This might sound dumb but im wondering if i can be one of those. This kid at my school wants me to race him. Keep in mind that i have 175,xxx miles so its a worn out motor, Auto 4spd, and 2.73 gears. He has a brand new car, manual, supercharged. He says he will kill me. Honestly i really dont want to because i dont want to lose my liscense and i have a gut feeling the race would head south. Hes one of those kids that does not cares if he gets a ticket where if i do i lose the car for 5 months. hes tried to get me to race him but im always busy. Basically if it came down to we meet at a light would i win?

um...i give plenty of credit to the LS1. The only reason i really asked is because ive been in a couple of Cobalt SS and there pretty quick, also they are lighter. So just wanted some feedback and it looks like i got it, should i go off a dig if it does happen or off a roll?

After reading curb weight they are actually pretty heavy

hahaha, either way you own him.... freeway or dig, hes got no chance... unless your motor is totally shot. if your worried about consequenses and hes that cocky throw a hundred on it, at least you would have money to pay for the ticket, not to mention bragging rights... lol

Beo

Asking more knowledgeable people is a form of research...

race him... have it video taped and email it to him daily to show him that he, in fact... sucks at life

Well, I guess if the mileage of your motor worries you, then find another LS1 that isn't so old and then have them race for you. This punk's a coward anyway, challenging a car that may not be running at peak power...

you will take him from any speed, especially from a roll with those gears! if you lived close i'd race him with my bolt on car and tell him that saturns are for daily drivers (i have an SC2 for a work car..lol)
