Default First thoughts on the LT's. (VID)

I was running the FRPP Stingers + O/R X pipe for a few months and i really liked it. I got a deal on some jba's off this site and bought them. I had them installed today and picked the car up about 30 mins ago.

Right when i turned the car on, i was a bit disappointed... i expected it to be a lot louder. Anyway, as i proceed to rev it up... it sounded just about as loud as my o/r x and stingers, so once again i was disappointed. I revved it again and i noticed i was only revving to around 4k. That cheered me up a bit. Anyhow, i proceeded to go inside, pay the guys there $300 for the install (good deal IMO) and as i was leaving of course i went WOT.... and boy o boy... these things sound BEASTLY!!!! The car sounds like a mother fking true muscle car!!! I got on the highway and did a couple of 3rd and 4th gear pulls... JESUS!! I loveee the sound. Sadly, i had left work to pick the car up and i had to go back. I get off work in about 15 minutes and the drive home is going to be FUN. (20 miles all highway)


I do feel the car pulling harder. I didn't think i was going to notice anything... but i did. Going WOT is hella fun!!!

I told my dumbass little brother to hurry up because as i was turning around in that neighborhood some kid ran out and hopped in his porsche and gunned it. I thought we could run... anyhow, as my brother got in the car and buckeled up, the porsche was on my ***. We were at a complete stop. I gunned it to around 90 and he was too... he was atleast 2-3 cars behind me. Probably cuz i got the jump.. but whatever. Haha.
