I was running mid 13s with a lid and cutout (in warm air) so it might be a decent race.
True...but think about what he would be runnin in warm air. [8D]

What you dont know? Every "stock" LS1 comes from the factory with a hidden kit. I do not see you ever beating an LS1 with those mods..

A win is a win, but I really don't see it happening. If you do win, kudos to you for being a good driver.

You're right, if you win, you win, there is no doubting that, but if you do win, its because you are a better driver or they spun, or something is wrong with their car. Good luck.

Maybe I just reading into this too much in the S/S section,but this statement always seems to be thrown around as a negative thing. Not just here by you 1BAD, I mean in general.

I've beaten a few LS1s in my day, with my car at varying stages of modifications against LS1s of varying stages of modifications, and sometimes I won only because of driving skill. That gives me more satisfaction personally.

If I had to choose one reasonor the other....I would much rather beat someone because of my personal driving skill than because my car did all the work carryingmy lame *** across the finish line first. I would rather have better skill AND a faster car, but all the same.
