my buddy was driving down the freeway a couple days ago. this xtreme blazer pulled up and tried to race w/ him and they were already going 80mph. my buddy drives a 97 2dr sebring w/ some 4cyl engine mods like intake, headers, cat back exhaust, reprogrammed computer. why would an xtreme try to race a car? on the freeway? does he not think that his is shaped like a brick? aerodynamics has already beat him at 80 since the sebring cruises at that speed. well, anyways they were picking up speed and my buddy said the x gave out and makes engine noise at 120, while he still has more left and punches it up to 140.
he wanted me to put this on here to ask:
why do ppl that drive trucks and blazers like to get into races w/ cars on the freeway knowing the aerodynamis are against them.
also why does the x give out at 120 and start sounding like a knocking engine till he slows?
i don't know much about the xtremes. i do know this though. when they were still pretty new i had a friend that worked at the locate chevy house. one of his friends bought one, ordered it w/ a special paint job and all the dressings. he drove mine and said it felt like it had more power/torque than his. all i have done to mine is a tb space, k&n intake, and larger/shorter exhaust dumped from a flomaster.
P.S. i am not trying to flame or anything i am just asking some questions.
