Default LT1 beating up on some LSX (with videos)

Got 2 wins in my LT1 on sunday. First was more of a close win than kill. My car (mods in sig) vs a 2005 CTS-V with a magnaflow exhaust. We did a ~35 roll both starting in 2nd gear. I jumped out a car or so real quick and he made it back to my door by the top of 4th when we let off. I was very suprised, considering I thought I was going to get killed.

Second race was my LT1 vs a 2000 SS auto with a lid and gmmg exhaust. We did a 2nd thru 3rd roll and I pulled about 2 cars (I was spinning bad too) before we got out of it.

I got both races on video, but there are on facebook and have no idea how to link them here. Just figured I would share. Looks like the ol LT1 can still put up a fight

So you, with your LT1 with long tubes, exhaust and gears, beat a 400+ hp CTS-V from a roll? Did he know you were racing?

I gotta see this video.

You're gonna have to post them on youtube or make your FB profile public so we can see them. Can't see the vids as it is now.

12.93 @ 106.4 1.9 60ft


That mph is about dead on with a bone stock first gen V, as sad as that is. 45 is a better 2nd gear roll for the V so thats probably why you got that instant car.

For the record, this was at a rental at Atco a few months ago, and the orange (LS1) car left in 2nd gear, and a week or so later, during a tear down, was found to have a bad bottom end (can't remember what exactly was wrong with the car, off the top of my head right now).





Details on your car, as far as weight reduction, please? I know you eliminated the AC and basic emissions stuff; Anything else? And were you spraying anything out of that Nitrous Outlet kit, or running NA?

Car was full weight minus what you said. N/A spray wont be ready for a few more weeks. And yes Beggs car was a piece. I think the rings were messed up when they tore it down like 2 months later. Just figured I would post it for the hell of it...

Hahaha yup it was her car. Guess you could see the vids if you are friends with her on fb. I know of Rob K, but not personally. I know her through her boyfriend Chris...
