Re: Show me your ratty hot rods!!!!

A good thing thing about the old truck is when you come out of wally world there is nothing parked on either side of you. When I got it running last fall I had to wait 3 days to get the exhaust fixed. In a 10 mile trip I was pulled over by two local city's, 1 state trooper, and a sheriff officer. So open headers gets alot of attention with a BBB. the local,s didnt really care just wanted to make sure it was insured, the state cop wrote me three warning violations, and the sheriff just wanted see engine. With the small 2.5 exhaust with X-pipe and magna flows its sounds alittle calm, but soon as you hit the go peddle people tend to get of the way. So far i have out ran a 2009 mustang, 2010 camero, and some type of porche car. I work at a gm dealer and the owner cant beleive the beater outran a new camero. And thats blowing the back right off for about 200ft from about 45mph. Next week I should have a posi unit and some slicks. It dynod at 533 hp/6100Rpm and 568 ft lbs/4350Rpm
