First kill in the LS1

Recently, as you guys know i purchased my 2001 Camaro SS. I really haven't done **** to it, it has pretty much stock everything besides the air lid and the k&n. Although.. i have my complete borla setup in the mail right now :)

By the way..I went to a car show today.. and by the way, I GOT FIRST! In the Late Model GM / CHEVY car category, I really couldn't believe they chose my car over the 4 or 5 new vettes that were out there.. =).

We were pulling out, got to the first light, and this kid in this 00 Mustang GT throws a few revs at me, so i rev at him a few times, considering pretty much all you can hear is motor with my stock exhaust.

Anyways.. I'm pretty sure all he had done was intake and exhaust also. This is my first manual, so my launching still needs some work, he got me off the line but i caught up to him in all of about 2 seconds, smoked him all the way through first, and easily pulled about 1/2 cars in front of him in 2nd.

I really thought the 00-02 GT's had more power then that.. hmm I'm interested in seeing how bad of a beating I give them when i finish up some mods.. :P

Nice kill I want an LS1. Next car will be that, or a GThO. I've been waiting to catch a GT on the streets with my Buick to see how it will do against one. Have'nt had luck yet.

It doesn't sound like you got in third. That's where you'd really have laid into him...:eek:

caught up to traffic =(

'99-04 GT's have 260 horsepower. Your LS1 has a claimed 325, but really makes about 340-350. (Those are all in factory-stock condition.)

If he's mostly stock, you should be able to smoke pretty much any pre-'05 Mustang. '05 GT's will give you a good run, but you still have the advantage.

congrats on the first kill

The "driver" mod is as good as any!! :yes:

Regardless, good job!! :thumb:

Too true. On SVT performance there is a vid of a 01GT with a just a cai, beating a LS1 with longtubes, gears, and a pulley. :D

^ That guy should throw his car, or himself, off a cliff, because there is obviously something wrong with one, or both, of them.

Congrats on the car show victory! Those SS' are going to be more and more valuable as time goes on, I am not surprised at all that you won over Corvettes!

I've never raced a Mustang but everywhere I read, they just can't match up with an LS1 stock-for-stock that is. If you plan to build up your car like most of us here, you won't get much satisfaction unless there is a snake emblem on that 'stang. Leave the GT's to our 3.8 liter bretheren!

I bet half of their members have that video bookmarked. :lol:

The LS1 driver must've forgot he had a pedal :confused:

Nah, it is SVT performance. Most are Cobra owners of the 03 Variety, some LS1, etc.
They are in a different league some of them. Little more than a typical bolt on LS1. ;)

03 and up cobra's are pretty quick, but they aren't naturally aspirated.

so in a nutshell, the LS1 driver forgot he had a pedal.

if that GT driver can take an ls1 with a 4.6 , i dont want to see him driving an LS1. He could probably run enzos with it.

I'm sure the GT driver in that video is decent, but I think the LS1 driver is horrible. Either that or something was wrong with the car. Even a poorly driven LS1 should be able to pull on a GT.

maybe they actually raced a v6 f-body and just said it was an ls1

^ Or maybe that GT is really is running N/A... Nitrous Assisted, I mean ... heheh

i think brink explains it pretty well

Oh well win some, lose some. :D

I'm interested in seeing how bad of a beating I give them when i finish up some mods.. :P

If you need a GT to beat up on once you get those mods, I'm available ;) :D

1BadAzzGT ~ Just noticed the quote in your sig. AWESOME. AWESOME. AWESOME.

Take the blower off Cody's Vette, and he is just another spoiled rich kid, who was handed everything, that is on probation, with another weak vette.

Where is he anyway? Looks like he fell off the earth?

I think we scared him away lol ...

He needed flammed though after some of the stuff he said ... I mean come on, he's 19 and is telling me he makes more now working at HIS ( Dad's ) car dealership than any of us EVER will ... Ya ... OK.

You mean the Hertz rent a car right?

We all know there is no mustang (including yours) that can beat an LS1!!!! Funny stang owner!!!!;)

That's very true. The LS1 is unbeatable :bow:
