i'm actually looking at getting myself an SS SC as a daily driver. my stang isn't going to be something i want to drive on the street every day anymore when i get it back. if i can't get a good deal on the SS SC, i'll just get an LS like my gf has.

I don't think there is one ounce of proof on this. I do believe a STG 2 Balt equipped with DR's may be able to produce a 13.5 but as of now, not one person on this forum has done this that I know of.

Regular GT's are one thing, an LS1 T/A is another. If you're actually beating LS1 T/A's (which I doubt), then you wouldn't need to add anything to beat a Mach 1.

And you've done what to that SS/SC? Raced from a roll or dig? Was the LS1 T/A actually racing or running without a few cylinders firing?

Are you one of the clueless who think that the Cobalt SS/SC is still stuck in the 14's when modified?

Oh, there's mods you could have done that would enable you to do it, but a stock SS/SC isn't going to like the outcome of racing an LS1 T/A that is actually racing. Now if the T/A driver decided not to downshift, I could see that possibly happening. LS1 F-Bodies are stout competition for my car, and stock SS/SC's are not.

EDIT: And you definitely aren't going to pull on one that is already ahead and racing you.

I do realize that. No, I don't think SS/SC's are stuck in the 14's once modified. That's precisely why I asked what had been done to hers. One modified to whatever degree is required to beat a car that averages low to mid 13's could certainly do it, but a stock SS/SC will not. She has no mods listed in her sig, so I assume hers is stock.

Perhaps you should head to an LS1 F-Body forum and post that kill. I'm not saying that an LS1 T/A is unbeatable or anything, but a stock SS/SC just isn't going to do it unless something is wrong with the T/A, the T/A isn't racing, or the T/A's driver just can't find his gears.

Believing those GM power ratings I see. LS1 F-Bodies (Camaro Z28, Camaro SS, Firebird Formula, T/A, and T/A WS6) all dyno in the same range. They all average low to mid 13's. A few stock ones have hit 12.9 when the stars were apparently aligned perfectly (never actually witnessed that one, but have read about it).

Now, all of this is moot if that was a stock LT1 T/A. I can see that possibly happening against an LT1 T/A, especially as you get into top end.

im not trying to argue with n e body on this.. but there is experience vs misconception of what the other vechicle is and just base fundamental knowledge... but i agree with you on this one..

pink.. normally i would have flamed you right now but i also know your a chick and given some of your statements your really not mechanically knowledgable at all and i dont hold it against you.. but you sound like a magazine racer truthfully.. that or you bf has no idea what cars are what.. i dont know him but i assume he knows what he is talking about ( i have known many a mechanic that were dipshits about cars)..

stock LsJ will not compete on any playing field with a stock LS1, dont care whos driving the lsj, so in that aspect ill go with this TA being an LT version, i have raced LT camaros and it is a very close race.. but LS is a totally different animal.. we are trying to help you here so if you go elsewhere you wont sound like a complete douche.. but what your pretty much saying right now is... hey... my car is stock and i beat the flagship car....an ls1 is an ls1.. camaro/ta/vette...

again.. not flaming.. just trying to get all the right info and set things straight to further knowledge here

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and chalk that one up to a clueless driver or something wrong with the car. My advice though would be to avoid gambling on your ability to beat LS1 F-Bodies with a stock SS/SC.

And I'll agree with this. I reached the same conclusion that you did. Had she made a statement like that on ls1.com, it'd be 30-page thread in an hour.

I'm not trashing the SS/SC, hell I've been considering buying one. I just know that in stock trim they are outclassed by LS1 F-Bodies and my car, yet those two are competitive with one another.

Like you, I could see this happening with an LT1 F-Body, especially as the race got into top end. Were you stock when you beat one?
