XChris1632X Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I have recently had the chance to drive the shit out of one of the sweetest ls1s ive ever seen. it is my buddys fathers car. he got the car two years ago for a very good deal with 600 miles on in and had a lot less money invested then it was worth so he said what the hell ill send it to slp. it was originally supposed to get the $18,000 585 horse 426 package but something went wrong so they gave him the $25,000 427 package for the same price. yes i believe it is a lot of money but the whole car has 2500 miles on it not a scratch on it or a mark in the leather and it looks and sounds totally stock except for strut tower bar, headers, big brakes, and boyd smoothies now. ignition and everything look stock. yet i trounced it in third and blew the tires off. i believe it has drag radials. yet the sweetest thing was cruising in fifth gear at 55 you could jump on it and it pulled like your average 12 second car would pull in second gear. i cant stop thinking about it thought i would share. sorry so long. http://www.slponline.com/custcar.asp?ID=20030922-001&ST=5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XChris1632X Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 you know actually i would really like to bring it out one night, but im in PA right now finishing my last 2 1/2 months at wyotech. i will be back at the end of june. the other problem is that it is not mine and like i said the whole car has only 2500 miles on it so it doesnt get driven alot. but i can almost guarantee that we will make it out sometime this summer with it. i just dont know how he will be on wanting to really beat the shit out of it, especially because i would have to drive. he really just doesnt have experience and cant drive it. but all in all i would love to get it out there and line up with some certain people. i feel retarded talking about it and stuff though because its not mine. im not the kind of person who feels bad ass or they accomplished something by taking someone elses shit just to race and feel somewhat glorious about it.

XChris1632X Posted April 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 i just noticed after reading this again, in 90% of my post i ramble on horribly. maybe in the past 5 years the reason i never posted an excessive amount is because i suck at making sentences.

coty061885 Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 It's a pretty badass car. I like how much of a sleeper it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I dont know if I would really call a F-Body a sleeper. If that was stuffed in something a little less performance oriented, then = sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XChris1632X Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 yes but at the same time to those with cars a little more modded and to those fbody guys and the ones that seem to hunt fbodys(moostangs), they see a stock looking ss with wheels and no loud exhaust the though of spanking might wander through their mind. like i said before if you look under the hood i shit you not you will see a strut tower bars and headers and thats it. the coils look stock even. by the time the car makes it to the street you have already been thinking about the win. to me it was a definate sleeper being that stock z28 is like bottom level performance to me. just meaning that not a lot impresses me until youve reached stock fbody or mustang gt performance, if you get what i mean.

coty061885 Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 What I meant was that when you look at it you think, "That's a clean, stock Fbody." You can't know that there's a huge engine under the hood with twice the power as it had stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 car sounds like it would be a beast. need more pics of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l36tols1 Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 There is no such thing as a V-8 equipped F-Body being called a sleeper.. sleeper doesn't even belong in the same sentence.. The sound alone would give it away.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I agree, you cannot have a V8 sleeper due to how loud they are even when you first start to build one. If you can't hear it before you see it, then you have not spent enough money. Your friends father has a very nice car. I cannot believe how few miles are on it.
