Comin home the other night from DD'n, caught a light with 01 or 02(couldnt tell what year, but fairly new) Camaro SS. He gritted on me, then gave me "the nod." I got him off the line, and through second, and most of third. As soon as I shifted to fourth, he put about a car and a half on me. He gave me a thumbs up when he turned off. I guess you could say he kicked my butt..either way, im happy. When I raced one stock, I got raped. Now that I know I can hang with 'em, I def. wanna mod the car out jut a lil more. Just a few more bolt-onsto go...

 

good job

 

Nice run. I don't want to rain on your parade, but losing by a car and a half isn't exactly "hanging with" one.

You need a blower or a nice 100 shot of laughing gas.

 

congrats on the loss [8D] its honorable. 4th gear.......you were probably moving pretty good, so, you might have had him thru the 1/8th, but definitely NOT 1/4

 

If he was into 4th gear he was doing about 105 or better supposing he ran each gear all the way out. That means the 1/4 mile is over and he would have won.

Thats if he has a 99-04 GT. Top of third gear is about 103 so just into fourth would have been atleats 105. Good run man.

 

Even with 3:73's?

 

what rpm where you shifting at

 

Overlooked the 3.73s sorry. Just forget what I said.

 

I shift outta 1st around 5300, 2nd, and 3rd at about 5100 or 5200ish. I didnt round out 4th, just shifted to it, got pulled away from, and let off.

 

My buddy (old roommate) has a 2002 WS6 M6 and Ive driven it on a few occasions and my conclusion is that it takes SO long for a stock LS1 to wind up and get into its powerband. Nothing like the way the 4.6 revs over.
