yes, Ls only come in auto. if the vortech WS6 can hook then he should smash even a pullied/chip etc Lightning. Lightnings run 12.5-12.7 with those mods. now if it has a built motor, spray, or big blower, all new ball game. most Ls hook well so it is up to that. otherwise, it isnt even close.

ye i wasnt sure bout the manual...the lightning belongs to some idiot at school braggin about his truck...he says he has a ton of money into it but he got owned by a lancer evo from my school too...the kid said he wasnt really racing..i guess he was just trying to save himself the embarrasment of admitting he lost..reminds me of that video bout the kid that got smoked by A Acura CL was it? and didnt wanna admit he lost...so yea getting back to the topic, He called out a friend of mines that owns the blown WS6 but my friend said he wasnt gonna waste his time after seeing him get beat by the lancer, so i wanted to get ur opinions on the subject...Do you think i can take him?..I have a 98 Transam stock

I've owned both vehicles (well my WS6 was turbo). If the WS6 is setup right it will stomp the L; HOWEVER if you are going from a stop you had better have some stickies on the WS6. My L with chip/pulley/cai hangs with h/c/i LS1's up to 80-90 then after that I hit a brick wall with the aerodynamics. The L's hook like no other but as long as you go from a roll you should be fine.
