That Camaro is probably a high 12 second car. Low 12s if it has a torque converter. T/A is pretty much stock, should be a good race, low 14s to high 13s.

Not if it doesn't have converter. The stock one will barely spin little 245s.

For some reason I thought the LS1 car was a Camaro.

That's a lot of power going through the A4. There are pure bolt on auto cars well into the 11s. I don't see a low 12 being a problem out of a stock converter.

Stock 'verters are like 1600 stall. 3.23 gears help but some cars came with 2.73s, total dogs out of the hole. A switch to a mild 3200 stall cut a half second off ETs.

I raced my boyfriends '95 TA for the first time last night and managed to win. We are both stock at this point. But his car came with C6 rims-which he is trying to get rid of, 19" back and 18" front- and I think that played a role.

If a LS4 car, stock or not, lost to a stock LT1 F-body, there's a problem.
