RE: Termi vs SS Camaro
I guess I should have added he has 373s and a 6 peed T-56. I still think racing him from a dig would yield the advantage to me, Ive seen him take off hard at lights before and either (a) he cant launch that thing or (b)his supension isnt setup well. He claims the car is not built for drag racing but for track racing. Not sure what he means by that.

RE: Termi vs SS Camaro
Auto SS's had 3.23 gears, ALL 6 speed LS1 F-bodies had 3.42's. I also do think it take 40 hp or so for a Termi to pull a LS1. They are a couple hundred pounds heavier and have an IRS that eats a lttle hp. OP, sounds like you had a good race, let us know what happens when he sprays. I do thing the guy in the fbody is kind of a tool for claiming his car is set up for "track' racing
he sounds like a ricer, plus who puts spray on a road racer.

All auto Z28 and Formulas/Base Trans Ams have 2.73's, no possible 3.23's, right?
All auto SS/WS6's have 3.23's
Every 6spdhas 3.42's, no possibilty of 3.23's, correct?
All LS1's are created equal, but their drivetrains are not.

^ Yeah, I was thinking it was availble.
One more question: Are 6spds and 2.73's a possible factory combo? I don't think they are, but thought I'd ask.

My friend's auto 2000 Z28 came with 3.23's... i have not seen many autos with the better gearing option.
