long story short, a young guy still had paper plates on it and thought that stock for stock, his car would keep up with mine...didnt realize that i was not quite stock. we went a few times on the beltway here in houston. murdered him every time but on the last one, i took it all the way up to 140 (i know, i know...but it was a quiet night and i hadnt done it in a LONG time) by the time i shut it down, he was over 150 feet back...

once again, he hauled butt up on my driver's side and said "hey man, let's go again, i know i can beat you..." i told him i was sure his car was fast and very nice but i didnt have time to race again...i exited and he did a cute little powershift and raced away...almost as if to "impress" me

 

Nice kill, I wonder how a stock s197 would do, it would probably be pretty close

 

stock S197s run 12s and dyno 400rwhp...they should have no problem killing it.

 

And they are the basis of threads that get moved to OT quite often (from the S197 section).

Stock for stock, i'd say the G may just pull by a car....maybe.

 

no, no those are bone stock LS1 numbers[8D]

 

I am just trying to give credit where credit is due...LS1s run 14s and dyno 200rwhp

 

Are you having another sh!tty day?

 

the car really was no slouch and they look awesome...i just dont think he realized that i had almost 100HP more than he did. the only exterior mod i have is my tires/rims, eibach pro kit, exhaust, and a shorter antenna..other than that, the car looks stock

i'm sure stock for stock, it would be pretty close...closer than any GT owner would want to be against a v6

 

haha...not yet. Just sore from some BJJ/MT stuff over the weekend.

I am merely trying to be less objective and give credit to a faster, sexier, and vastly superior vehicle...

 

From what little Ive read on them, it would be a very close. Ive readthat they are good for 0-60 in five seconds flat.
