Default 08 GT vs. WS6 TA

This race happened a lil while ago. Havent posted much on here so I thought I would share it with you. I was actually quite surprised with the outcome. Ran 2 times

1st- 30 roll to about 120
I was in 2nd about 3500rpm, he was auto. I just out right away to about a car, he held it for a second then I pulled I got him by about 4-5 cars. Unsure of his mods, he had some kind of exhaust, running wide nitto's outback.

2nd- 15 roll to about 120
I gave him the jump, he was out by a car and a half. Once I got into third I started pulling pretty good. Ended up getting him by about 3.

Any opinions on his mods? I am putting down 477/432 with a best time of 11.23 at 123.9. Ive been looking for some good races, I dont see to many LSX's around here besides vettes.

I'm thinking an 08GTSC, given his name. If so, he probably killed at least a full bolt on f-body. Good kill to the op.

If he's running low 11s and trapping 124mph, I don't think a bolt-on LS1 is gonna come close enough to give the results that he said. A ~400rwhp cam-only car might though.

Thanks guys. Ive been trying to figure out what this guy has. That thing sounds nasty! Ive talked to a few local ppl and from what I'm hearing hes got lt's, o/r y pipe, cutouts, cams (no clue what they are), intake, 3.73 gears, some suspension mods, and maybe someother stuff not sure.

My setup is a paxton novi 2200SL s/c with air/air cooler and all the supporting mods, exhaust, 3.55 gears and lca's.

Looking at it you're right. Maybe a mild H/C car or cam only? He pulled pretty hard.
