It has 3.42s also...
not if you do enought suspension work. it'll HOOK!!

seriously though, just about any car will chirp second and third if they powershift.

and why wouldn't a stock LT1 kill a mustang? i don't follow ford much. do they have some new badass i need to know about?

2nd gear is more of a slide and 3rd gear chirps, I once had a 4th gear chirp but i was so little that i could barely hear it. i never let off the throttle when i shift and just go with it. and i still have the stock shifter!!!!!!!!

That's a very good point. Don't buy an LT1 based on if it can, or cannot, chirp or roast 2nd.

I could get my 91 RS with a 305/5spd to get a healthy chirp on the 1-2, and a noticeable chirp on the 2-3 shift. I suppose how the car behaves is dependant on the driver, but on the 1-2 shift on an LT1 I think I could probably roast the tires on the 1-2 if I tried.

Re: Can a stock LT1 M6 spin or chirp 2nd gear?

My car is bone stock '97 Z/28 besides a hurst shifter and bfg g-force kdw's w/ 22k miles...They hook pretty damn good, (well enough that I can pretty much floor it in 1st at 5 mph and it pretty much hooks and goes), and when it's dry my car will absolutely not spin them in 2nd...A quick shift 1-2 will get a chirp and that's it, I got it to chirp 2-3 once but it was on a bumpy road so that's not really fair to say that... Now commin' around corners the rear end will step out no problem, lmao I'm sure if I had the stockers, (GSC's) it would light them up no problem in 2nd though

Re: Can a stock LT1 M6 spin or chirp 2nd gear?

mY CAR, semi-stock '96 Z28,M6 has never had a problem chirping the tires with the traction control turned off. WOT, dump the clutch, and I can get sideways pretty quick.

I live in Port Arthur Texas, I probably run out to Houston once or twice a month. In my limited exposure, late model GT Mustangs are a joke. I literally drive circles around them. Even left a Saleen Mustang @ 90mph, and again at 105mph.

I haven't seen any Cobras on I-10, but I'm looking.
