WRX Kill Just picked up a 2000 Trans Am M6 on new years day and stopped by my friend’s house today to show it off. He has a 03 WRX Sedan, and of course, after letting him drive it he wanted to race. So we both merged onto I280 line up next to each other at about 65mph we both nail it and by 115 or so I had pulled about 15 cars lengths. Man I love the LS1 torque. We raced again back the other way to his house, same out come I pull about a car length every few seconds on him. He did not expect to win but I think he was surprised how much he was smoked by.

What do you mean we got no torque? I usually light my tires from a 10 mph roll for a few feet. At work I wanted to show a coworker the power of an LS1 and burned them for 50 feet, at which time I started fishtailing and backed off. That takes torque baby!!!

Sarcasm aside, though our cars make good torque numbers, the contrast in torque to horsepower is a bit different than the days of say, an L98. My friend's '89 Iroc was good for 240hp@4400 345tq@3200. That car would make an instant imprint of your back into the seat when the throttle was dropped.
So, experiencially, our cars seem to be lacking in the torque department. That's all.

I guess my friend could have backed off earlier than i did? But I know when he was in front and we both nailed it i was pulling a car lenght every 2-3 seconds or so on him from 45-100
