Default GT vs WS6

My buddy got out his '00 WS6 Trans am last night, so I figured hey, might as well try a run. I hadn't raced with the 20s or the A/T's yet. We went from a dig the first time, man did my 285s hook up amazingly. I pulled him by about half a car.. and it stayed about the same. I was in the suicide lane and a car was coming so I had to shut it down. Then we went from a 30 kick, stupid me started the roll from 2nd.. and I got demolished for about 4 car lengths. We then went from a 25 kick, this time i started in first... I pulled him for about a car and shut down at about 110. Fun times with some friends...


Edit: Forgot to mention it was a stock ws6.

Sounds like fun runs. Was the WS6 an auto or standard?

I'm not gonna call BS, because anything can happen on the street. But, something's not right with that T/A. An auto 3v with the only mod being mufflers, and big *** 20's that will do nothing but slow it down big time, shouldn't be close to a decent running LS1. 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.

^^^^ Agree with that assessment. If the WS6 is running correctly, it should walk away from a stock 3v auto with big wheels.

I did a burnout, let the light turn green, got out of the car and checked the air pressure, got back in it and still turned a 3.05 short time once. True story....
