Come on WS6 LS1...give up so easy?
Coming home late the other night and a guy with a white LS1 WS6 is in front of me and I follow him for a good chunk. It was on the way home and the roads were a little damp so I expected nothing to happen.
So out of the blue he hits it about 70 mph and then I hit...I was not expecting it so I give chase and start pulling him down slowly.
Since he got the jump and I then start pulling him down, he is going to have problems with my Lightning from a even start.
So I pull up next to him and motion to slow down...slow down to 50 mph, we both hit it and I started pulling away pretty easy with him giving up after a few seconds...how lame?
Add another LS1 to my list of kills in my Lightning, even if the race was for a brief time.

Believe the L was axed for good after various tests and problems w/ the what was thought to be next generation one. Good Kill, if you running 12.6's though sounds like the LS1's you have encountered have been lightly modded.

Try it? My LS1 makes 480+ lb ft torque. It usually traps 120mph on stret tires.
I understand the issue.
Been there done that.
