You never know what the other guy has. That's why anything can happen in a streetrace.

i still never noticed a strong difference between the 2 cars...my friend has a 1998 Z28 with a 2000 motor in it with a cam long tubes 4.10 gears through a 4 speed and from a 45 roll my LT1 6 speed walks his *** up and down...i would say i get about 1 to 1.5 cars on him...from a stop hes a freak and usually gets a good 2 or 3 car lengths but thats about it...i guess maybe my car has more than i know...Dyno trip in store i guess.

Your friend's car should beat you by about 10+ cars in the 1/4 and absolutely SMEAR you from a roll and go high 11s-low 12s @ 115-118mph. My LS1 car went nearly 117 mph in the 1/4 with a cam, longtubes, and 4.10s. Your car should go around 105-106 mph @ low 13s -- about as fast as a near stock LS1.

Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with your friends car or he can't drive at ALL. Using your friend's car as a gauge to measure LS1s is a terrible idea.

You probably raced an LS1 with exhaust and a CAI.

BULLSHTTT no way a cammed LS1 gets beat by a LT1, dude ur lying or ur boys Ls1 is running on 6 cylinders

i whipped LT1 camaros by 5 lengths all day with my z28 bone stock, and my T/A when all it had was a exhaust.

my buddy has a "360rwhp" Lt1 (supposably) Lt's ,heads, etc. and my cammed Ls1 still pullls him so hard its not funny

Not to toot my own horn, but I have raced a 2000+ Trans am ( funny front end big fricken hood) and it was neck and neck all the way through the quarter, of course I fall puttery short in third gear and he pulled on me a bit, but at fifth gear and quarter's end, his nose was at my door.
Racing that SS camaro I thought would be similar I hit third and he yanked on me so bad and put car lengths between us. Never saw such a thing in this car. I did not know those speed where possible.
So I am just wondering what is so dang special about the SS camaro. First one yet, and it left me looking really stupid.

Is everyone here completely retarded? My God this is some of the dumbest **** I have ever read in my life.

Why the HELL are you going to 5th in the 1/4, and trying to race people on the street in 5th and 6th?


He probably walked you like that because he actually knows how to drive.


And the LS1 vs LT1 **** is comical. Some of you lsx clowns need to pull your heads out of your asses and go do a little RESEARCH about what a good running LT1 is capable of. Not a lot of difference btw a good heads/cam LT and LS.

Stock, yes the LS runs better. It should for cryin out loud. Way better flowing 15 degree heads, better cam, better tuning / engine management better induction, shorty headers from the factory etc etc etc.

Damn, I feel dumber from just reading all this useless drivel.

Guys, you're forgetting that LS1's can't be beaten. I mean, there's no way a NATURALLY ASPIRATED 388 LT1 could run within .05 seconds in the quarter mile of a 383 NITROUS LS1 in the FINALS of the POWER ADDER CLASS at the LSX SHOOTOUT. Oh wait, that did happen.

What kind of gutted pos tuna can was that in?

How about 9.5's @ 142 in a FULL WEIGHT car.

ALL MOTOR

NO POWER ADDERS

PUMP GAS

LT1

What do you say to that BOY?

Oh, and what's the fastest T-56 6 speed F body in the world right now BOY?

Just in case you havent been out of the den of **** called lsx world to see, its an LT1.

Wanna know what the fastest BOLT ON ONLY LT1 is? Deep into the 11's

I could go on and on.

This and the post above it should suffice nicely though.


Truth is the LSX is an AWESOME platform, but it's people like you who give it a bad name.

Look. It's all good. We can talk about race-cars all day long, but the truth of the matter is that platform vs. platform, the LSX has more potential to the average person buying average parts. When you talk about averages, it takes an LT1 a level more than an LS1 to make the same power (cam vs bolt-ons, heads/cam vs cam, etc) --- we aren't talking about freak cars or high $$$$ builds with hours and hours of time invested.

FYI, the LS1 bolt-on record is around 10.80s and the cam-only record is in the 10.20s. The heads/cam record is around 9.80 @ 134ish.

I've also had both cars (a 396 stroker LT1 at that) and I feel that the LS1 is a superior platform by far.

That's fantastic. This was a 350" motor right? No? Nice try though. But anyway, the LSx platform has seen MUCH faster than that. NA LSx motors have pushed over 1000HP. LT1? Didn't think so...

Oh, and what's the fastest T-56 6 speed F body in the world right now BOY?
NOT an LT1. Taner has a long way to go, BOY.

That's stupendous!! You've got a full half second to go to run with the big boys.

I could go on and on.

Truth is the LSX is an AWESOME platform
Finally, some truth in your post!

but it's people like you who give it a bad name.
No. It's guys like me who point out the cold hard facts, and guys like you with a false sense of reality get all upset and start pointing fingers and name calling. I was a SBC guy long before I picked up my LS1 car.

Have a nice day, BOY!
