f-bodys are stereotypically v8s....

[skorpion317]

i've noticed this...i almost never race against any ricers, they seem scared of my car. my theory is that they see "Camaro" and automatically think it's an 8-cylinder. The same thing happens with mustang GTs, i just had a modded 5.0 try to race me yesterday, but i wouldn't bite. anybody else notice this, or am i the only one?

[j_downey50]

everyone thinks my car is a v8 unless i tell them otherwise or unless they're into f-bodies. they always think mine is a trans am. i'll let them think whatever they want [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

[kamarozrule]

3 people askied me if mine was a Z or not. happens all the time.

Hell, yeah! I love that look they have when I tell them its a 6. I have won bets from people on the fact that my car has a six and not an eight. [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

i guess some people are to dumb to realize that if it doesn't have a z28 insignia its not a v8

there are quite a few that don't have the z28 emblems... the SS, or a 6 with a motor swap [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[maxcamaro]

well the ss has the ss emblem

[j_downey50]

you said if it doesn't have the z28 badges, it's not a v8 though [img]tongue.gif[/img]

i'm just giving you a hard time. i know what you mean. people think my car is a trans am all the time... then when i tell them it's a 6, they just say, "oh well it looks just like a trans am" and that's when i say, "yeah except for the front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts, hatch, and the hood if it's a WS6..." and that's when they give me a puzzled look lol.

Happens to me a lot. Usually the just won't race me. I think it's the dual exhaust. I've had people ask if it's a V8 before and other people back off when they see the duals.


(shouldn't this be in the lounge?)

[Georghino]

Same here. People think my car is a Trans Am becuase of the dual exhaust and the moldings around the car. Just happen last saturday at a local shop. [img]smile.gif[/img]

hmmm... maybe I need to get one next year instead of my supercharger and svx [img]graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

I've seen plenty of tools that remove their Z28 badges, pretty stupid if you ask me. You can tell by the sound of the exhaust though.

i killed the crap out of a mustang once, and pulled up to the next light, him grinnin ear to ear. He said good run, what do you have done to it? me: intake and exhaust. Him: well i did pretty good huh. Me: nah, i just have 6 bangers under the hood like you.

he never did believe me..
