hemi owner talking smack

[the_jester]

well i decided to go confront this last guy, since he does work for me, i went to the job site with the TBSS right when i knew he would be finishing up. and said lets go. but he just kept coming up with excuses. i told him he's the 3rd hemi guy to back down from a race with me in the SS and he said he wasnt backin down, so i said great then lets roll. he said nah, my back hurts right now and i dont want to be banging gears, i just laughed that he thinks his stock auto trans will bang gears. if he wanted to feel an auto bang gears he needs to ride in my silvy, when she hits second it will break loose and pick up 10mph. but anyway. one down dont know how many more to go. im glad i have the SS to pick up the slack while the silvy's down.

Dude, people are finally starting to take notice about those TBSS trucks. They are real sleepers. No one expects anything out of them, and then when they do get drug by an SUV, they think twice the next time... And I only know of a few that are NOT stock... GM Performance Baby!

Hemis blow.

i would rather have a 4.8 ls1 than a 5.7 hemi

I dont mean to jack the tread but since when is a 4.8 iron block engine considerd an ls1. An ls1 is an all aluminum 5.7 engine is it not? Or are we just slappin the ls1 name on all gm engines. Sorry if it sounds like I am being critical but I have seen many people do this in the past.

I agree they are not the same. only thing that makes them similar is that all the parts from an ls1 can fit on the LR4. which makes it like a little brother.
But when you say LR4 or LQ9 most people are like
if you say LS1 or its the same as an LS1 they get it. PLus there is such a thing as a 1.6l hemi. All that means is hemispherical form. Which if you have a double over head cam and spark plugs on top of the head, theoretically you could say you have a hemi. but i doubt many people know that. cause dodge trademarked the word somehow

[the_jester]

yeah, the TBSS was still draggin my silvy before the c/h. i think mostly because i cant drive for sh!t. but once i pull her out of the garage i'm gonna have the wife run me again. it kinda sucks havin your wife drag you down the road in her stock except for an CAI SUV.

reminds me of last week, when i raced an '08 superduty powerstroke..

it was late at night, going out to grab a bite to eat. powerstroke next to me kept revving at a stop light. i rev and a jeep behind me kept honking her horn and flashing her brights at me. i was like "what the hell lady?"

we race from the green and the lady is still behind us flashing and honking her horn. i pulled on the powerstroke pretty hard. then we stop and talk, and come to find out it was this guys wife honking and flashing her brights at us. she didn't care much for me at that point.. haha. i told her sorry and she didn't want much with me.


and jester, take that hemi on a ride he won't forget..

yes, the 4.8 is a member of the ls1 family. its a gen3 motor with parts that are interchangable with the camaro,t/a 5.3,6.0 etc. whats with the technicalness? the point is, the hemi might be a 5.7, but it is not a potent gen3 5.7. liter motor.
