Racing a '99 LS1 TA tonight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-0pRsZN0ek



sorry for the terrible quality of the video haha. we started braking just after the video started.
he's stock and auto, i'm stock. we'll see what happens.

best kills for me so far:
'96 LT4 vette, 6speed, stock
'95 Z28, auto, intake, headers, full exhaust, valvesprings, panhard bar
'97 stang GT, ford lightning motor swap

oh and an auto '00 eclipse GT

all of those races i listed are from rolls AND digs.

no one wants to get in another thread about gods engine????? something is wrong here...

You have beat some fast cars for being stock minus a muffler. Though there is no reason the TA isn't in the 13's.

well i've got the video of me racing the Z28, and the gt should have been on there too but i couldn't get it to download. and the C4 is my friends uncles car. so a rerace that i can tape is unlikely.

i beat him in a 40 roll by .5-1.5 couldn't really tell. and he had me by about 3.5-4 in the 1/4 due to my clutch slipping AAAAAAALL the way through first. pissed me off. i'm not saying i would have won the dig, cause i wouldn't but it would have only been by about 1-2, not 4

i'm uploading the vid of the roll. unfortunately it was the very end when we started braking, but you can tell i'm ahead. and my friend got the dig on his camera, which i will be posting tomorrow, cause i'm not ashamed to post a loss

roll video up

wow this thread is dead for having an ls1 in it

x3, this whole production is lacking in quality, sorry dude.

People would be much more interested in this LS1 vs TC thread if it was done better. Next time, film the whole race from your passengers seat (get a buddy in your car), try to get a better camera if possible, and make sure the person taking the video knows what is expected (have the LS1 on your right and film him during the whole race). Good kill from the roll though man, sounds like it was pretty tight! No shame in losing in the 1/4 to it either.

i'm supercharged, not turbo. and yes, i'm sorry for the quality and short time of the vid. it was my friends girlfriend filming with her ******* digital camera. i even asked him and was like does she have a video camera? and i guess he thought the video feature of an actual camera is just as good.

For you to know what an AMX is shows your age, so you should know better; respect your elders! :-)

I think you can figure it out EX...

The LS1 should lay the smack down on a SS/SC cobalt stock. Roll, dig, him giving you 2 lengths. w/e it may be. Something was wrong with the TA.

Ok look at it this way. A supercharged stock cobalt cant even pull a stock srt-4 evo or sti from a roll. All of these cars are slower than a properly working ls1 from a roll. Havent you heard of LS1 top end? Its notorious for that. It takes a tuned ss t/c just to hang with or maybe roll a ls1 by 1 length. I have never heard of anyone in a stock ss/sc beat a properly working ls1 stock for stock. The numbers dont lie my man. Unless he mishifted (which he didnt because its an auto) there is just no way.

Not saying you didn't beat it, just that you deff shouldn't have if so. It should pull faster times than 03 -04 Cobras. 380hp 450ft-lbs in a lighter, solid axle, SN95.
