Could've been (unless you know it was a LT1). 13.4 is about average for the LT4 (although I've seen a few high 12's). Do you remember the trap? Shoot, I saw this young dude trailor his Zr1 to Atlanta dragway, only to run back to back 13.6's@106. There seems to be so many variances between GM's cars it's silly.

I've seen two dyno 282 and 287 rwhp stock with a 6-speed on a dynojet SAE corrected. I've also seen one dyno 321 rwhp stock . They vary quite a bit.

 

I will run the car again, someday. It is 140 miles each way to the nearest sea level track. It is summer also, so the times would not be that great, right now.

You think you can cut a 2.0 60' time on the track I race on? I seriously doubt it. Concrete launch pad with lots of rubber and desert dust on it. It has waaaaaaaaaaaaaay less traction than the streets around here. I probably cut about a 2.0 here with the DRs and a hard launch, whereas street tired vehicles are cutting 2.4s or worse.

I think my car is in the same class as most bone stock LS1s in the 1/4 mile (e.t. not trap speeds), meaning I will win some and lose some. I know from a roll start most LS1s would beat me. So far I am 2 and 0, what does that tell you? I am willing to race ANY stock LS1 anytime on this track. I will keep racing them and keep reporting back. Send some my way if you want!

I bet a great driver could cut low 13s in my car as it sits, if bone stock ones have gone 13.6s.

 

And if you could spank me at my crappy (no traction) track, I would gladly shake your hand!

 

GMHTP ran a 13.4 at 102 in a bone stock '93 6M Formula.

 

Yes a strong running LS1 car should run me down in a hurry, I agree with you. I can't find a strong running stock one to run, though. I have driven and ridden in at least 10 stock LS1s, none of them had high miles or were ill maintained. They vary a lot, from absolute monsters to pretty weak. Gotta love GMs quality control.

 

On average you are right. But if a super freak LT1 runs a dog LS1 it is very close.

 

Yep you have to literally drive it like you hate it. I'm hoping to move up to 13's soon

 

Yes we should run them you bully

 

Holy **** when my 98 was bone stock I was running 14.2@98 (yes folks, stock to the damn paper filter/goodyear tires). Folks that have been around this board know I have been there, done that. If you drive the damn car like you hate it (yes I'm not afraid to break parts), then, you will achieve the best ET. I would also give plenty of mod'd LT1's a run for their money.

My experience, however, speaking truthfully was at the 1/4 mile track (when my car was N/A) I ran my buddies bone stock 99 T/A (LS1) and I would have him by 2/3 cars up to around the 1/8th mile and at the quarter mile he would be 2/3 cars ahead. Keep in mind we're talking stock vs stock. Then again, my turd only had 225hp (at the flywheel) and not the 260hp engine that ford decided to throw in these POS cars in 99+.

That's my $.04 .... I'll take $.02 back and now we have $.02

Cheerio!

 

Thank you.

 

More than on average is this a valid statement. It's true 90+% of the time. However, it does happen. My buddy's bone stock LT1 WS6 ran a 14.2 @ 99 and a guy he ran at the track in a stock LS1 auto SS ran a 13.9 @ 101. It was a close race. I never said it can't happen, but it's not the norm from the hundreds of times I have attended the track, street races, etc.

 

The thing (that holds true with most of what we have been discussing here) is, the conditions will make or break runs. If you run in negative DA, you will run 'freakish' times. If you run in the 115* AZ heat, with a 5000' DA you won't. Tracks vary, dynos vary. Nothing we are talking about here is concrete. I guess that's why it's been (and always is) such a long discussion. At least we managed to keep it civil this time.

 

the 1996 vettes were lt1s,although they had a limited edition grand sport for 1996 that came with the lt4

 

The 6 speed 1996 Corvettes were all LT4 cars.
