A Few Easy Kills For the Camaro SS tonight
Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to LS1's and very selective and careful about any street race, but tonight I was just driving around praying I would see someone I could test my new ride out with. I spent all evening cruising the local spots and enjoying the weather, but I didn't see a single decent car to run with. Atlanta is all about the imports apparently.
After spending the whole night cruising I was able to race 3 times, but they were all a joke to be honest.
First was an older guy on a Harley. Surprisingly this was the closest race of the night. He was much faster than I would have thought. He was able to keep pace with me and stay pretty close until I hit third gear where I walked away from him every time. We raced three times from a stop at three conecutive lights before he pulled off. Didn't get a chance to chat but he gave me a thumb as he pulled off.
The other two races were ridiculously easy, and I knew they would be, and I shouldn't have wasted my gas, but like I said I was just testing the waters in the new LS1 and would have raced my grandma in her probe.
My second race was a 3000GT I met at a light on SR92. Two latino guys in this car started revving me while we were cruising so I lined it up at around 40mph for ***** and giggles. I know these cars can be modded to kick *** (RARE!), but apparently this one wasn't. I walked all over it twice before they turned off, giving me a bumblebee rev as they pulled around me into the turn lane.
The last run was on my way home. A brand new Honda Accord flew by me on I-575 doing about 100 (randomly) in the left lane , so I gunned it and lined up with him at 100 in the right lane. Dangerous? Yes, but the road was deserted in the area and I wasn't in the mood to **** around. If I was driving the Acoord I would have EXPECTED the American muscle to put me in my place. He honked three times so I ran him all the way to 140 (my top speed in this LS1 so far), but he was nowhere close so I shut it down.
The moral of the story is, if you are in the Atlanta Metro area and you think you can run with me (you should all be able to), please pst me so we can run them at the track or on the street. I would love to see another LS1 or a Cobra (I don't mind getting spanked it encourages me to mod further). Or we can cruise and run some imports! Help me out b/c ATL has no muscle that I've seen so far.

there out there you just gotta know where to look......most of the time MAN cars like lsx, cobras, and more other v8 try to avoid the ricers.....and will try to meet up at different places to stay ahead of them

Good Kills. You will get all the racing you can handle when you are not looking for it. It's just like when you have a G/f, all these girls will hit on you and want to go out with you but as soon as you are single they ignore you and you can't even get a date.
A little off the subject but what happened to your Stang. Sounds like a runner with the mods you had in it.

Yeah I loved that car, it hauled ***. I was tagged by a kid in a Ford Taurus on my way to work at 5am. He was 16 and had only had car insurance for six days. I lost practically every penny I spent to mod the car. But hey, it turned out OK since I ended up with the LS1.

I raced a 3000 Gt about 3 weeks ago...It was a car my friend had been working on..We wernt shore how much power it was pushing and decided to go from a 50 mph roll against my 428 rwhp viper...
Thought i had him at first..But about 2 cars on him from 50-70 mph..But by 100 mph he's back beside me and by 130 mph when we shut down he's a good 2-3 cars in front of me...A few days later the 3000 GT put down 500 awhp on a dyno!!! So that made me feel a little better about getting walked LOL

Yea man you'd be surprised how fast those things can be..But unfortunetly they max out around 500-600 awhp before they start falling apart..
Once he got into full boost he just walked away man..LOL My guess is that it would probaly trap around 126 mph MAX, while im around 123 mph MAX..Given weight and wheel HP numbers...
Viper-428 rwhp 3380 pounds
3000GT-500 awhp 3800 pounds
