(uhhh hmmm clearing throat) Welll.... I just happen to have a video... This was in my buddys 04 GT 5 speed. racing a 90 something LT1 Trans Am auto. They are both stock other than mufflers..
The guy yelling in the first video is the trans am driver... not sure why. We got him off the line pretty hard but then he pulled on us. http://s37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...cargtvslt1.flv
Here he just straight up beat us.:

Then I raced the t/a in my car.. I put about a length inbetween us but the farther we went the more he narrowed the gap.. I'll try to get that video soon..

I think ya got sandbagged. Was it a stick though? All the ones I raced were with the auto trans.

RE: BEATING A 97 SS?
first off the 97 ss was the lt4 i believe so that is a whole new animal. the lt4 made around 310 hp as much as a stock ls1 z28. u prob wont beat him stock, but it wont take too much to beat him all u will need are some 410's and some headers and maybe a plenum. but the plenum not so much. ur car is about 150-200 lbs lighter so it wont be that bad and the lt4 was not anything amazing they ran stock like a 13.8. so good luck.
