What is his converter at? My friend has an 00 camaro ss and his converter is at 4000. But yeah you will lose most likely. If it didnt have a converter you can beat him from a dig. Alot of people give the LS1 too much credit. Dont get me wrong they are a great engine but the autos suck after 135mph. As well as my auto. But yeah you will lose no matter if its tuned or not. Sorry. They just start off with more HP than us. Almost 75 more.

Hey fellas,

My only buddy keeps running his mouth on how he would eat me in a race. Now I am not sure but i think i woiuld be him. I was wondering what your opinions are.

He has a 98 camaro Z28 with and intake, lower control arms, converter, cat back. and its an auto.

what do you think?
A stalled LS1 is hard to beat since he will get u off the line and also kill u up top. I just dont think u have enuf for him as he easily has a 12 sec car.

I forgot to add that it isnt tuned and when hes in third it really stretches out.
you could also forget to add that it has a ****ty interior and his car looks like a POS.. but hes still gonna beat u
Now, now, lets be nice. I like the SS's, but I hate the trans hump on the pass side. Back on topic... You would need head/cams/full exhaust and u could make it interesting.

[align=left]You'd be surprised just race him and see how it goes. I've got next some 99 annv. editions at lights and they haven't ate me up at all, I've actually won a few. So good luck.

hang it up, our cars look a lot nicer than a z28, but they have us beat under the hood.

Where are you getting that LS1 auto cars suck after 135 MPH? My buddies 00 was a beast up top, and most of the LS1 cars are, auto or stick. I have personally seen him simply lay waste to a full boltons 2v at 100+ mph several times in a row.

The autos should not be falling off at 135, espcially not if they have the 2.73 rear gear.
