My 5.0 vs LS1 Z28 The opponent: 'vert Z28 (assumed auto b/c how it took off and the way the guy was driving). Had a passenger (his son?) Combined weight estimated at 420# give or take 20#.
Me: My 5.0, me, 1/2 tank of gas
The race 75punch with me in 4th at about 4-4400rpm IIRC to 6500rpm on my tach (about 110mph).
He got the jump by 1 car and then pulled 1 car and then I stopped his pull and we were dead locked for the rest of the race. I was highly dissapointed that he didn't keep pulling. It makes me doubt my own LS1, but I have a M6 hard-top and he DID have a passenger so my LS1 should perform better...I dunno, still odd that I deadlocked him after his initial jump.

Considering he was auto, 'vert, and had a passenger I think its normal. I put 1-1/4 car on a 99-01 Cobra with no passenger in it during a similar race. I find the Z28 race to be very acceptable.

In that case, <sarcasm> I should go get some 4.10s so I can start beating LS1s <sarcasm>. That 5.0 is beating things it might not be able to, but hey... anything can happen on the streets

You only have about 20whp more than me and weigh more as well and I bet you could have hung dead with a 'vert auto Z28 with passenger, dont you think?

Lets assume 290whp for the Z28, then add 400# for passengers to the 3574# curb weight...gas too...4000# and 290whp... compare that to my 3500# and 244whp and you can see why I stopped him dead in his tracks. Makes perfect sense to ME.
