Doesn't matter anyway... Ls1's are slow turds... I smoked one with my stock 94 9C1 Caprice daily driver.
Should I trade for an ls1???? Am I crazy?

Stock for stock, sure. But if we start modifying, all bets are off!

Huh, I usually don't have a problem with them. People don't know how to drive... This run was with low compression in 3 cylinders... after I pulled the rings off, 3 of the pistons fell apart. So while I was at it, I added a bigger cam.
Yes, this was in eliminations, and yes, I broke out, but even if the lights were even I would have taken him. I ran a slow 13.4 to his 13.8.
And yes, my post above was a joke. I was driving a stock 89 GT 5 speed, and got left by an Ls1 like nobodies business.

My car wasn't running too great in that video... A lot of the time you can just out drive them. My car comes off the line pretty hard for a Daily Driver with daily used drag radials... drove 100 miles to the track cutting 1.8's.
And yes, I would say around 320 to the ground without the low compression I had at the time... Ls1's are know to put down 300 to the wheels stock or with a lid and catback. Some even put down that much stock.

I said a lot of time YOU can out drive them as in people in the forums... All I have to do is get a good launch and keep it on the floor... when I get some time in the states a 6 speed will be going in. I am tired of going through Automatics... Anyways, where are the pictures of your ride? How are you liking it so far?

I don't have a camera. But, so far not to bad. The power makes my stang look like a v6. The main downfall is the
ty visibility.

Yeah, the visibility isn't the greatest in these cars, and they have a very long nose on them... Other than that, how are you liking the auto? With my old cam, I was neck and neck with an auto ls1 camaro from a roll. I destroyed him from a dig though. I was impressed, they are no joke from a roll.

I actually like it
. It's nice not constantly shifting and not worrying about rolling into some one on a hill.

I like mine too, just tired of destroying them... I might do one more temp 700r4 to get some good 1/4 runs in and to get me by till I return stateside in a few years... But in reality, it will be getting a t56 one of these days.
