Default L99 vs S197

alright this has been a 4 month hunt for a 2010 SS to run me and it finally it happened haha..but it was the L99 though but thats all i could find. Well we went from a dig so a 0-120 and i was up by 3 1/2 cars when he shut it down....we both agreed that i had the dig advantage so we went from a 45 roll so a 45-120 run and it was the same thing 3 cars....these lengths are what he told me he was down by cuz i mean its hard to tell how far you where ahead if your in front by more than a couple of cars...so there it is im pretty sure the M6 LS3 would be within a 1 car length race either way do yall agree

Local guy with CAI, LT's Exhaust and tune went 12.22 @ 111 on Street Tires with his L99 auto. Bet the tunes really wake up the L99's.

It's in the title, "L99 vs S197". S197 would equal Mustang the new ones I believe, 05-10.

Exactly right. The stock tune on a L99 has WAY too much torque management. A good tune does wonders for that car.

Good kill. I've seen stock S197s pull 03/04 Mach1 times on the track with stock tires. DRs do wonders for them.

11.4 is not bad if he was on motor..considering the weight

good kill op..I've been considering a 3v GT..but I'd much rather have that motor in a fox
