Question What is possible for a street driven H/C/I car?

Lets say I had a 02 Z28 and wanted to drive it 90% on the street 10% track.
What kind of power and 1/4 mile performance could I acheive?
|My friend has a notchback mustang that runs 11.9@116.5 at 2900 lbs on pump fuel. I know I could duplicate that or better with improvements in technology.
The LS1 should be able to best that I would think.
What are the real world numbers?

Thumbs up

Thanks. I'll go thru the list.
Its strange that no one else has any opinion on what is a repeatable combo is for the LS1 F-Body's.
I guess they're the "mystery" car.

I have a DD heads and cam car. I've got some more tuning that has to be done, but it really isn't bad at all. Then again i've got a mild 228/232 cam. My car still has more left in her. The number below, was a pull to only 6000, though a stock TA catback. I"m going to add a FAST 90, open the cutout, and pull to 6800 like i should have. It drives great and pulls hard. It really depends on how much your willing to deal with. There are so many different combo's out there.

Thanks Mssingkid. What power do you think you are making and what do you think it would run? Have you raced any Terminator Mustangs? I wonder how these two cars would match up performance wise for dollars spent?

You could have a 10 sec daily driver if you wanted. Check out this:

Well my numbers are below, 421/390. And as i said, i still have a few things to work out, so i don't doubt another 15HP or more is possible. No time slips yet, but soon. High 11's maybe?? I'm getting used to the clutch. I haven't run any Terminators yet, but i did easily kill a C6 vette. I wasn't shooting for 500whp, so i didn't buy AFR, TEA etc. My heads are the Stage 1 PRC w/valve job. dual springs and a 228/232 110+1 cam. It's got great street manors, it's calm below 3500, but after she pulls and hard. I did all the work myself, so i saved myself a ton of cash. I think i spent around 3K, but that includes my LT headers and LS6 intake. Terminator's make great power too. I've heard it's easy to see 450 @ the wheels. Couldn't tell ya more if i wanted as i'm no blue oval expert. Maybe someone else will chime in.

You could have a 10 second car if you wanted, but easily an 11 second car with h/c. My car puts down 450whp and easily beats my friends 490whp Terminator Cobra. The Terminators are heavier than LS1 cars so it takes more power to make them go as fast.

A4 or M6? You could run 11's with a torque converter, gears, a tranny cooler and some basic bolt ons.
