Do you avoid confrontations with LS1s?

[68stang351]

Just wondering.
Do you typically try to stay away from an LS1 on the street?

For me-
04GT: yes
90: Hell no
68: not usually, especially if I can go from a stop (it launches VERY hard)

 

[FrankenStang]

LOL, I just ignore them.

 

[90]

My Neighbor Owns one.. i try Racing Him Everyday.. he'd Own Me i dont think he knows tho..... im the Kinda Guy that has Been Siking him out For the Past year..

 

[Strippt88]

Hell, no, make em race every chance you get. Its a GM, at some point, it'll break!

 

[dans89lx]

i dont avoid them in the least. A) why...they are a car with more displacement and several years of tech advances on our cars...if you lose you should...

B) i havent been beat badly enough by one that was in my "class" per say, to avoid them...you win some you lose some

 

[25thmustang]

Lots of NOs... I said no but I worry everytime I run one (at the track, obviousely) that he has more than a few bolt ons!

Never lost to one! just had a great race with a Z06 at the track last week... Would have really put the hurt on him if I wasnt putting all my power to ONE TIRE!!! Rearend rebuild next week to say the least...

LOL, that sucks. I know how you feel. A couple of years ago, the rear in the 90 went, but I had to get it driveable again because it's my wife's daily driver. So I grabbed my friend's old rear end out of his coupe (7.5 open diff). It sucked, but at least it had 3.73's, and it was free. In the meantime I had the 8.8 rebuilt with the addition of 3.73's.

I'm glad most of you guys aren't scared of them.
Some others around here act like LS1's are created by God himself.

i was driving home from the movies one night with the g/f and a red t/a came by me and reved ! i ignored it for 2 reasons ..... 1 - the car sounded mean as $hit and 2- i was just crusing no need to race .

the g/f said ah just go mess with him ..... so we ran a few times from a 30-40 mph roll and i came around him every time pretty good races all in all.

later to find out he was , cam'd , stalled and has exhaust ..... went 11.90s at the track .

Hell no....there's no shame in losing. I never understood why people hate to lose so much. I'd love to win every time but the facts are the facts. If you're slower then hey, it's time for a stroker! It's only a problem if you talk $hit and act like you can't be beat. Then your ego is gonna take a hit.

 

[N8Miller]

no, im acutlly looking forward to racing an LS1 that i work with. he talks a good game and is always talking about how he is going to beat me and has never lost to a mustang....

 

[Strype]

Yes. Yes I do. Until I get my GT40X heads, SSI Intake, and B-cam put together

Then they will avoid me and run home with their tail in between there legs

Ahem....i would maybe go with either an X303 or TFS Stage1 instead of the B303.


carry on

Hmmmmmm...

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Hmmmmmm...

The B is an ok cam but it's old tech....there are tons of better options.

 

[Strype]

I'm going all ford old school

 

[grey5.0beast]

Lots of NOS...

Fixxed

I am trying to get this kid at my school with an all stock auto one to race me. He won't. On the spray I know I'd gethim...now just to get my bottle filled...

 

[Strype]

I have seen my 93 eat an LT1 from a dead stop when my friend had it... But the LS1? Tttttttttats a different story all together.

 

[Modular2v]

my 03 gt: went 13.30s.....so i race them, pretty close race usually
88 LX- skin them and put them in the kill bag!

 

[woodyy24]

Hmmmmmm...

go with atleast an E-cam. the B-cam is barely noticable and doeant offer much power gain.


edit: i said no.
i havnt gotten next to any yet but i want to see what theyve got. and im pretty sure i could put a beatin on a stock one no problem.
