I didn't call BS b/c I got no reason to. You seem to be a decently respected member with actual numbers...unlike 99% of the others here. You should have lost, miserably. But you didn't. So, who knows what happened? Besides, you kicked his ***.

Ok guys of MF heres a kill for ya. So i just got my tuner on wednesday to add to my set up. Without the tune i was running 290 RWHP i havent got it dyno'd since so i dont know the current. Anyways going down Woodlands Pkwy here in the woodlands testing out the new tune since i havent got to drive it in awhile. Driving along and i see some headlights comin up fast so i keep on truckin. A camaro SS slows down beside me and the dude drivin gives me a whats up nod. So i acknowledge with a return nod and we stop at a stop sign we start chatting he compliments my car saying "Your car sounds badass man" and i return with so does yours. I asked him what he had done, he says i have cams, a lid, and exhaust. It wasnt an extreme cam cause it wasnt running that rough. Anyways he say hey man lets run these things and see what we got so, we launch from the stop sign after three honks. I have him off the line and stay about a half a car ahead the whole time. We get up to the next stop sign and he say holy SH$% bro that is a fast stang!! So then we go from a 40 roll three honk and we are off he got the jump cause he did the honkin so he was about 4 feet ahead and i filled the gap and started pulling on him by the time we shut down i had about a complete car on him. We get to the next stop sign and he gives the thumbs up and says thanks for the competition bought time i run across a fast new body stang.
PS: Almost forgot it was a 2001 SS Camaro LS1 Brothers!!!

[sm=icon_sneaky.gif] Thanks for helping me unveil that ls1's can be beaten. Nice kill. I haven't had a chance to do the honors myself, but I look forward to it.

Well he lost,not by a whole lot, but still he lost. With what he stated i expected it to be a close race in his favor, but i pulled out the win.

Hard to say why you beat the SS.
Point is, you say you beat him.
There's almost an air of invincibllity surrounding the LS-1.
It is a great engine, to be sure, but it is not invulnerable.
at any rate, a race is a race.
Good run!

I know you didn't say that, which is good. My car made 35rwhp more than yours with just exhaust on my car. If you outrun a cam/bolt-on car, then awesome. You outran AT LEAST a 370rwhp car that weighs almost the same as your car, congrats. I think that you must be a great driver.
