01 Camaro SS test drive (comparison to LT1)

I dyno'd 224 rwhp with just a catback and a K&N intake, not to mention the 319 rwtq. the torque is probably the only thing that keeps me up with cars from low rolls, I do get pulled on top end by LT1s but not by much, LS1s on the other hand pull me pretty good.
The LT1 that I beat was an automatic with exhaust and probably a K&N or some other form of CAI, when I say I beat him pretty good it's not like I destroyed him. What happened was it was a 30-35 roll and I jumped out a car ahead and just barely started to get away up til about 70-75 then it stayed even and by about 90 I was slowly losing my lead.
You're actually pretty close about my trap speeds in the 1/4, I ran a best of 13.72@100.7 MPH with a 1.97 60'. Another thing about my trap speed in the 1/8 mile, I actually ran a 9.04@79.6mph in the 1/8 mile before my drag radials with like a 2.176 60' time, so I actually trapped higher before my drag radials for some reason or another.
But rest assured, I won't be a turd gen mullet guy for long, because I'm selling my third genner and buying a new 6-speed SS

The reason why you trapped higher before putting drags on was because you was spinning and spinning tends to raise your mph a bit. When you put the drags on, you was hooking and your time went down but so did your MPH. Ask anyone who's put slicks on their car, they will tell you their time went down but so did their mph since they gained traction.
Good luck with the SS.

I just prefer the updated front end. And you get to put halos on the headlights....which I love.( and have) Also....the grills look much better when you go billet IMO
I think it is mostly the stock rims that kill those cars.....they belong on the v6 only...I dont know what in the hell gm was thinking with the shooters.
But a bone stock 93-96 z28 with shooters wouldnt make me turn my head in the least bit...just not a very striking car at all.
I guess I went overboard with the hidous thing....its an f-body....so I like them all....sorry man

Be safe. 
I wanted a 91-92 L98 with all my heart for the longest time. Just sucks they never came with a manual.
They are more rare than a damn lamborghini in my area. I may have seen 3 or 4 in my lifetime around here.
I would give anything for a nice clean black 91-92 z28 with an ls1 6 speed. I almost had one that was in tennessee and they wanted 8 grand for it....but I couldnt come up with the money in time
My dream car.... black 91-92 z28, lowered an inch or two with chrome zr-1's, ls1 and 6 speed, true duals. One day....one day
Yeah...I think the cars look much smoother without them on. Most call them sidemoldings....but yeah they will help prevent door dings.....but I never park next to anyone.

Verdad Gallardo Full bolt ons except for sticky tires, electric water pump, and a torque converter. Once I get those I'll be about a 12.6. The WS6 I beat last night had a short throw with a lid, and the SS had a catback and a lid. Yeah I have an A4
I had a full tank of gas and everything in the interior. I wonder what I would have run with a 1/4 tank of gas and a gutted interior.

Lt1 Vs Ls1 I have a93 speed density Z-28 a4 cai 58 mm tb flow master exhuast ran a 13.53 at 101mph. I like this year because you can manually shift that year was the only non electronic transmission.The LT1's stock for stock are slower but I would say with my mods my time is about on par with a stock Ls1 car. Me personaly the Lt1 cars are btter looking in the front. The ls1 looks like a cat fish in the front J/K 
I think the front end of both leave a lot to be desired.
Both cars look much better with a nice hood.
As for the catfish thing....whatever....you lt1 guys wont be seeing much of that anyway...and the rear of the cras look about the same.
