Default Ls1 vs 2v

One of my friends has an 01 Trans Am. M6 Full exhaust and some other stuff he said but my A.D.D kicked in and i didnt hear him.

Im riding with my buddy in his 99 GT ( yellow with cowl hood, you guys have seen it) 3.73's tuned intake x pipe flowmasters pullies and shifter.

they go from a 45 roll on the highway and i honestly was already bent over cause i knew we were getting raped but it was dead even all the way to 120. suprised the hell outta me. were gonna do a dig and 25 roll next weekend with my car or maybe my cobra if i have one by then!

Wow, wonder what happened to the T/A? He's supposed to walk that 2v.

You know my opinion on that Cobra! You honestly won't be disappointed with the 4v. Keep us posted.

It does happen on rare ocassions. I remember racing a LS1 SS Camaro (it at least had a catback) on the highway from about 60-120 mph. I got a small jump, and held it until the top of 4th. I'm sure the car was basically stock though lol.

I am a little surprised, being that the TA had full exhaust, and the 2 valve wasn't even full bolt ons, and it was that close.

The guy probably missed a shift, or just shifted at the wrong rpms. (the OP's story is what I meant)

That T/A driver sucked and/or that ellis juan is not making the power it should be. Bad plug(s)? Blow by? Leaking exhaust? Who knows, these cars are getting old and plenty of shade tree mechanics have had their hands on them.

LMAO... I went to the GTO forums once and posted a kill on a GTO.

The next day I came out and found a flaming bag of poop burning on my porch and LIAR spelled out with weed killer in the grass.

True Story. Sort of.
