Thought there may be a few stories to enjoy from everyone. Most members on this site were already driving when the LS platform was introduced. Something sold you on building one up surely. Of course for some it will just happen to be a truck they bought.
For me. Two events sold me on a LS truck. First one was when I was a senior in high school and I had a 95 bolt-on Ram v8 Single cab. Being from a small town with very few people that race in it I thought it was pretty quick. Well a girl I was seeing at the time had a near new Silverado. This was around 02 and I believe the truck was a 01 with a 5.3 in it. Her parents would go down to the local strip with a mustang they raced and she always raced her truck. But me being cocky as the day is long thought my Dodge would hang with it. Well we took them out the to BFE where we keep a 1/4 marked off. (I think every town has one of those) And she smoked me so bad I believe she was hitting her brakes at the 1/4 mile when i was just about at the 1/8th. I knew right then... My truck was slow. Second was the first time I took my white truck out for a test drive. I had a little turbo import and my girlfriend and I were thinking the truck would be a slug in comparison.I was running around 45 and stobbed it and it broke loose and got a little side ways on the highway. From that moment the truck was bought and I havent looked back.
