Obviously you've never driven an LS1 car.

I used to think my 350 95 tahoe was fast too, now everything has no ***** since my camaro was wrecked.

I currently want to test drive a GTO, when i get my own job I plan on buy it. What do you think I will think of the GTO if I think an escalade is fast? (too many thinks!)

Lol. Yea, after owning 2 GT's with bolt ons and riding in my friends ls1's, the truck is a turd. lol. And i have the RCSB with the 5.3 and a couple small mods. It would probably kill that crewcab. lol.

Im guessing you are like 16 huh. In my personal opinion you will kill yourself. Start out slow then work your way up. I started out with an 02 4 cylinder s-10. Now Im building a 418 nitrous fed monster lol and thats 4 yers later. You need to get some driving experience under your belt so you dont kill yourself.

I started driving when I was 13, my dad let me drive his 01 silverado he used to have, oh yeah, I used to floor that truck too, it had the 4.8 and was an x cab. I drive alot in the city and have driven on freeways up to 97 mph with my dad, he was sleepin so I , it wouldunt let me go more 97 mph, Why?, My dads new truck has a speedo that reads all the way to 120mph, does it also have a limit of around 97mph? I havent gotten a chance to try that one out.
