Default so I raced a ls1 tonight

well I was just cruisin around enjoying the nice weather and an 02 Z28 pulls up next to me we mess around a little bit and I ask him if he wants to go from a dig... He said yes(wrong answer on his end I had my draglights on lol) so we go from a dig and I pull a car and a half all the way through 4th gear...

just thought my fellow LT1 guys would enjoy this

Congrats. Yesterday I was on my tricycle and lined up with a kid on a 16" bike. Pulled a car on him.

Lies an LT1 can only beat an LS1 if one or more of the following is true:

The LT1 has an aftermarket cam and the LS1 does not.

The LT1 has ported or aftermarket heads and the LS1 does not.

The LT1 has a power adder and the LS1 does not.

Oh I know it pisses me off too. Especially the thinking that full bolt on (exhaust, intake, tune, gears, clutch or stall, rockers, and electric water pump) LT1s cannot beat bone stock LS1s. Or even full bolt on plus mild cam LT1s cannot beat bone stock LS1s.

My friend posted a video of her cam only LT1 racing a cam only LS2 goat and it was too funny because the cars were dead even. And I mean dead even, it looked like they were standing still. I was the passenger video taping it. Lots of people on this very forum called BS still even with video proof.

Haha yeah 02wife called out LT1's saying "H/C LT1's couldn't make it into the 11's even if they were trailered to the track. Find me LT1's that can beat me."

To the above I just did a face palm and called him out on it. You'd figure with Livernois tuned, full bolt-ons, ported ls6 heads, a 230+ duration cam with ~.590 lift, 3.42's, and 3600 stall could make it past 11.9@115mph

marc97taws6, ya i just got done reading that in the street kill section. LMAO he got something seriously wrong with his setup or a horrible driver.

It wouldn't be impossible for cam/nitrous LT1 to get into 11's

I just recently took 2 ls1's down on the street as well. Both had intake and exhaust. Both were cocky before the race but didn't have much to say afterwards.

Having said that I hope to sell my car and own one soon

I love it myself, its a huge part of the joy of owning an LT1!!!
and anything can happen on the street, before I had my cam I put a car length on an LS2 gto from 55-100
