Man those LS1's are FAST...
(some pics of his car we took in the winter)

Not much and I was suprised he kept up with me for what he's got. (chip and exhaust...) I thought I'd walk him no problem. But trans am's are fast cars... My other buddy has a 99 ss with exhaust, headers, mass air, and a short through... It is really fast. We've raced 4 times now. twice in the past and twice tonight... He beat me BOTH times we raced in the past. Whenever we'd race I could not catch up to him after a bad start and with his strong 2nd and 3rd gears it was over. I told him I wanted to race once more after I put the new upper on and he said sure... We raced twice last night. The first time, we tied. I have never tied b4 in a race. Either ya win, or lose... But it was wierd I kept pulling on him when he'd shift, then he'd pull, or we'd stay even... Then we both shut off between 100-110... So we agree to race again. 2nd time around I left at idle and kinda drove into it... I was easier on the throttle off the line so I got a better launch than he did so in the end I beat him by a few feet only... I was so excited to finally beat him after months and months of racing him and coming up short... Thanks, Shane |
congrats on the win :rocker: :thumbsup:

Nice win. With those mods, he should be at about 12.8 - 12.9 in the 1/4 assuming he can drive that M6. If he's dropping off noticeably during shifts, he's not shifting efficiently. The 2-3 even with a short throw shifter can be tricky.
Congrats! :beers: |

Yah LS1s are pretty cool and I've always wanted one. Even more easily moddable than a Lightning if you know what to do.

My wife and I were out to dinner in mine. We raced an LS1 Camaro from a light. I was looking for a kill all night and what do you know....the timing for the light was perfect. I took off easy to see if he wanted some. After he launched hard, it was on. I took him by about 15 car lengths by 70mph. I think he felt bad. :D

Seriously. 9 seconds? 10 seconds? I'd like to see some numbers or timeslips before I believe that. |
