Default Stock LT1 Corvette: Murderer [VIDEO]


First race: Taurus SHO
Second: Speed3
Third: E46 M3
Fourth: Evo and Speed6

I'm very surprised at how well my Vette has been performing, things should get even better once I get the longtubes on

Also, I didn't expect to win any of these races!

Enjoy the video

Good kills! LT1's make good torque and everyone writes them off as old and slow. You plan to do anything to the car after the headers?

Yes, I'm planning a simple Hotcam build. It's my only car and I drive it 20k miles per year haha so it has to be streetable and reliable

Lol me too, I was particularly surprised the E46 didn't beat me. He was driving alone too. The MS3 would probably beat me if he didn't have 3 passengers in his car (I had one), but then again you never know!

Yeah he knows about it lol, he's getting it in the spring. Hopefully my cam and headers will be able to hold him off, those SHOs are really heavy.

OP...that was great! Good job and your Vette ran hard against those other cars. Good to see the LT1 still getting it done on the streets.

Now..get a beater car and make that Vette your play toy...

Very good job! I would think that MS3 would have beaten you but I was wrong! Lol It could be the passengers that made the little difference but cam, headers and exhaust he wont keep up anyhow.

LOL I don't even know, I had no idea he had them in there until after the race. We're gonna rerun soon and he'll probably win

That's what I'm hoping! Hopefully I have the headers in for next time. Cam might be coming this summer, depends on how quickly I think I can get it done.

Looks like the Evo pulled you, but you held everyone else off... Good runs, good kills, honorable death

Yeah that Evo and the Speed6 are decently fast, they probably got me by about 3 cars from 50-100. The speed6 says he's making 380awhp.

Good luck with tuning that EPROM ECM. I see a '94 OBD-I PCM in your future.

Have you ran the LT1 at the track yet?


We had a 95' LT1 convertible/auto car we were messing with about 5 years ago... It responded very well to mods.... Completely stock, right down to the paper filter ran a 13.60@101. A magnaflow axle back/K&N filter had it at a 13.51@103. Put a PI 3200 converter in it and Nittos and it ran a 12.90@106 mph. My buddy's wife drove it like that for a couple years, then they did long tube headers, no cats, 3" mid pipes and an LT4 intake, they also had a custom chip burned for it(I believe).. then it ran 12.50s@110.. Not bad for a convertible with 2.7x gears and bolt ons only...

They eventually sold the car but it was a neat ride and a hell of a sleeper for sure.

Anyone else thinks this Vette should be left alone. There is something to be said about being stock and kept up. Nice Kills
