Default Me vs an LT1 Vette

Well today I washed the truck and went for a drive. Found a bright blue LT1 (about a 94) vette playin catch up on hayden (45mph road). He comes around me as I look over and we catch the next light at Thomas. Take off kinda slow then we both nail and and all you can hear is tires screach and he shoots ahead by about a length. He caught traction 1st then I caught then kept him dead at about 1 1/4. Pulled to 80 and backed out. Not bad for traction issue and a car that weighs about half of me

drove by him at the next intersection (he caught the light) and gave him the thumbs up. He gave the deuce and kept up about 60 down hayden. Im pretty pleased so far

Cragar Soft 8's. 17x8 front and 17x9 rear.

Thank you some people like it some people hate it. Im gonna pick up some new tires in a couple months and get some narrower tires on the front (same height) and some taller fatter tires on the rear. and with an extra 2" drop on the front Im hopin it looks killer

also for some reason that picture makes my paint look really bro-tastic, my truck isnt flat, its actually still got a good shine to it. I wish I took the camera when I went out today instead of my cell camera

I have always like the way your truck looked with the steelies.I will probably setup my drag radials on rims like yours.
Btw the vette weighs bout 3600 depinding on driver.They also trap 103 to 104.Unless it was an lt4 they look like a regular lt1 but are a lot faster.Anyways your truck is movin for sure.

yeah, I think its probly going to equate out to like a 3/5 or a 3.5/5. I dont expect the springs to drop it the full 2 inches. But in theory, yes Jeff haha
tires will be 235/55 front and 285/60 rear
