96 Lt1 Vs 00 Trans Am

Who do you think would win? He is all stock. My lt1 has what is listed below. We are both auto's. I have heard about some ls1's running 14.8 in the 1/4 mile.

Just because a crappy driver once got a 14.8 in an LS1, does not mean it is average, or will ever happen again. You will get utterly destroyed after going through a gear with him.

Re: 96 Lt1 Vs 00 Trans Am

he'd win I put down the numbers in my sig and i'm dead even with my friends 98 a4 ls1 Z still about 80 then he just starts pulling away. *his car was stock*

Considering that the 00+ normally make more power then the 98 and 99's Normally.. atleast.

They are rated at 305, but they have about 345. They are underrated big time. They run mid 13's stock all day. Trust me, he will blow your doors off. Your 2.73s are gonna make that situation worse.

Re: 96 Lt1 Vs 00 Trans Am

That would be a good race, very driver dependant, but he would most likely still pull you once it got past about 75 MPH...LS1s are just plain deadly up top. I'd still put my money on him after those mods. They dyno around 310-320 RWHP bone stock man; that's alot of ground for us LT1 guys to catch up with.

Re: 96 Lt1 Vs 00 Trans Am

If you do all that other stuff, and a cam, yes you should be able to win. You should really go over to LT1 tech and do some reading, I think you could learn alot. This kinda stuff is discussed all day long over there, power numbers, estimated times, etc.

Me? I've never ran in the 1/4 but with those 1/8 mile times it should be around a 13.8 range.

i would say with headers and 4.11's it would be a good race since that will gain you alot in the top end. but since its a a4 3.73's are normally suggested.

Pretty much what Jbird said. You'll need at least headers to compete with a LS1.

Re: 96 Lt1 Vs 00 Trans Am

I'm pretty sure 3.73s would to better on the top end than 4.11s but either would be a huge improvement on the crap 2.73s
