LT1 Race Well, I got into a race with a 97 Z28 M6. (I have a 94 A4 Z28) His car was stock and he was a good driver. We went from 50-115 and I beat him by about a car and a half. I didn't think this made much sense. Not only does his car have 10 more hp, but it was an M6 and they have higher trap speeds. I would think from a roll I would get beat. My car is modded though. I have a moroso CAI, LT4 KM, LT pacesetter headers and underdrive pulleys. All he has is a K&N. Still, I would think up top he would pull a bit. I thought the 94 A4 Z28 quarter mile was about 97-98 while a 97 Z M6 was about 101-104. Am I right?
I should show you guys the video I made. Anyone have a quick server I can upload it to?

By the way, the video is too large. The max size is 25mb and my video is 34mb.

Click here for the video
The race with the Z is at the end. I couldn't get the view from when we first started, but I started pulling right away and that was the result. Also, the GT that I raced in the video had full bolts and dynoed around the same Rwhp as the mustangs comes stock to the crank. He runs 8.7's on the motor in the 1/8. It's pretty obvious he gets the hit the first two times. In the third race we both hit it at the same time, but you can hear me spinning a bit. (He has DR's) Actually, I think I spin in every race except for the 2nd run against the GT and the run against the Z.

Glad to see your car actually runs now. Thread Starter

Nope, that was before the timing chain snapped...I took my car to a different mechanic and I'm going to find out the update tomorrow. I saw the pushrod that was bent though. There was one that was bent and the chain just completely broke. Also, one of the gears was missing a tooth. Most likely, that had something to do with the incident. Hopefully only one valve is bent. I would think it would just be the one where the pushrod was bent. I'm not sure though...
