89 gt vs ls1

oldschoolmuscle · May 4, 2005

i have a 89 gt, usual bolt ons, a guy in town wants to race me for a 1000 bucks. He has a ls1 383, 4400 stall on a th400 with a trans brake, ford 9in 4.56 gears, mini tub, a real big cam, and a two stage wet nitrous kit. afr 225 heads. the car is fast, he won't say how fast. and i know its faster i was just wondering all that i would need to even halfway run with him, besides a twin turbo kit, and or alot of nitrous and a built motor. just curious and doing some dreaming.

his combo is probably good for hi 9's lo 10's

so a lot

You'll get half-tracked, don't race that car for money.

BaXTeR3221 · May 4, 2005

You would need a lot. Prolly somewhere in the neighborhood of 15k to run w. him. Built motor, trans, rear, fuel system, suspension, and a power adder.

That guy probably has 20k in mods. Tell him you'll do an endurance race and see who can go farther on a tank of gas.

nothing a 500 shot of nitrous cant beat

A high 12 second car would probably get half tracked by that car, lol

Daniel50 · May 5, 2005

yeah that car with a decent shot of nitrous is probably dyno'ing around 550 plus horsepower

Daniel50 · May 5, 2005

but its a chevy... it'll break down half track

shonoff · May 5, 2005

Let the air out of his tires when hes not looking.then race

grrrrrrr · May 5, 2005

Half tracked??? I'm guessing that cars 1/8th mile would look like his 60'... Poor a couple gallons of model airplane fuel in his tank and then offer to race, should even things up a bit...

The only chance you have is if his car breaks down. He's got you good.

Sicarius428 · May 5, 2005

Even if it did break down during the race, it will probably have enough umph to coast the rest of the way and win. You will need at least a 331 with a power adder and a bundle of suspension mods to keep it planted to run with him... Save your money...

Yikes. Your gonna need a built motor to hang with him. No way around it. 347 stroker with a big blower could do the job.

mackey · May 5, 2005

With a two stage nitrous kit he's probably making around 600-800hp total... Good luck!

You would probably have trouble keeping up to a stock LS1, leave alone one modded like this one.

walk away now while you still have your dignity.

I agree, why go through the embarassment, and OH will it be embarassing

Daniel50 · May 5, 2005

can always hope the LS1 is in a 12,000 pound car

pull 7 of his plug wires and u might have a chance as u sit...if not a 408 with a healthy dose of nitrous should do the trick
