well the fact that you are with a ls1 off the line gets me, even if he has enough power to make traction a problem he can still bog the **** out of it and should be able to destroy you, unless the guy couldnt drive

He must have been. My mods are in my sig and my parents 99 ws6 would most likely rip me a new one from a dig.

He was definitely playing with you. A ws6 should have left you from the get go. If you had stage two it just means he would have to give you a slightly smaller head start.

I took a WS6 from a dig the other day, but it was only by like half a car. I think it was mostly stock too.

The guy sure wasn't happy. He followed me through the u-turn and pulled next to me at the next light, yelled something I couldn't understand, and then burned out and did another u-turn.

Basically, if a tuned TC can barely take a mostly stock one from a dig, you're going to need some nice modding to pull it off on an SC. It sounds like you've got your launch down pretty well, so you're going to need more top end power to fend him off after that.

To those who don't know what a WS6 is:

It's the Trans-Am/Firebird Formula with the WS6 ram-air package (the big nostril hood). The one that is usually referred to is the one with the LS1 in it, that was built from 1998-2002, though WS6 existed on earlier generations of it.

He might've already known what WS6 was, and was just thanking me anyway or being sarcastic.

Sure thing. I've got some family there, so I'd say the odds of me being there sometime are high.

wow this kid always makes me LOL. Bika and i were dead even from a 40 roll i had a cutout and lid, he had 2,8 and meth. I wouldve beat him from a dig. There is no way in hell that if the guy knew how to drive in the least bit that you wouldve done any better stage 2 against a fully bolted ls1.
