Freak Motor Or What? Just Curious... :)
So i have had my Lt1 Camaro for about two weeks now and i have only been beaten by a Hyabusa on Meth, An R1 on Spray, and my buddies 00' WS6 Formula (He races cars for a living, so its kinda not fair anyways). I have yanked on an 04' Vette, TONZ of bikes, a heads and cam LS1 SS, a newer GTO (6.0L), a new G35 M6, two new camaro's (an SS and a V6), a I/H/E Trans Am, God knows how many hondas... Anyways i was just wondering if having 70K on the clock, a built 700R4 Tranny, and a CAI would let me do all of this realistically...? I mean idk the numbers it makes but i get scratch through 3rd, i dont know my gearing, i dont know my compression, i dont know anything really about it cuz i havent hit the Dyno yet... But i mean is this normal for me to be yanking on EVERYTHING i see?

yea sorry chief but you shouldnt even beat a stock ls1 let alone head/cams. either your leaving out mods or your not very mechanicaly inclined and not noticing some major modifications that were already on that car. maybe your leaving out the 150 shot of nitrous? lol just saying. realistically you should be a high 13 Seconds.

Pulling tough on a scooter doesn't count. head/cam ls1 is like low 12 high 11 car(pending on other mods) stock lT1(minor cai/lid, exhaust) is mid-high 13's. unless he was missing shifts he should have stomped you. my car has 67 000 miles and no way will i pull on a head, cam ls1

that explains it.
he is just driving around and every vehicle that he passes on the street counts as a kill.
Great KILLZ op

"...and also there's this huge lope coming from the engine and my exhaust doesn't sound stock. Seriously, it's loud, and it makes the whole car shake at the stop light. Any of you other LT1 guys have this problem? The car lopes so much it feels like it's going to stall at any moment..."
"...What else is weird is, I can't get traction until mid-way through 4th gear...any other LT1 guys have this problem? I mean, I'm on the freeway doing 80mph, I punch it, it downshifts, and I go sideways immediately and have to let off and correct because I almost hit the guard rail a few times! I just stopped flooring it after that...I'm trying to learn how to drive with only half acceleration....Why did GM make LT1s this way? it's just weird..."

You seem just like the kid i saw Saturday. Beside me at a red light listening to my car BEAT the ground in a STOCK LT1 Z28 and asks if I want to race. After I laugh at him he launches his car on the green light..... and apparently smoked my ***.
