RE: LS1
If you have a heads and cam LS1 Camaro (or even just the cam) and you lose to a stock Cobra then you need to be put to sleep. A heads and cam LS1 should run at least low 11s; they can run 10s.

Im not going to make this seem like a big argument but come on 281 ci vs 346ci? How does a 347 stack up to a 346 b/c i know a guy who runs low 11s with a 347 and its a DD. As far as a semi stock 00 Trans Am vs. a stock 07 GT I got beat by about 2 cars length from a dig and a roll, but the problem was I launched at 2K rpms which after going to the track I have found out that I gain at least .3 seconds by launching at 4K rpms so if I would of known that then it would have been a little closer eh? Also my buddy in his 03 cobra STOCK ran a SS with full exhaust, cam, gears, and I believe intake and heads and walked him hard.
When i went to the track a t/a with a cam was running 13.3s and a SS making a **** load of noise was running 12.8s.
All im saying is that the driver makes a BIG diffrence.

RE: LS1
That's pretty high and he would have a hard time getting a loan for it. A fair price would be around $20-21k. The reality is that there is no reason to pay extra for a low mile car. There is no collector value and there is no factory warrenty. Find one with 20-40k on it and pay $12-15k

RE: LS1
He's not looking to buy one, we were just out looking at cars and he started drooling and screaming "Thats what I want, that's it.. AH!!!"
I just said, eh, awfully nice, but not for me ;-)

RE: LS1
Uh, yea.........I'd say that 26K is pretty high for a car that is already 5 years old. That wouldn't be too far away from what they were at MSRP brand new back in 02..........I think. Of course, seems like there's been a rebound demand for the 00-02 F-bods, particularly the T/A's, in the last couple of years. I'm guessing that's from lack of a continued production on GM's part. High demand in a localized area can lead to high asking prices. In late 06 I came across an 01 WS6 with 23K miles on it.............guy was asking 21K for it. That might have been fine except for the crushed front nose.[&:]
In some places its just a sellers market.

[quote]It takes a special person to run low 13's in a 400+rwhp car. I usually see those times with a terminator or a Supra, when you'd expect so much more.[quote]
having 400rwhp and only running low 13s kind of ghey? you should be able to half *** it off the line and punch it in 2nd gear and still run a high 12.
Oh well what i really wanted to know to clarify in one of my post (firehawk=ownage) is what year did they make firehawks? They made them in the LT1 and LS1 cars right?
