LS1 maros make lots of power on the top end... but their short game is lacking

I never raced a Camaro that I did not beat...

I never raced a Corvette that I did not beat....

Call it luck...call it bad drivers....but I had to race at least 20 Chevys....and never lost

I did get roasted by a few Mustangs though

I raced a Ferrari one time and won......and that is NO lie. I sometimes say to myself..."he must have been letting off"....butit is not that easy to let off against a screaming 5.0....and then lose at the end

I think most of the time it comes down to the better driver...

Certain cars are just built faster...but if the driver cannot handle it.....it is too bad.

Imagine that the better driver was in the faster car....it would be an absolute blowout

Holy breasts! Thanks for the replies, fellas...including the rantings. Well that makes sense then...they're top end cars. I figured as much, as it did seem like he was getting fiercer by the second when I let of. Nice to know I can run with them a bit around town though.

I agree to an extent. The LS1 makes peak torque a bit higher in the rpm range, however I find that when people say they don't launch well it's more due to them not being a drag radial or the fact that in the T56 trans first gear is very high (numericly low). The cars are tire burners with stock rubber, so getting a good launch can be tricky.

Sounds like your not racing any faster Camaros or Vettes, maybe there are not many in your area, but around were I live every other car that plays around on the street runs mid 12's or better.
