l have been saying everyone on this web site but a moderator came out of nowhere and locked the thread.. l guess he couldnt handle the truth.. anyways..

l have been telling everyone..... LS1 is LS1.. any LS1 can beat any LS1. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A C5 with a 6-speed would pull a Vert' Trans Am with a A4 and 2.73's BUT, within reason, you are pretty right on.

A C5 coupe 6-speed will pull on any other LS1 vehicle...........stock for stock with equal drivers.....

im no expert on the LS1. . .

but i did watch a Horsepower TV show where they discribed the power differences in the Z28 and SS, and the transam and WS6,

what it said was that SLP added a different air intake and the exhaust was slightly different. . .

is this correct? is this the reason for more PAWR?? I have personally thought the SS's were faster than the Z28's for as long as i can remember.

Ever since I saw this show, this has been my conseption.

The intake and exhaust really did not add much HP, at least not enough that I would call an SS faster than Z/28. I put these cars on dynos all the time, this is coming from my first hand experiance as well as what I have seen at the track.

so, if your stock, you better hope they can't drive too well or they're auto, if your in a 3V anyway. . .

He traps slower than all the LS1s I have seen at our track that were stock (most were 105, one was a high 104 but it was a 'vert). But his ET is pretty good. It would take a decent driver in a strong car to pull his ET. His trap isnt very special though.

yes what you have would beat a stock LS1 and prolly stock goat...
do you hand them thier " " at the track or in the street...prolly better chance on the road. as far as I know, the LS1 rode in, has not much top-end.
