RE: LS1 goes down
ORIGINAL: TommyV8
Sorry, but it actually does happen and has been documented many times. I know two guys who have done it themselves with stock 6-speed LS1 F-bodies (those two brothers who raced each other on Pinks, Camaro and Firebird). One hit 12.89 in his wife's SS. He currently owns the world's fastest naturally aspirated 6-speed car (the orange one he raced on the show) so he obviously knows his way around a stick shift. Your buddy needs driving lessons.
If my g/f's stock 2.73-geared auto can run 13.3 ( I was there), why can't a 3.42-geared manual hit 12.9?

I still do NOT buy the 12.9 thing. I have yet to see a single stock LS1 car break into the 12s on video or real life. It seems like all these great drivers with 25K to spend on a car (new at least) cannot afford a video camera.
