Anyone who pointlessly accelerates hard just as they drive pass you, with the purpose to show off, is an Epic fail.

Me and some mates where in town today riding 'street' on our mountain bikes hitting up random jumps and drops throughout the city. Anyway as we were waiting on the side of the road for another mate there was a hummer h2 approaching, just when he is about to pass us he floors it and accelerates hard past us, then has to hit the brakes for the speed hump just up the road.
Not long later, a ricer did the same thing.

Seriously you look like an idiot when you do this. And we don't think your cool because you did it.

Pretty sure there was some sarcasm involved with that question , as there is some humour in mine I have been in 2 x Ba's with chev transplants ( the pic above is one of them ask Pedro )and they sound much tuffer than anything Ford outs out , especially with cams....

imo, the LSI's don't sound particularly good for a v8, especially compared to Ford's 5.4. The Australian 5.0 Holden sounded sweet though.

Get rid of the silver mesh (what is it with people and that ugly ****?) and the eyelid-looking things on the headlights and that wouldn't look too bad.

Agreed. The LS1s sound awful. 5 litre up to the VT was nice and the Ford V8s sounded awesome up to AUIII.
