Ok look. This is what happend. It was a 05 or 06 z51 can't tell the diffrence . Just did notice the brakes and rear and scoops and other thungs like that but he had rims I couldn't tell it they were factory or not but lookd kinda dropped I got two videos if yu guys wanna see . All I'm saying is I redline my second gear! So I shift around 100 and after I he third I was toast! He stomped on me! But if I woulda downshifted a second or two earlier woulda been a fair race. He jus looked over and gunned it. No beeps revvs or nothing so wasn't expecting it.

I believe it I've seen ls4 cars hang with a lot of cars c5, cobras, srt chargers, g8's etc. with very minor bolt on's (headers, exhaust, CAI, Tune) honestly there isn't many cars that will blow the doors off an ls4 with minor bolt ons before 3rd gear (and by blow the doors off i mean have more then 2 cars on it)....

...however after it gets into 3rd the party is over

I've put buslengths on my own LS4 (with my wife at the wheel) in my "mild" Grand National, and in my experience, a V8 W-body would have trouble keeping up with most of the cars listed above unless it was a full bolt-on LS4 or Travis. Of course, a lot of those faster cars suffer from the "bad driver" mod, so it's still worthwhile to race them, because "you never know".

We do spank the later Fox-body and newer 3-valve Mustang pretty good, though. And it's always fun to shock the ignorant Charger R/T and 300C owners in their overrated and overweight Hemi cars.

Not looking to start a flame war here, but I think it's important to keep some perspective about the LS4's place in the food chain.
