i thought they ran 12's right out of the box?

WS6 and SLP equipped LS1's are very fast.
They are no faster than a regular LS1. The SS and WS6 packages are 99% cosmetic and in the real world are no faster. Don't beleive the marketing hype.

I don't doubt the fact that you won, but I would not expect it to be the slaughter that you claim. Good kill.

Wouldnt they technically be slower cause of the added weight

what i was implying is that a bullit is the same thing as an SS or ws6.

Correct me if I'm wrong but a firehawk is just a formula w/ ram air and a LT-4 Cam correct? I don't really know anything about em.

I always thought the ls-1 firehawks,ws-6s and ss camaros were over priced and overrated when compared to regular trans-ams and z-28s.What was the difference,like 20-25hp,not worth 7k-10k more than you had to pay.

hhmm , maybe u guys did not grasp what i was just implying. is a bullit faster then a GT?

the SS or WS6 might be a hair faster, but it is all driver in the end.

Not really,there rated 265hp verses 260 for the regular gt,but they have more bottom end.The only differance in the motors[as far as I know] is the bullets use a different intake and a twin 57mm throttle body from the cobra.They might be a tenth or two quicker in the quarter,but thats about it.
