L or 98 Trans Am?

I'm always praising you L boys (and gals) to my buddy who has a 98 Trans Am with 5.7 engine. He claims a fully modded TA will whoop a similiarly modded L. Please tell me he's full o' shyte!

Denial is the first sign that you own a Trans-camaro.

the fact that your buddy even drives a Trans Am proves that he may have limited mental capacity. I mean, come on, this isn't the '70s. Smokey and the bandit hasn't had a sequel in quite some time.

J/K

But seriously, tell your buddy that my truck has only 4 modifications (one of which is a drop in air filter that a friend GAVE me). My mods not including my gifted air filter (normally around $50 bucks?) come to a grand total of $700. It took me EXACTLY two hours to install all of my mods onto my truck.

So for $700 bucks and two hours worth of my time, my truck runs LOW 12.70s at 106.9mph. I raced with the local F-body club at a recent Saturday test and tune, and all I've got to say is that your buddy must be dreaming.

tell him i'd be happy to race him anytime.



later,
chris

You can make a Honda Civic fast. Depends on what he has done. I would say a blown LS1 could take a modified L, but short of that he better have a fully modified Lingenfelter motor.
