The 13.52 in my sig was my best time bone stock (good luck finding atotally stock LS1 to run though). Most runs were around 13.6-13.8, depending on the 60 ft. So you may have a shot.
My g/f had a hardtop 2.73-geared automatic '01 Z28 and ran 13.36 @ 105 bone stock, 2.0 60 ft. Just hope you don't run into a freak like that. Or one with 3.23 gears. Or especially a 6-speed with 3.42s (that would be a whomping).

Race a lt1


I have raced an lt1 before and had 2 cars until around 100 where he caught me. I also raced an auto 07 GT and held him off until 70 where he started walking me hard.

JUST GO OUT AND RACE ONE!!

Does anyone know how to use the search feature of this forum? The mods should do something about this. It's one thread after the other asking the same questions that's been beat to death a million times. One simple search should yield thousands of opinions/facts/ANSWERS!

Oh let the posts continue, its all in good fun.

A sticky may be useful, but ultimately its up to the driver.

SPECULATION AGAIN! Every race, is open for debate I dont care what the 2 cars are. Drivers can make a 1-2 second difference easily. Years ago I ran my 6 speed 93 Camaro (275HP) stock in the 14.00-14.10 range all day with stock tires down to the air filter. My buddy got in it and ran a 15.0 at the same track on the same day??? Of course, he had never raced before. Tommy is the only one that seems to know wtf he is talking about, shame on you for saying he would get stomped. His car is capable of 13.50-70's, STOCK, Ive seen it at the damn track here with the right driver and lowered tire pressure (yes in an auto.) Dropthose skinny crappy assPir'spressure to around 27-28, and runthe SOB. Ive beat freakin 03 Terminators when I had Mickey Thompson DR's from a dead stopbecausehe couldnt hook. By the time he started gaining back on me at 70 or so, the next light was up, so I won. Then I had my *** handed to me from a 20mph run [&:]. So you never know. Ive run an assload of Camaro's most were98-02's. Ive won and lost. But I wonsome on the street becasuse they see a drop top 99 GT and figure "oh, what could he possibly run". Then they think play with me a littlewhile I pull 4 cars and by the time they see what Ive got in it, its to late.You never know. Run it!!!! Go practive though until you get the launch down with that tire pressure. When its done, air them back up, its very dangerous running pressurethat low, especially if you hit a tight turn, it could pop the bead and your f-ed. Good Luck!!!!

I heard running low pressure on street tires only hurts you... just what I read on this site


Tonight I am going to the track on street tires and would really like to know. Last time at the track I could NOThook with 30psi... max is 51psi so I'm going to try 35-40 psi

Yes, I've read that sticky. But rather than 7 pages of bickering, it would be a more useful sticky that just gave average 1/4 mile times and then said under everything that its all about the driver. Then lock the post and leave it up there.

I was just at the track last night on street tires. I ran them at 28psi they are 245/45/17 B/FKDW's, if your running anything wider than a 245 tire don't go under 30psi, I ran a 1.8** best 60' time in an 04 GTO with stock suspension.
