Vi este post en un foro de camaros, es tomado de otro foro de imports, lo pusieron ahi para hacer referencia...
I hate to say this guys, but my pride has been completely and permanently squashed. About six months ago, I bought my car, a sweet yellow S2000, only had 10k miles on it. Got it for 28k. I'd seen the cars on the street, and from what I had heard, thought them to be very fast. When I went to test drive the car, I fell in love. It was a smooth ride, a sporty look, and faster than anything I'd ever driven (first and only car before this was a '93 Corolla : ). So anyway, I've put some money into the car, nothing big. . . header, exhaust, CAI, just the basics. Anyway, I've never paid too much attention to domestics. So I'm on the street the other night when this black LS1 Trans Am pulls up beside me at a stoplight. I rev at him, he looks over and smiles and gives me a rev back. I've never liked the sound of V8s as much as an i4 with a good exhaust set-up, but I swear that car shook the street. We give it a go and I get a GREAT launch. I mean PERFECT. Strange thing happened, though. I got the jump off the line, but as I neared about 15 mph, he just started walking right by me. Absolutely raped me. As he goes by, I notice his license plate: it just says "HUNGRY1". Anyway, thought it might be better from a roll, so I follow him down the highway (4 lanes) and look over. Give it three honks and go (no traffic; it's late at night). Much to my surprise, he pulled me, almost worse than before (if that's possible). When I hit 100 he was probably ten lengths ahead. Anyway, I caught him at a gas station a couple miles up the road; turns out it's just a stock WS6 Trans am with some kind of exhaust, I think he called it "Loud mouth" or something. I had been a bit proud when I asked him how much he had into the car. He said 400 dollars worth of exhaust, and he only payed 16k for the thing!! : : : I've decided to sell my car and go get an LS1!! Sorry guys!
No lo voy a traducir todo, pero en resumen, el pobre tipo andaba bien contento con su honda s2000, sentia que jalaba durisimo, (Antes tenia un corola) Fue aplastado por un WS6 stock. y en la gasolineria mas adelante le pregunta..
-Que tando traes
-Nada, solo 400 usd por el catback y 16 mil usd por el carro. (WS6)
- no puede ser, yo gaste 28k solo por el carro (S2000), mas cai, catback, etc.
Total que lo anda vendiendo para comrpar un LS1 :D
