I'm not giving out false information. I'm stating fact. I mentioned Casper
above. BTW...that car doesn't exist anymore.
I dunno if this guys name is Casper, but I do know the car he's running is a '95 Camaro, dubbed "The Fastest LS1-powered Street Car In the World".

Youtube is running slow as **** for me. I can't get the link to open.
I know that Paul Major is real close to 6's. He's run 205mph. Is there another car (two) that have run 6's now? Two isn't too bad I guess.

First off, those are not LS1 engines. Definitely not a LS1 block. LSx yes, but LS1 no. BIG difference.

Its possible....not likely (or cheap) but possible. get a reputable builder and the right parts and it will hold 1500+hp

A 200 shot is little?

And one more thing to note, the motor in that car is infact a 352-cube LS1 built by Wheel to Wheel.

(as do I) Personally I witnessed a supercharged ls2 gto and an svt cobra get into a good old fashioned acceleration contest last night, from what I could tell, the gto had him by a car.

I see you guys are comparing modular motors and LS1's in the 6's. My question is, what is holding back an LS1 from being a 6 second car while the 4.6 can do it?

You sold nothing, your stuck with that donkey forever... (bids=0)

To bad you didnt put your knowledge, money and mad turbo building skillz into a real car?



Edit: Btw I helped put a ebay turbo on my friends b16 hatch...all to get a whopping 197fwhp out of it...imports seem like a big waist of time and money to me.

And i thought the ta did pretty decent job of keeping up. He was only on 10# pounds. That kb cobra was BAMF. 22 psi is definitely going to get that 4v moving. Honorable death i think.

You mean like this one? Twin turbo cobra with 800whp @22psi. (Disregard the white car blowing by it)
