Well, today i finally got a chance to race with this guy with his blk t/a.

we raced like 4-5 times on the interstate.
the first time we started from 40 mph, which was great for me, cuz 40 is my sweet spot for 2nd. He had a lil traction problem but after that he caught up and passed me. he pulled a good 2-3 cars up to 115.
the 2nd time i started in 3rd gear about 60. we were even until i shifted to 4th and then he flew by.
man.. i got spanked. he beat me by 2-3 cars everytime we raced.

well i had fun
im pretty sure he was stock with a 6mt.

cheers

 

oh his car was a 2001 ls1.
i have about 4500 miles in my car rite now.
u guys should have seen the smirk on that guys face when he passed me

 

hmmm I dotn know you so, cant say for sure, but it may very well have been your shifting methods, cause they are a high 13second car stock, nothing that the Z shouldnt be able to hang with.... particularly from a roll.

 

Not exactly bud, they are mid to low 13 sec stock trap b/w 105 and 109, and will hand a Z its ***, especially from a roll...

 

have u ever raced one?
this guy ran a 13.3 @ 109.
if u think they r high 13 sec cars, tell me what r u smokin? i need some too.

 

if we would have gone faster im sure he would have pulled more.

now i need some mods.

 

U put up a good fight man...Get some juice under there, and smoke his *** next time...

 

Sorry pal, but your wrong. A very small handfull have seen 12.9 bone stock, while the average is 13.1 -13-6 @ 103-109 with decent to good drivers. Only crappy drivers will consistently see 13.9 - 14.3. The best chance for a Z to beat a LS1 is from a stop, because from a roll it only gets uglier.

The results in this race is exactly what I would expect from a properly driven LS1 vs a properly driven Z. No disrespect to the Z, but in straight line performance, the LS1 just has too many ponies.

Later

 

I love my Z but as I have said before, they are no match for any LS1. My 01 Z28 (not SS) ran 12.68 @ 109.9 MPH with a K&N and a Flowmaster Muffler only. Any Z owners in here, I would not bet on any races with an LS1 powered auto.

 

that's gota be the fastest L in the world with those mods...i will say ...12.9 is a small possibillity in an well driven LS1 ,but ,13.2-5 is more common... apples to apples i think we're talkin 105 to 101 average traps ,and so, from a roll advantage L... a drivers race from a stop to 80...yesterday i took down another unsupecting WS6...you should see how cocky they look just 9 seconds before they're giving you the thumbs up....

 

i dont need juice.
i need boost!

 

Evidently i need to conduct a driving class for some of my fellow LS1ers....these guys must not be able to drive for ****.

As for the original post....keep working with the mods....you'll get him.....sounds like good runs.

 

Let me guess..your a proud subscriber to MotorTrend? LMAO

No more comments needed.. Good for a laugh though..keep them comming.

 

Whats up Ares! This is Jason, Travis's (CLS) friend that you met at Commerce a couple of weeks ago) I heard about your wreck, but at least you got some rims out of it! Next time I am down in Athens, we can go from a roll to see how it goes

 

No def. not. I have seen LS1's with no mods do the same times. By the way, I traded the car in with 16K miles on it and the clutch was about done. I bought the car with the specific intent on running 12's stock, which it would have done, but I liked the sound of the Flowmaster. I pulled a 1.8 60' with that car when I ran that pass. The LS1 is fast. By the way, there are some 01 and 02 F Bodies with LS6 blocks as GM had a overflow of LS6 blocks when making them for the Vette so they stuck them in the F Bod. Stonger and more reliable, a lucky few will have them. About 10% of 01's and 25% of 02's. I will always wonder if I had one of these blocks. Also, as most people know, the 01 and up was faster than the 98-00 because of having the LS6 intake.

 

Heeeheeee Ive got one. Man what a pain it was to find out though. I had to buy one of those jointed mirrors and get under the car to reach up and look up at the engine, really sucked.

 

That time is with your stock tires, and no free mods??? I have to say if that is the case, you have the fastest stock LS1 F-body I have ever seen in all my years of following the car. Congrats.

 

I call BS on your 12.66 @ 119 bone stock.
