Lt1 vs C5

What up guys i am on my lunch break so i dont really have that much time to descirbe this in detail but here it goes....
On the way to work i get on my onramp and notice the orange glow from a vette.... like a minute later i notice hes in my blind spot and then he opens it up right by me....I was like "Ok, i'll try" and then i get behind him and we are both goin about 85 (im in 4th, ready for action) and i move out to an open lane and got next to him, well just as i pull next to him we both got on it, I pulled him like 1anda half - 2 cars instanly and hold it tll 115
I was so happy but he wanted another go, so from the same speed we both hit it again and same thing happened except we went to 145 and i was able to see him in my rear veiw mirror.
he drives by after we slow down and give me an "extatic" thumbs up, that was bad ***
I dont bs guys i know ill be called for it though, im guessin this guy was an auto but it couldnt have mattered THAT much right?

Re: Lt1 vs C5

When I had my slightly bolt on LS1 TA a stock C5 pulled me handily. Dont know how you did it in an LT1 bro.
By all rights he should have put 5 cars on you at 120+ mph.


Not calling BS because anything can happen on the street.

not always true. one member on here, spinner i think his name is, runs a 11.9 in a lt1. i wouldnt even think of talking trash to a someone like that. i have a ls1 but like many others on here are willing to admit defeat. lt1/ls1 owners alike do not like to admit defeat if we lose to a 4 cylinder like a srt-4. good kill

Re: Lt1 vs C5

He also said "anything can happen on the street" so it's possible the guy was toying with you, had a problem or something else you know? There really isn't much of a chance an LT1 car is going to touch a C5 though...not without a cam at least.

Re: Lt1 vs C5

Not sure what folks C5's and bolt on LT1's run in your area but from what I have seen C5's arent all that invincible. At the track I saw a catback and lid A4 LS1 Z/28 running 13.4's and stock A4 C5 running a bit slower 13.5's. Although I want to make it clear that I am aware many LS1 powered cars run much better times. A bolt on LT1 is fully capable of mid to low 13's time slips, with a few hanging out in the high to mid 12's with hard work. With his M6 being a bit better in the higher speeds than an Auto I wouldnt call BS at all. Even if the LS1 should be pulling harder up there. Of course this wasnt a 1/4 mile, but just for reference you know.

Good kill, dont worry, I get called for BS whenever I beat LS1's too

Re: Lt1 vs C5

Kataklysm : I thought the same thing, and it just happened, I raced and I was suprised with the results at first but i always thought i was capable.

Bersaglieri : Yea i knew that 1/4 stuff but ive heard so much of about how "LS1's are invinsible top end" well guess not
