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.

 

Ok just so you know a SS with cam heads exhaust and intake is capable of 500 rwhp plus the gears that would be a good race for a cobrapullied with boltons and would flat out murder a stock 03/04. I was at the track fri. night and a guy was running *** w/headers, cam, and dr's he ran 11.9. And as far as your race goes it might have been closer but what if he didn't get a clean launch either eh? That 347 must be stroked, geared stalled or something to be running those numbers. with weight reduction.

 

How about how the 346 only has one cam?Versus 4 in the DOHC Cobra's. Only 2V per head? Versus 4 in the Cobra's.

Depends on the 347. I know my carwould have ran 11's with $1500 threw at it...most of that was in thedragradials.

You can launch at 4k with a stock suspended GT and you actually hook? Amazing. And yes, it's pretty much a drivers race b/w the two cars, as mentioned. The LS1 should win, but doesn't a lot of the times.

Again, obviously a bad driver. I had a buddy here recently in a bolt-on LS1 run 9.0's at the local 1/8th track and trap nearly 90mph.....in a bolt-on car. I was mid 7's with the same trap speed. Driver driver driver.

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.

Nail, meet hammer.

 

I have a non tech question for some of you more LS1 car savy guys...

what are low low milage LS1 cars going for now days???

my gfs brother is in love with WS6's ... and we ran across a black '02 with 9K miles....

it was an auto and they wanted I believe 26K... is that high?

 

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

 

yea I would say thats pretty high.

 

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 ;-)

 

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.

 

And you're clueless. Not even worth the time to correct the BS you just posted. *Sigh* mom still dress you in the morning?

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?
