Default Ls1

well im pretty close to getting my first fbody. Its going to be a LS2 Trans Am, as soon as I can find the perfect one. My question is, what kind of mods would it take to beable to take a 91' stock vette? My friend's dad just bought him a 91 and he thinks that because the "spedometer goes to 200+ the actual car will get him there"

LS2 Trans Am? Are you swapping in an LS2 or something?

And any LS1 trans am will easily defeat a stock 91 vette by a large margin. You don't need any mods to do that.

Any LS1 would be the vette unless:
1. You accidently had your car in reverse.
2. You killed your car at the line.
3. You missed first second third fourth and fifth before realizing your in neutral.
4. You accidently run over the person who is starting the race.

1991 Vettes put down about 215rwhp. Any LS1 in decent condition is going to have a 70+ rwhp advantage. It might be close up to 40-50mph, but after that it's over.

91 Vettes had a 250 hp version of the L98. 300 hp LT1 didn't come out till 92.

What would you need to beat him? Uh, in a drag race? Um... a full tank of gas...
