My STOCK LT1 with only exhaust was in the high 13's on a 95 degree day. I'm not seeing this race at all. Maybe he was messing with you. If I had that vette and you rolled up on me, I'd play with the throttle to mess with you. I mean it's a clean car and all, but with that power, even with your weight, I'm not seeing it.

WHAT? HE PULLS ON LS1 CAMAROS?!?!? IT MUST BE BS. 
Another possible explanation was the driver of the C5 was short shifting, and while you two were close, he was still not in his power band....once he got there, he just shot out a few cars and then shifted and fell back to turd status.

look, here is a perfect video for you guys to watch: http://youtube.com/watch?v=lzv9x_09YZA
the legacy has the same mods as me except hes in AZ which means hes running worse gas so i would have a slight advantage. But yea the legacy races a bunch of LSX videos including an LS1 Trans Am. Fast forward the video to 2:00 and you will see exactly what my car does to an LS1 trans am/camaro

RE: Death from a C5 Corvette
Even in hot weather, a car that traps 102 mph may not be able to get it done against an LS1 Corvette. A few years ago my car trapped 102-103 in 90* air with just a airbox lid.

05LGT,
awd cars are great, but peak hp doesn't mean **** if all the power falls off after X rpm...power under curve is what is important how long are you holding that peak #.
do you have your dyno sheet?
