[Shotimes] Another Question on Swap/ Mods

[Jason Hartberger]

yeah, but if you have an LS6 (now LS7) in a different car (if it's in a 
Z06 obviously [most] people are gonna know what engine it is) and open 
the hood at a gas station, random people aren't gonna go "holy crap, 
that's an LS7!" and gawk at it for a little while and tell you all sorts 
of wild-ass stories they've heard about it ("I've heard that it's got 
nitrous straight from the factory!" is my favorite). :P

it's all in the snakes, man. The snakes are an icon....

"and who the hell precisely keeps it stocked with nitrous bottles?"
