Sorry just being honest lol

Honest about you're inferiority complex? I don't see anyone stating the LS3 is a "crazy power house" over a L99. Some people do find it easier to light up the tires on a manual.

Nothing to do with have to "feel more manly". Not sure why you are talking trash.

I dont know if it was real, but I felt a difference after 1500 miles with a fuse pull and first oil change, it seemed like a new car after. Brake the tires loose with traction control ON, lol. Now I have an intake and its even easier.

Your tires have more traction with less miles on them too haha

Yep, excatly. I also have 4.10s. If I'm in thrid going 50 and mash the gas the car will go sideways.

The stock p-zeros are useless...especially below 60 degrees.

X2...305 DR's fixed that...stupid how poorly the pirellis hook up...even with a A6 and at highway speeds..

Do you have Racing stripes? If not that could be your problem..

Ummmmm, yeah it kinda does.... Why do you think people get Cold Air Intakes and/or tunes?

I mean, we're talking bolt-on power here. ~30 horsepower from bolt-on mods is pretty good.

And 30 horsepower for free just for skipping the higher priced automatic option? That's a pretty sweet deal if you ask me.... Heck if anything Chevy is paying me and giving me more horsepower to drive an LS3.
