    Alright, this is kind of a funny kill story, although i don't know if you could consider it one, because my opponent was pathetic. Anyways, here's the story:Ok, today I was driving my car, because i always give it about a ten to 15 mile run each weekend in town, and sometimes on the highway, but today, i was driving in town. I was done with giving it a good drive and i was on my way home, when this 1992(?) chevy silverado, which was glossy black, had a big air blower coming out of the hood, with rumbly dual exhaust, tinted windows, and it had chevy stickers all over it, and he had "454 chevy power" painted on the doors. I went through the walmart parking lot to see it back out of a parking space, and as it's pulling out, I decide to quit staring at it and go on home. When i start to leave the lot he pulls up behind me and stays on my tail. When i hit the first stop light, I throw my car in neutral and rev it up a little to see what he would do. All he does is get a little closer. As he does, I pull up a little farther. When the light turns green, i take off like i normally do, and he decides to gain up on my tail again. I turn off on-to a one way road(concert st.) and he pulls up beside me and we get another red light. This time, i want to piss him off by trying to race him(and beat him at it). I put my tranny in low range(L2) and slug the accelerator halfway down, then put it back in drive and I hear his truck take off like a bat out of hell. I am about 7 or 8 car lengths ahead of him:3gears: when i slow down a little he tries to catch up and as he does i pull away from him again. Before we hit a stopsign, he turns off to the left and I asked myself,"what kind of V8 did he have in that truck!?!?!?!?", and still i wonder if he really had a 454 in it.:Do No: it sounded like a 454 and performed like a moped motor:laugh: If only he knew he got creamed by a non turbo 231 V6:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: How pathetic can you be?

    I gotta hand it to you man... that's a pretty funny story. I love creaming those guys who get brassy and think they can beat you in their flamboyantly done-up (only cosmetically, mind you... they don't think you know, and frankly i don't think they know that making your car look fast doesn't make it go fast :Dou: ) cars or trucks.

    As to Mr. 454, he probably went home crying to mommy :beer

    Lol:laugh: it was pretty funny though. It was all show and most certainly no go. looks are important for a vehicle, but if you want to go fast, you should really spend the couple grand on the engine, drivetrain, etc, than the looks.

    the 454ss trucks were nice, but pathetically slow. I's but my '94 350 up against a stock one any day. the heads were the issue. stick after market heads on them and you have a different truck.

    Only with a fart can and a "ricer" wing, then it might be considered one. But owther-wise, not really.
