F-Body vs C5Z I was minding my own business traveling down the freeway in vegas when I see headlights fast approaching from the rear. The vehicle got up besides me and I noticed it was a red Camaro (assuming LS-1). He slowed to my speed as he got next to me. It was at that point, I heard a distinct spooling sound, but figured what the hell.
We got one good run against each other from about 60-125. Needless to say, I got walked pretty damn hard. This Camaro was fast.
Anyways, My close to stock 2003 C5Z (intake + tune + dr's) had its *** handed to it.
Nice kill.

No shame at all. I'm a car guy and don't claim any brand or model loyalty. I pretty much knew I was gonna get beat but wanted to see how fast this Camaro was.
I was impressed.

I can't even imagine how fast a single or dual turbo LS1 setup would be. I've seen a few in here that have said setup. Might even be someone in here that beat the OP.
Nice death?

Noble death.
A SC'd LS1 Camaro was running 12.0s @ 120mph at Sears Point. I guess it was a Vortech?, it was sitting down low, couldn't really see it with the hood open. That was an impressive set-up too.

At least. By the end of the run, he had me by about 6-8 car lengths. I would be cool if the owner was a member here. I'm real curious as to what he has under the hood.
