a new interior or new car. I didn't tell him that...I'm still being polite at this time. So he does the macho male thing like any of us LS1 owners does and starts braggin about what's done to it....
him: It's got Corvette gearing in it
me: really? I don't think that's possible, what with vettes having IRS rear ends and this is a solid axle.
him: no no, the tranny is upgraded to a vette trans and it's got SLP package of 400hp
me: <i'm so close to completely laughing in his face right now> Oh really? what exhaust does it have?
him: well, thats all after market, but its got headers i know!
me: <bends down, looks behind car, under the rear to see stock T/A (not ws6) exhaust and piping> "Oh, well i didn't hear your car much at all and I wonder why they would put headers on a stock car exhaust"
So he starts to tell me about how he bought it for dirt cheap, it has 35k, some "guy" did a ton of upgrades to make it "hang with corvettes" blah blah blah. I was so fed up with it I just said "ok, well you have a nice evening" and ran into the house.
OH! he even said "let me know anytime you want to line 'em up"
So i turn to you LS1 conscience...do I go embarass this poor man and see if his SLP brandished car lives up to his acclaimed 400hp?Last edited by third_shift|studios; 10-10-2009 at 02:34 PM.

Next time you start your car and you see him, give him a bit of a rev. Do you have a cam? If so scare him shitless.

It's not worth crashing your car into the ditch again.

Absolutely. Useless dirtbags that don't even know what they have and get suckered in to buying something it isn't do not deserve to drive such a fine piece of machinery.
Tell him you want to race for pink slips, that'll give you a back up motor, then embarrass his ass in front of his whole family, then post pix of his loss and your gain.

I would have had the sudden urge to crank mine up and pull it out to the drive way for a quick wash. Just to make him hear yours.

Made my stomach turn when you described the interior yuck.
I would not waste my time on that idiot, you know what you have is faster than him so just forget it.

I would walk away from the guy and pray to Gawd that I never run across him again. **Insert theme from deliverance here**
