Welcome! Nice looking Cap. Just curious what you used as an intake mod?

Seen a few videos from your part where they are drifted like crazy. Is that what you do?

Thanks, I used VCM intake.
What I do is modifying the car then do some races in the drag and sometimes in the street but in a place far from cars and does not pose a danger to people's life. According to what you said (someone drifted like crazy) I don't care if a person doesn't care about his life, everywhere on earth there are good or bad people so, it's not my business

I didn't record by stopwatch or Dragy but I recorded some videos of acceleration and still not uploaded on youtube but I will upload some videos later on youtube. However, this old video of my caprice the modifications of my car was intake, headers, exhaust and ls9 cam vs Camaro f body swapped to ls2. Also, these some pictures when I participated in rolling race in N/A category and I finished in second place.

Glad to hear you take this seriously. Some of the videos out there from KSA makes you all look like nuts, crazy drifting and spinning at 240km/h with people just standing around.

How do your local authorities treat street racing? Do they tolerate it if it's done in a responsible manner? Here (Canada and US), it is pretty much prohibited.

I didn't take the issue seriously, but I wanted to clarify the issue the population of Saudi Arabia is 31M So, if 310K people drift like crazy, then these make up 1% of society. Also, if you saw some people doing that it's not mean all people in KSA like that. Moreover, Of course, street racing is not legal and there are financial penalty and police seizure of a car

Pretty much the same as here. Vehicle seizure, license suspension, heavy fines and, of course, insurance rates go way up or they outright drop you.

Welcome Waddah! It's nice to have someone on here that's in the Saudi scene, we have very little exposure to it here in the US. How's parts availability for your cars there, do you have a lot of inventory in salvage yards - where do you get your mod & second-hand parts?

Thanks
Eric

OP:

What headers do you have? Cars over in the Middle East market are LHD, correct?

Car sounds good, wild to see f-body wheels on the car :lol:
