C'mon its an LT1....
 
I know some of ya'all have raced in less than legal circumstances, how many of you have said the subject line to hustled some one? If you find a idiot with an Ls1 it works awesome. One night I convinced some kid with a stock 02 his LS1 ran 12.9s and my buddies 94 Z ran 14s, so 1 second = 10 cars, so asking 6 and the move was reasonable. We got to eat at a sit down resturant that night :) What about y'all with your lowly LTjauns? Hell even Jucin said it on Pink! I think it came in our owners manual or some thing

ive used the "but your an lsx car and im only a ltx car so you will probley win but i just want to see so lets put 20 on it and run". that will make you an easy 20 bucks!

94strokedz Jul 22, 2005 09:21 AM

My line just before I eat an LS1 is "Cmon man, its just another weak LT1", what are you afraid of??????

Charging TA Jul 22, 2005 11:01 AM

I thought this was gonna be something common to our LT1s... It should be changed to "come on" or "c'mon"...

C'mon means come on, so no it doesnt need to be changed.

I changed it ;)

It was originally "Common its an LT1", I changed it to "C'mon it's an LT1"

Nice...now I look dumb :jest: Oh well at least I know what I am talking about lol

95 Formula Jul 22, 2005 05:28 PM

I love being underestimated...it makes the victory that much better.

AnthonyConstant Jul 22, 2005 05:31 PM

i play mine off as a 3.8 liter.

Jordan57 Jul 22, 2005 05:38 PM

Actually there are only a few LS1's I used to beat. But they were just stockers. Now it's going to be hard to hustle...with the gm847 cam, td's and welds. :eek2: But before, I would get approached by Mustangs and what not and they would ask what do you have done? And I didn't have to lie...a bolt on lt1....it's enough.... :)

phrase i always use, but never works "its just a firebird, everyone knows firebirds are V6's"

Its not that hard, I had a "Firebird" rear filler pannel once, every one asked why I had the Trans Am wing on a V6. I just told them because it looke nice :)

SmokedOutZ28 Jul 22, 2005 07:14 PM

My line is "Its Only a LT1 how fast could it be?"... but i am truly the slowest LT1 in the Midwest. And once I deleted the Z28 badges and the pipes out the back I got more people asking me how i got a V6 to sound so good :confused:

LTwonZ Jul 22, 2005 08:08 PM

"All lt1's are crawlin when they're racing lsx's" That has worked a few times. But most of the time I hear it from the guy that wants to race. "it's only an lt1"

z28boysteve Jul 23, 2005 01:33 AM

big cam + open headers + 10lb bottle in back window + 30" slicks = that phrase stopped working for me :-(

There are so many idiots out there these days that all you have to do is say. It is a LT1... There are alot of 03/04 cobra owners that think they are going to kill a ls1 that when you tell em its a LT1 they dont even care whats done to it...its already in the bag in their eyes..When I had a small 224/230 I was trapping within 1-2 mph of cam only ls1s...Not crazy cammed ls1s or anything but the car was still faster than what it should have been. SO on the 100 shot there werent alot of cars that were touchin me on the highway... Not saying my car was nuts or anything there just werent alot of crazy cars out here. With the 20tl exhaust now I will be saying that my car is a hotcam with headers and a hundred shot.. Not the 383 stroker 250-300 shot that it really is.. The only prob is if they look under and see the 9inch...but ill just say i got sick of blowing up stockers.I also have no cage or anything to make it look like a race car so I should be able to trick a few people before the surprise factor wears off.. The nice thing is that cubes are the easiest thing to hide... One of the best sleepers ive seen though was this kids 95 formula.. It was a solid roller 383 with a 300 shot... outside looked stock and the engine bay was dusty as hell. It looked like it had never been worked other than the long tubes.. It had a slp dual dual(quiet) with electric cutout right before over the axle pipe so it wasnt easilly visible... Hed open it once car hit second gear ...It was awesome while it lasted...
Oh yeah and also I posted in the nitrous section on here once and someone said what the hell do you know you're only in the 12 second club....LOL Thats right who cares if I trapped 122.. or the fact that I didnt spray til 1/8th mile :eyes: I will never base my thoughts on a car by the motor I think is in it

Your are right!

i mean all my z28 badges are off, and the muffler cut off so they dont see duals...

im trying to find a cheap way to quiet down the car alot!

I drive the Grand Am Jul 23, 2005 11:55 AM

Slap RS badging and RS body kit on it... then get the stock RS muffler and piping out of it with an electronic cutout so right as you're about to run open up the cutout and go.

Here's one I've used before:

"It's just a stock lt1 with a hot cam and a 100 shot"

Think my new one will be:

"It's just an lt1 with a hotcam and S-trim, how fast can it be"
