The kid can drive no doubt about that iv seen him lay out some impressive track times in his old 04 GTO. He was bottom of third when we took off but still I didn't even have it in comp mood so I was not no lift shifting. This car has some ***** man I dunno where they are or in what form but ill take it. Ill do some searching on her and check all the sensors. The guy I bought it from was the original owner and he never mentioned anything about a possible tune or GM Stage 1. Ill get another roll against him from maybe a 45 to 120 with comp mode on this time lol. Get me some more mods this cars addicting already.

On a side note I just started working at the The Nissan Dealer off Dixie Hwy and 75 as a service adviser so if you guys need anything let me know.
Nice. BTW, you don't need to be in comp mode to NLS. Do you know any of the mechanics at the dealer that you trust? I need a couple minor things figured out with my car that I can't solve.

Let me know when you guys run again, I'll come out and hang out.

LS swapped FC RX7 would be fun, only seen a handfull of 240's around, and none with that swap yet. There is a nice white FC with a CF hood that comes to WW, I've met him at K2K before.

I wouldn't. I'd take an LS1 over those in a heartbeat. They probably weigh the same too. Not that I don't like the RB engines...

...one of my brothers has a 240 with an RB25DET...it's awesome, well, when it works.

Lol right, but gas is still crazy. Now a corn powered turbo Camaro would be win. I'm going to find me an LT1 SS eventually.

Ehh, it costs you a lil bit more to run the corn than gas. In order for it to be cheaper corn has to be like 1.30 a gallon less or more for it to be cheaper. :/

I'm still doing E in the balt, soon as I get the damn thing back. **** Moran Chevrolet..... They I guess never sent the insurance the estimate to be approved, they just up and ordered a motor and are supposedly working on the car. If that's true, I got a free motor and spare hydrolocked long block(Ported head build inc)

After my finals in the AM today I'll call them and be like WTF i want my ride nao!

Tell that to the boosted LS3's and LS2's that have seen my tail lights



Anyways, I haven't seen really any LS motors running on corn, they may not like it very much, but now I'm gonna do some snooping on LS forums to find out.

I never said they we're the fastest lol, but god I love the sound.

Moran has had my car for 2 weeks now, and the motor is still sitting out of the car. I guess they are waiting for a flywheel now, the stock one was damaged. State Farm told them to have it done by Monday at the very latest or they will not get paid. Let alone the 1k fine they are getting for a formal complaint, and being removed from the list of acceptable dealers State Farm uses for insurance work.

So 4 days into a motor swap for them and it's still not even in the car, I could have done this **** in my driveway in 2 days lol. Failures.

BTW, my car's no longer for sale. Big plans for the winter though

moran is awful. they had my dads truck over a week before working on it because they have a diesel mechanic, but share their equipment with their other dealership.
