can the dynolicious correct for DA?

I should try that out when i get to the dragstrip next.. wont be saturday like i planned.. its snowing right now... rain predicted for saturday..


if that trans am in question was Gstam then OP might have had a chance.. but typically a stock auto with 20s is going to lose to an LS1.


I also have never manually shifted my auto for a roll race.. i figure it isn't real racing anyway so no point in wasting my energy with manual shifting

could it have had the 2.73s in the rear diff? I'm not that familiar with the different trims of the ls1

Shifting an auto manually usually is a bad thing and slows the car down. Unless you have a MVB auto, there's really no point.

Some LS1's did come with the 2.73 gear option.

Even then, it'd still be faster than an auto 3v on 20's. The 2.73 geared cars still aren't much slower. But, if it's a Trans Am, I highly doubt it only had 2.73's. For the most part, Trans Ams have about all the options, so I'm willing to bet it had 3.23's, if it was an auto.

Yeah it was a m6, but I drove it the ws6 yesterday.. after I posted this and the transmission is **** on it. It literally will not go into 3rd gear unless you let off the gas and shove it as hard as you can...and the car will not stay not stay in reverse.. You have to hold it haha.

and yeah id say my dynolicious is prolly wont on the 1/4 mile... i didnt even do a 1/4 mile, I done a 0-60 and 60 foot, it just projected the rest. Haha

i think were going to run again tonight, so ill get a video.

And I thought the Dynolicious app was supposed to be pretty accurate. It looks way off in your sig, if it's saying you pulled a 13.4 with a 3.25 60'. lol. A nearly stock auto, on 20's, or even 17's for that matter, wouldn't hit high 13's even, with a 60' like that.
Yeah it was on 17s when i ran the dynolicious..crappy pirellis
