Re: The LT1 is a torque monster compared to the weak a** 4.6.

Gears will get you down the track quicker for sure, if thats your only interest, but you'll still be low on power and well within reach of lightly modded LT1's and especially LS1's to easily beat ya...I personally wouldnt want a 2v unless it was blown or some kind of FI, and that only gets you so far w/ a stock engine, all the Bolt ons might get you seeing low 13's if you improve your driving. Or you could go the same route Tim did, dump enough money into it to air condition he!! to get some decent numbers( his cars a monster now, but look what he went through to get it there). Id take pop's LT1 over, throw some bolt ons,stall,gears into it and be well in the 12's, sadly probably faster then alot of post 99 blown GT's run.

I know the LT1 and LS1 is a better speed platform than the 4.6 2v. I just can't stand the Z28 as a car, or I would have one. I love the motor, the trans, and the T-tops of the 4th gens. I hate everything else about them. Blown GTs with tires have run high 11s to low 12s before with no other mods. I'm hoping GM fixes a lot of the shortcomings of the Camaro with the 5th gen. If they do, I will buy one!

There are several "bolt-on" 2Vs in the 12's. The quickest is around 12.3 or so, if memory serves. That's within a few tenths of the quickest bolt-on LT1, though nowhere near what an LS1 can do.

Thumbs down Re: The LT1 is a torque monster compared to the weak a** 4.6.

Justify it however you'd like. The bottom line is you were trying to be an internet toughguy, from 2000 miles away from the person.
97Bowtie and I agree on a lot and disagree on a few things. All I said was that the LT1 had more torque till 3000 rpm and was more fun to drive around town because of it. It was an opinion.
Uh huh...and when others express a differing opinion, they are wrong because you are right. That how it works? When it doesn't work that way, you resort to petty insults and flames...afraid the internet persona you've so cleverly crafted is going to "take a hit" and you'll be left looking like a fool.
You've always been a big a**hole since I got here. Nothing has changed.
Quit your whining. You sound like a little b*tch. The fact that you are in constant disagreement with members on this board should be cause for self-reflection.
I have not run the car with these mods yet. I'll post times when I do.
You do that. And make sure you post some impressive 60fts., even if you don't have any. Doing otherwise would prove how full of sh*t you are...on many topics.
Just because you waste more money on your cars doesn't make you superior. It makes you a wreckless moron with money. Ever heard of investing for the future?
So if I have nice cars now, I'm not planning for my future? ROTFLMAO! You don't have a f*cking clue. I spend a very small percentage of my $$$ on cars.
If my car is a POS, so are your two Mustangs, idiot. They have the same underpinnnings and same sheetmetal on one. I know, because you bent over and paid too much for your Cobra and got 130 more horses than me, you are cool, right?
I got a whole lot more than just "130 more horses". Using that logic, a base model V6 Mustang can be compared to my Cobra, right? Same sheetmetal, same "underpinnings" (not really)...different drivetrain, interior, suspension, engine, trans, rear axle, brakes, wheels, body accents...I could continue if you'd like.
Answer, the dragstrip. Ever been there?
Yes...many, many times. And not some broke down, dirt-return-road, gravel pits sh*thole with no timing lights and a potholed shutdown area. Englishtown, Atco, Cecil County, Maryland International Raceway, 75/80 Dragway...they qualify. BTW...I usually get "timeslips" when I go, that seperates the facts from internet bullsh*t.
could buy a brand new Viper with cash if I wanted to.
Maybe, but you can't end a sentence with a preposition if you wish to remain grammatically correct. Soooo...you could buy that Viper with "cash", but instead bought a 4-year old GT with 45k miles from a lovely woman with two children? Sure.
Did I ever say I was the best short time cutter? No. I just said for all of Bobs bs he sure doesn't slip his clutch very well. You want a brownie button for your short times? I'm not impressing you, darn. It was my goal to impress middle aged cocky jerks.
Oh, I see...turn it around on Bob and I. You talked sh*t about his short times, then when called out to show something better, you adopt the "I-never-said-I-could-do-better" argument. What's next? "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?" It worked so well in the playground when you were six, maybe it'll pass the test here.
I don't need a brownie button, because I'm not the one on CamaroZ28.com talking sh*t about beating F-bodies...you are.
Believe me, nobody on this board is impressed with you. That fact is clearly evident in the responses seen in this, and many other threads.

Re: The LT1 is a torque monster compared to the weak a** 4.6.

SteveY, everything snorman and Bob are sayin is fact, Im far from knowing everything but they do speak fact. Im also surprised Bob is replyin to you, some of the topics are idiotic and way out in left field, and Ive yet to see him be an a$$hole to anyone on this board even when pushed..They've both piloted 11 second cars to my knowledge maybe even faster ones, and one of the guys is a sponcered racer. Snorman proved his driving when he raced Hoss the other night in TR. Who are we gonna believe the guy that hasnt broken 13's or these guys.These arent the 2 guys you wanna argue racing w/. This might be the pot calling the kettle black but your starting to look bad.

One of the biggest dumbasses on the site calling me names, that really hurts.

Whats really funny is for how long you've been here you still haven't figured out that you post KILL STORIES in the KILL STORY section. You start these retarted threads that have nothing to do with this section and it makes you look like even a bigger moron.

Re: The LT1 is a torque monster compared to the weak a** 4.6.

Well bob,I hope the 4.6 modular does not have more low-end than my lt1 considering its giving up 1.1liters of displacement.I was comparing two engines with similiar displacement(lt1&ls1),and trying to figure out why a car that has ten or less years of technology,has a shorter stroke,and I believe is slightly heavier makes more low end than the phenominal ls1.Oh,so its probably in the difference of camshaft specs,intake runner length,and head volume.Well all those technology advances did not do as much for the ls1 as we thought.Maybe the ls1 intake/head combo is not as great and legendary as what some people say it is considering the lt1 heads and intake flow better between 0-3000rpms.

Bob already made it clear about tq helping you go fast. A duramax truck is going to have WAY more tq than an LT1 but which is faster?

Ignorance reigns supreme - especially the last sentence. Go take a class on basic automotive engineering and then get back to us, Jr.

While you're at it, do some research to try and prove how the advent of the LS1 helped kill the F-body, and how GM could have possible saved they F-body, had they of just kept the LT1.

And finally, tell us about all those LS1's you whoop. You know - everything is possible on the internet. Steve Y can buy $80K Vipers with cash tomorrow on the internet - I don't see why you shouldn't slaughter 99% of the LS1s in the land?

At least from idle to 3000 rpm.

It's almost puzzling to me that somebody could say something so stupid.
"Between 0-3000rpms"...you're kidding...right?

And for the 50 millionth time in this post, the whole point of a message sails 50,000 ft over dumb dumb's head.
