Good kill.

LS1's are then gods that people make them out to be.. especally if the person driving is clueless.. When I went to the track last time there were a pair of TA's.. both were nearly stock.. I think they both had lids and that was about it. Both guys were on street tires. Neither could get better than a 14.3 with tires ablaze. Hell I saw one of them pull a mid 15 spinning through the 8th.... Wasnt the tracks fault.. most of us launched just fine.. these guys just plain sucked.

your post reminded me of 2 track events from 2 or so years ago. this was 2 wednesdays back to back. i went to the track and there was a couple ( BF and GF ) whom both had red ls1 WS6's. neither of them could get out of the 15's. out of the 20 or so passes they made together there trap was never higher then 101, and the ET never under a 15 flat.

Unless this was in 150* temps and/or at the top of the Andes, you should have shot them both and taken their keys. Disgraceful.

Ok, i have an 01 GT, my best run at the track (crappy track) was a 14.5 1/4.

Last night on my way home, i turn on the main street and a camaro SS flies by me so i kinda speed up and we both pull next to each other at a stop light. I didnt know it was an SS till i pulled up next to him (saw emblems/hood) he has a girl with him and looks at me like im a loser with a mustang... so im revin up waitin on a green light.

Light turns green and we are both squeeling tires but i catch before he does (I dont have drag radials) and my car is runnin like a bat out of hell. When i shift into 2nd i get a little sideways, but not too bad, and keep going. At the end of 2nd gear his front bumper is at my rear bumper... he is right on my ***... get a good solid shift into 3rd and for some reason... he isnt gaining on me... he stays on my ***.. (i have been destroyed by a WS-6 before, this why im confused/freakin out at the same time) By the time i shift into 4th he is a little farther back then he was and i let off at about 5500 rpm in 4th gear and he flies by me when i start hitting the brakes like the race wasnt over... LOL, i was laughing my *** off. My car only has 4:10 gears and i made him look like a little bitch... it was pathetic.

FYI - i know it was an LS1, i saw the headlights it was a 98+.... just the you all should know im 1-2 against LS-1's... and 1-0 with LT-1's

WAHOOO!!! MUSTANGS RULE!!!
Excellent run!!!!

I wonder how a race would go between an F-body and my New Edge.

LS1's are old, slow, and suck. Everyone quit comparing them to new motors, it's not fair! Everyone must now compare to the LS7. This is all.

nice kill,

The fastest car in the world is useless if the driver doesnt know how to find the gears and hit the gas.

my car is runnin like a bat out of hell.
I wish my car would all of the sudden run like a bat out of hell, lol. Was that like an odd/unique instance or are you referring to your car as a bat out of hell as just the way it always drives? No flame, just curious!
Thats what my dad says alot, i like to quote him

Thanks for the compliments guys.

And TommyV8... If your freind did realy do that... did he atleast beef up his car before he did it? or did he just do it for looks?

I'm not really sure of his mods.
I personally like the older front end better, my car looks like a catfish/Chrysler Concorde.
