Heres what I think happened.
You jumped and he played began persuit. A friend in a V6 mustang used to do this to me all the time. He'd start 5-6 cars back, hammer it, then I'd have to run him down. He'd say "I had you up to 100!".... When he had no shot in hell since I'd scream past him seconds later after I went.
I'm sceptical. Were talking about a mid 13 second car vs a low 12 second car... See where I'm going with this? I know the LS1 F-bodies are built by god himself, but something doesnt add up. I dont see how a low 12 second car loses to a mid 13 second car.

^^^honestly those paddle shifted cars aren't all what people think. I've driver 3 paddle shifted cars and they all did that laggin thing after each shift. Like they loose momentum after each shift.
Question: for u guys that have ran the quarter mile with stock gearing.up to what gear did u get up to? This question is for the near stock

100% sure it was a 430. It said 430 on the side mirrors. Like I said, maybe it was the driver. I know how to drive my car very well, and when I take my car to the 1/4 mile I'm aiming for an upset. And earlier I said I've never ran another LS vehicle but now I remember I did. It was a stock Ls z28 a4 and beat it by 3 cars off a dig
my friends don't think I can.
