2 V6's and 2 V8's? I'd rather have 1 V6 and 3 V8's.

I have seen a legit 9 second car on the street too, but he was just driving it around for show, and there was no doubt in my mind it was as he claimed, unless he spent all the money on safety stuff just to convince everyone of his claims.


Dude bring your ****ing money to stlouis and i will find you 9 second cars that HOOK and run on the street. You talk alot of **** for someone with no clue. Come and find out or stfu.

Really?

I guess things change, and you have better sources than I do.....

Should be interesting to see how this plays out.

You have not convinced one person in this thread that I am aware of that any of your claims are true, because they are likely not, so why do you bother constantly trying to back them up.

Sorry, I have to go. I have to go take out some c6 z06s that are driven by old men that don't get on it, so I can consider it a win.

I just roll patrolled a bolt on stage 2 srt-4 from a 60 punch. Something a near stock ls1 or stock ls2 gto would have problems with, if they can even beat it. But hey dick keep talking about my car like you are all knowing.


I have already been through this bull**** many times while i've owned this car. Its a freak no, one knows wtf was done to it, stock idle, stock rockers, no bottle, nothing besides headers and a cai... but yet it runs alot faster then it should. The other people that talked **** where all local and most found out pretty quick my claims on my car are pretty much right on. You on the other hand are a magizine racing moron, that thinks he knows what street racings like due to the fact he seen it in a few ****y movies once.

Are you still drawing track ET comparisons by street racing cars that have been to the track?

Just because you can do whatever against a car "frumroll" doesnt mean anything.

If you havent heard, near stock LS1's and LS2 GTO's are weak. We are all glad you have a 12-sec car with only a couple bolt ons. Hell a couple f-cars went 12.9 with nothing so get over yourself, your truck driver language, and let it die.

12's are slow.

You talk alot of **** for anybody.

9 second cars that are street driven are few and far between.

But im sure you just happened to find all of them.

I haven't been here for alittle while, so sorry for reviving this thread. However, I had to quote this for irony.

You being a liar makes me a magazine racing moron? I have seen a lot of sh*tty movies as well, what does that have to do with anything?

Why would I have to go all the way to St Louis to find out you have no idea what you are talking about? I also find that incorporating the use of "stfu" into an arguement is more detrimental than beneficial.

When did GM swing the other way on this decision? How many motors are they planning now?

Take this argument to PMs or email.

This isn't the place for what is in the last few posts. There won't be anymore warnings and it's not up for discussion, thanks.

Re: Will the 5th Gen V6 be quicker than the LT1?!?

'can' it be quicker, sure but who cares.

I am not worried.

My car runs consistant 13.3s @ a smidgen under 105 with literally headers and a cutout...and it's a 94'...auto. A car that most of you would just assume is slow and high mileage.


When I can spend $5k on it, and another few hundred in parts, why do I care if an odd looking V6 camaro is as fast or a bit slower than my car was when it was stock? (which almost no LT1s are anymore anyways)


And RussStang, I am going to strongly disagree with you. I have run a few tenths faster, and few tenths slower than Fbody LS1s with lids/ cutouts....

And yes, at the track....I have thousands of timeslips lol




PS- SS colbalts ARE NOT as fast as a decent running stock LT1....please

PSS- PLEASE show me a 350Z or G35 that runs low 13 with just exhaust

They probably found out that a 315HP middle of the road V6 was harder to design than they thought... so they could just average the two V6s...
