I'm sure everyone is sick of reading long threads about their kills so I'll keep mine short and sweet. Last weekend I raced a Z28 from a dig, and I beat him by 2-3 lengths. I thought it was nice, the only problem with this is he "claims" it has new heads/cams complete exhaust...is it possible for me to have won legit?

 

Since you kept the important details out it's hard to say.
What year Z28, LT1 or LS1, 80's model? LT1 with heads cam and exhaust should be quicker than you, LS1 with that work would slaughter you and an '80's Z lets say 305 with that combo would lose to you.

 

A lt1 with heads and cam would slap u around and leave u for dead to lol

 

i beat an LT1 about a month ago. basicly stock motor with an AOD.

went from a 15 roll up to about 110

had him by 2 cars at about 70 but he started pulling on the topend.

he had shift kit and exhaust and a passenger (who asked me *politely* to race)

 

Sorry but I think I'm gonna hafta call some BS on that one. Are you sure it wasn't just a slightly modded 3.8? Because a 5.0 with an auto is a 15 second car stock. And to the OP there's no way he had heads/cam exhaust if you're only running 14 flat in your car. Either that or he really needs the driver mod more than anything and doesn't deserve to have a car like that.

 

Can't call BS till we know what year the Z-28 was.
Huge difference from the late 70's models to the LS-1's.

 

now lets not let this kill thread get out of control....

 

my car has 3.55 gears, rebuilt AOD with who knows what parts.

i have a few suspension upgrades as well.

before we raced i told them i would probably lose.

dont thinka 3.8 would have the license plate "DWG-Z28" and it sounded mean as hell....

 

Stranger things have happened...my Auto LT1 Z went 14.1 @ 97mph bone stock (74K on the clock, factory 3.23s and a fubar trans...) but I hear about LT1 cars that can't get better than mid 14s on good days.

 

You also didn't mention how fast you guys went up to.

Butit doesn't matter if it was an LT1 or LS1. Either one of those with H/C and full exhaust would put a GOOD beating on you, especially an LS1.
