another mundane race: murder of WS6
After almost two years of driving this car, I:
A. still have not gotten a vette to run em'
B: haven't gotten to race any ls1 that wasn't stock(besides exhaust)
New WS6 trans am ram-air in town, so I pulled him over and asked if he wanted to run em down a country road. Went from 30mph... complete and utter slaughter, went from stop...murder!?!
Dammit, this is about my 20th ls1/cobra kill and I'm starting to get tired of running these slow bastards. Wish me luck on future findings, maybe I'll come across a supercharged vette or something before I lose interest in racing. Something at least fast enough to make me decide to get some nitto's. Maybe if I go ahead and get some DR's they will come flocking to me....

Also, what makes you think that the inscription of "Drag Radial" on your sidewalls is gonna make people flock to ya?
Either way, I hope you find your match soon enough to keep you entertained.
Good luck.

Like said before you must be one hell of a driver or your luck is bad because you have been running into people who can't drive for ****. With those mods, if you come across the right person(and believe me they are out there) you will need to go inside the motor along with getting some nitto's.

I've driven all the way to the track 3 times and it wasn't all that great. All camaros and Cobras I saw ran very inconsistant low to mid 14's w/maybe a second gear scratch. Except one supercharged c5 running high twelves/low 13's on DR's . I get much better traction on the street and therefore don't plan on going back to that track ever. I'll eventually drive to a decent drag, but waiting till I get stickies to make it worth the long trip. I know there are tons of fast cars out here, I'm just saying it would be nice for me to get a surprise on the street sometimes.
I wanna say, "well yesterday I was driving along and an awesome____pulled up and revved. We ran em and I went home happy"
BTW: I replaced everything but the springs/k-members, so I say G2 suspension for simplicity. And a slaughter/murder is 3+ cars in my book, especially when you give them the jump.

You've been to the track 3 times and the f-bodies and cobras were running 14's Is the track located on an 8000ft mountain-top I'm unaware of. I'm one of the slowest f-bodies at the track (NJ and NY). A supercharged vet here runs 10's all day long.
You are beginning to sound like a troll.

Not backing him up any..but Ive witnessed a S/C C5 run a 13.3 more than one pass... also several LS1 cars here struggle to see 13s. Why? DRIVER. Period. If the driver sucks..the car will suffer. I usually take in account trap speeds, and how stupid the driver looks/acts.
