Dang dudes......I drive an 05GT, and even I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt. Mainly cuz I have a buddy of mine that just managed to get his 06GT into the 14's (as opposed to the 15's he had been running for the last couple of months[:@]). Throw in an even less aggressive, less experienced racer and you have a perfectly spankable S197.
Anybody who could only "just manage" to get a mid 13 second car into the 14's needs to hand over his license because he doesn't deserve that car, good grief you could miss 2 gears and run 14's.....

Its amazing how slow your car is when your over anxious and burn your tires through 2nd.

On a side note, did you know you had a ricer in the background of your picture?

well, my LT1 has 2.73 gears. and yes my stang launch 10x times better. also i raced against an LS1 z28 from a dig, (i posted it here too) i put on 2 cars length on him when topped my second gear and then i really couldnt tell but he looked a little closer to me and due to traffic i shut down and watched his ricer fly by. and i raced another z28 a week later, i out launched on him again but he walked when i shifted to 3rd and i asked what he got and he sia dhe only got LSP lid.

s197s are definetely faster than LT1s and slower than LS1s.

I know, he's horrible. Worst part is that he's been to the track a number of times.......so it's not like he hasn't had some practice. I feel sorry for his car. I'm tempted to go with the track with him and run his car myself, but I know if I run better than him he's gonna be pissed. So I say screw it. He's just gonna be the reason why non-S197 drivers in this area think these cars are god-awful slow.[:'(]
