I came home from skool for thanksgiving break and i decieded to throw on the street tires and take the LT1 for a small backroad ride... and wow i totally forgot how powerful this thing is... with cold 18inch wheels on i spun the tires at 25mph roll... i never remember it being that powerful.... but it was awesome!

cnt wait until the spring! January i plan on having the tranny shipped out to CPT for a pro race rebuild and when i have it reinstalled have them throw in a 3600 vig, a tranny cooler, and a tranny temp gauge... the new goal is 12's by the end of next season on bolt on's and stock gears

 

This post doesn't really belong here but thats awesome! I wanna hit 12's soon as well, good luck with your goal, its good to have goals trust me, don't just throw parts at your car, have a plan, which you have, good job, peace!

 

*sigh* this is making me miss my car so much more. this cold weather is so much fun to drive in! i can't wait to have it back on the road, and i'm hoping it will at least be close to the 12's when it does

 

I lost traction today stomping on it at 35 but i know that wouldn't happen on dry summer days. It was cool, but with the cold temperature and even though the roads are dry there is some moisture there along with other residue. I have a hard time getting good traction anywhere until spring.

 

yea it felt really good... i felt like a lil kid getting that nervous feeling after breakign the tires loose so unexpectedly... it was great...

and to the first poster..... 2,000+ posts under my belt... i think i know watsup over here at cz28.com

 

Lol, then you should know this is not a post for the LT1 engine forum. I'm sure your car has some power, but cold tires are not hard to break loose.

 

shoebox always have to rain down on my fun huh wtf man haha

well i guess i was proved wrong on that one... shoebox is the man

 

 

i have learned so much from shoebox, he is def the master... and rapes me in the anus when it comes to cz28.com knowledge and LT1 knowledge

 

If that is true, next time I'm headed east out of Oklahoma, I'm definitely not going through Arkansas on I-40 again!
