all that matters is the man with a lightly modified lt1 beat a ls1. I know alot of people are gonna question it but he did a good job and not all of them are that fast like others have said. that 12.9 1/4 mile time they said for the 02 SS was a factory freak. And people under estimate the lt1's power. from what i heard LT's on a LT1 make it pull much harder in the higher speeds.
So all i gotta say is
Great race man keep it up

 

I have seen plenty of LS1's run 14's at 100 and slower stock....but on the flip side, I have seen some screamers.

Your general assumption that X car is faster than Y car is wrong. Last time I checked people do not line up, whip out dyno sheets and decide who "would have" won....

 

And I'm not saying otherwise. But I'd bet those slow LS1s are auto 2.73 cars. I've seen some LT1s run 15s.

I'm not doubting the race in any way. I hate LS1s. But 50 hp is hard to make up on a roll race. No matter how slow the ls1 is.

 

He may not have had 2.73 gears but rather just been in one of the many dead spots for the trans... Auto from most rolls = :P

Good kill

 

Congrats!!!

Reminds me of when I used to race LT1's with the old L98 car.

 

I own both an LS1 six speed and LT1 six speed. I say that between my two cars, the LS1 will win everytime in a drag race, everything else being equal. When you start factoring in mods, driver differences and trans differences, anything can happen.

 

Nice Job! My car always seems to do well against LS1 cars at 50mph and up races on the highway.

 

From this quote it looks to me like the LS1 driver started in the wrong gear. Even the slowest LS1 will make it a decent race against a bolt-on LT1 from a roll (especially a heavy convertible).

 

Yep could be driver error but, he still lost.

 

I'm not disputing the win. It seems like some people think that this is what the typical result will be in a race like this. I'm just stating that it isn't.

 

You'd have to be pretty clueless to think anything but LS1>LT1>L98. That's not to say a stock LS1/A4/2.73 car can't lose to a stock LT1/M6/3.42 car. Ofcourse there are variables and naturally once mods come into play, everything goes out the window. Advancement in technology is a great thing. I do find it interesting that GM can still dominate utilizing the pushrod though.

 

Not if you use the ricer mentality of domination being that they make more power per liter. Cause that's a typical excuse for their loss.

 

And my typical reply would be...Don't bring a knife to a gun fight!!!

 

jesus! people still bitching about this thread.. Give it up...we all know LS1's suck and their owners have small *****'s....end of story.

 

Naperville, huh.....Nice!!!
