Re: [MarcosManiacs] LM600 and hi-nose

2001-11-09 by RockStar30Cars@aol.com

Hello Jeff, I decided against the LM600 because it has a Chevy engine. Since 
the LM400 & LM500 have Rover drive train I'll take any of these. The fastest 
I have had one of my SD1's is 157MPH with a very healthy built 3.5 on the 
straight, I didn't build the engine and I paid $1500.00 for the car. 
Everything was dont to this car suspension reworked transmission low end 
speed was very slow. I didn't take names of the cars I races on the freeway. 
My speedometer only goes to 85 but I went by what the driver of the Porsche 
turbo told me. I know I shouldn't have been driving that fast but that car 
was like a disease. I was stopped only once for loud exhaust but I told the 
woman police officer its a V8 and her partner (a man) said nothing after she 
looked back at him. My friend Ken lives on Ocean Blvd. which is just off the 
Long Beach Grand Prix track and he could hear my car over a 1/4 mile from his 
building and when I get below his 17th floor apartment I announce myself with 
a couple of rev's. As I told I didn't build the engine and I finally went out 
due to the adjustable push rods (3) not being tight collapsed and the cam and 
lifters went. This email turned out a bit longer but the car was a blast!
