If you've some gears, intake, and bolt ons, you can keep up with the crappy geared ones from a stop for a little bit. Then again you are a 'vert so that hurts. Unless you've got some good engine work, a fox mustangs best chance against one is from a dig. Then you better pray they don't have a big stall and gears, if so your screwed.

My brother has a 99 z28 and he ran a 13.4 at the track when it was stock...Now with his h/c/i he is putting down 436 to the wheels off the nitrous...Those engines also get very good gains from simple things. That thread in the forum is actually Numbles. One thing my brother even said is that most people with LS1s pretty much keep there cars stock for the most part and that when you see a mustang you most likely know it is modded.

TFS h/c/i, 125 shot, 4.10s, mt et radials = LS1 in the rear view.

Even with just 4.10s and nittos, from light to light, I really wouldnt have a problem with LS1 GTO's because I was able to launch my car like a machine lol, and it took till the top of 4th for them to run me down...

Yeah, aside from exhaust most LS1 FBods around here are stock. I edged out the ones I raced and I do mean edged. I've lost to a couple too though. A less than perfect launch against an A4 and I'm dead in the water. Going at an M6 from about a 20mph roll didn't produce good results either. lol Got broad torque?

I think he is talking about the 6-speed LS1 not a BMW.

its a staple in society as a quick car and is essentially the car to beat.


Well you can compare them, hell why not compare them, I think it is cool that with a little well spent money a fox can keep up with a modern day push rod that is one helluva motor

I have seen MANY ls1's at the drag strip. I have NEVER seen (mostly Corvettes) get below the mid 8's without moderate modification, and even then they're not faster than a H/C/I mustang.

Some of you guys look at those cars as all she wrote... I raced an LS1 Trans AM 4 weeks ago in my STOCK 93 coupe.

I had:
H-pipe
Smog pump bypass
Flow Masters
Timing Bump
70mm TB
He ran a 9.2 and I ran a 9.4 (maybe 9.5- HUMID day)

In the fall my car will run a 9.0 with drag radials in stock fashion. That would make him run an 8.8 roughly. Most of the newer style vettes here run 8.4-8.8 in the 1/8.

I don't wanna hear 1/4 mile blah blah blah or kick down blah blah blah or "They're all modded" blah blah blah or any other CRAP about LS1's.

If you have an HCI MUstang, and you can't hang with or out run a mild LS1 car...

IT'S YOUR ISSUE.

Sorry to be an asshat but it's getting old. Learn to launch a stock car with a 1.9 or 2.0 60ft on radials and quit giving those cars so much credit. That pass I had a 2.2 60 ft. That boy gave his T/A all she had and was power shifting. I see him every time I go there. I had a 95 Formula LT1... those cars run 8.9's stock. A stock LS1 should get an 8.6 or 8.7 in the 1/8.

On top end they pull hard, but with a 2900-3300 lb mustang, with H/C/I, if you are losing to stock or mildy built LS1's you need to be driving a civic.

Jeez
