do i have a freak? my car is a 2000 camaro z28 with just a lid and the 273 gears, so anyways i raced my friend he has a 1990 240 sx that we did the turbo engin swap from japan, rebuit it compleatly (after he blew it up) and put a bigger turbo on it...he is running 15psi he has raced a 6spd F-body before with the ls1 in it and he smoked it he said that it did not even hang with him.
so today i ran him...we went from a 60 roll and he only had me by a car length at 120 when we shut down, at first he jumped casue i have a auto tranny and it was thinkin, then i pulled a little as soon as it shifted like a foot or 2 on him, then he started pulling till he hit his last 500 or so rpms where i pulled a little more, then when he shifted he pulled like half to a full car length and then i started pacing him about a car behind till we shut down. i have a feeling i would have cought him but he had to shut down cause of traffic.... do i have a freak? or what hehe

his 240 is compleatly stripped except for 2 seats...no carpet it's bare, so it's about as light as they come, and last year he was running 13.1's in the 1/4 with 256 hp this year they figured at 20 psi (which he will be running) he will have about 350 hp so i figure he is about 290ish to the wheels right now

you might have a freak car, my friend has a 99 z28 with headers, borla cat back, stall and a mild cam, he runs 11.08 1/4 mile, and my other friend with a 02 ws6 with a cam, bigger stall and mt1 heads runs about the same, so who knows

nah he is a good friend lol he does not lie about that **** i guess I<<-- phrased it wrong, pretty much when we got to his house he goes....man you got a freak car, i raced a ls1 f body the other day and it did not even hang with me like you did. pretty much he pulled the other ls1 the whole time...when he raced me, when i got into the meat of the powerband i stared comming up on him.

the 6speed wasnt racing or something was wrong with it. u never know, but u dont have a factory freak, only thing possible is that u bought it used and it may have parts u dont know about. why dont u go to the track and let the numbers talk.

Is that a 1.5sec 60'? Could you ask him to PM me? I'd like to know how he does it.

I find it funny that you weren't there, but you say it MUST'VE been an LT1. Cause OMGWTF an LS1 can never lose.
Come on man. Seriously.
