No he said he won in the thread.

This thread is highly entertaining. I can't believe I read the whole thing. It brings back 2002-era internet memories.

As for the OP, I believe it. Tuning will do a lot for these cars, especially when the guy knows what he's doing. I had a mail order tune, of all things, done to my car for my mods and the car is just a completely different animal. Almost runs a little too well actually.

Plus the new "fast" cars are really slow. 4100 lb curb weights being the norm, 20+ inch chrome wheels, drive by wire systems, not being able to fully disengage any type of traction control. All fail.

Why would the guy lie about mods? I dunno..I met a dumbass that was saying his Mustang was cammed, tuned by Saleen; I open the hood and theres not even headers in there LOL

But the thing is you said you beat a fbody trapping 119mph/ a cammed CTSv but boltons T/A by 2 cars with a boltons LS2 GTO. Non-sense to me except maybe the boltons T/A. Either youre lying, either you have more done to the car, either you have a factory freak which is a theory that only a few still talk about. Your weight reduction will not make it for it because my 4th gen is 3450 full weight. GTO are around 3700lbs

I would have hard time thinking that your car would spank my H/C/I SS...

...uhm... no!
Alot of this is wayyy off!

Cam only 6.1= 420-440rwhp
H/C 6.1= 450-480rwhp
Strokers=490-520rwhp

It all depends on the set up and dyno.

Most cam only full weight 6.1's will run mid-low 12's. H/C will run high 11's with some strong set up's running mid 11's. Strokers can typically run mid 11's all day with some of the stronger ones running low low 11's. Even had one NA stroker running 10.8's, but ive seen plenty weak strokers run high 11's also.

My car is cam only and a small one at that, and it only made 380rwhp on pump gas and 412rwhp on race gas. BUT my car will run mid 11's at full weight with good air and high 11's in crappy air all day long. This just goes to show you how much dyno numbers really mean. My cam only car thats technically only making bolt on dyno numbers is at the track running what some strokers are running.

That's a clear exaggeration. A tuned auto would give you a good run but most likely lose due to your weight reduction (or undisclosed mods).

The autos seem to be quicker than the 6speeds too.

Very impressive and with minor mods they do fly.
I assume that happened when you're modded? 140mph is well into 4th gear for the SRT-8s.

Which contradicts your statement above. I would expect an SRT-8 to start pulling you then. Is your gearing the same as a G8 GT/GXP?

The roof is a vital structural element. Just where exactly is your "panel" in relation to the body structure? BMW did that and it saved about 8lbs and barely lowered the COG.

Yeah right. Was the engine running in the 5.7?

It would take a bolt-on and tuned one to lose decently to the OP.

Your forgot to add stock Fbodys and GTOs run high 13s and trap 101-102mph "around here".

A first-gen CTS-V weighs about 200lbs less than an SRT-8 LX.

Um, incorrect. Driver's race. And if you're stock you're not gaining on any SRT-8 unless he was curious to see what he walked.

Low 13s is slow, 20" wheels are polished, drive by wire does suck, TC can be fully disengaged for racing.

It all depends on the set up and dyno.

My car is cam only and a small one at that, and it only made 380rwhp on pump gas and 412rwhp on race gas..
As you know, that dyno is off by about 30rwhp+. 400rwhp is then norm for tuned SRT-8s and I got 413rwhp on race gas. No cam.

The dyno I used 40+ times and seen god knows how many pulls with other cars from bone stock to fully built blown 8.3L Whipples is actually about 60-80rwhp lower than a typical dyno jet.

As you stated a full bolt on 6.1 can hit 400+ rwhp on a dynojet. Most bolt on 6.1's make about 320-340 on the dyno I use.

You really are stupid. A STOCK GTO? I've made stock GTO's, STOCK like you said, look like they were standing still. I've never raced a cammed one and I'd like to, though. Five more years until I'm eligible for antiques does it make you mad that my 15 year old car beats stock GTO's?

You beat a cammed ctsv(tuned, because untuned was a total rape) by between 3-4cars from some plp and 1-1.5 by the CTSV owner, youre door to door with that 119mph fbody and that LS2 vette.

So how fast do you really do the 1/4?
I beat a H/C/I CTS-v claimed 435rwhp. It was a 5.7. From First gear to about 130mph by less than 1 carlength.

I did not beat SRZ's H/C Z28. Although when he had an extra passenger I hung right with him until we stopped at about 120 where he was starting to move out on me.

I ran door to door with a Z51 LS2 c6 from 45-130.

My car has run a PB of 12.17 @ 113ish. I've trapped a high of 114.9. Of course the 12.17 was not on my stock tires. If you guys ever checked out the GTO forum these types of times have been met and surpassed by people with my mods (or less mods), and that it's really not that far from the norm.

Carry on...

That's great and all, but what these people "claim" to make, and what they really make are probably very different.

You are trying to play everyone here like they are retards or something. If you're beating H/C cars with what is claimed to be a header/tuned only LS2 Goat, then those must be some putrid H/C setups. I mean, really.

Nice kill, Juice. A 50 or so rwhp difference one way and a 700 or so pound difference the other way makes the results sound accurate to me, especially knowing how you bang gears.

What weight reduction do you have and how much do you weigh?

SRZ's H/C car made like 420whp I believe. The H/C/I CTS-V weighs a lot more than me and he claimed 435whp. Putrid setups? Nah. Squeezing every last hp out of each cube? Definately not. Solid setup, you betchya.

Dam all of juices threads remind me of how my friends with AMGs(few that were in the 11s) and modded 335s, basically took my motor apart to see if i was really stock after how close our runs were on the highway.

Or how a decently modded 05 STi ran me from a 10mph roll the day i got my car and started saying how i must have a HUGE cam and many other mods to be able to pull from a dig like that on him.

These cars are really underestimated and Ju1ce is right how hes not even the fastest around for his mods yet most people are in disbelief about how fast his car is for his mods.

My post may come off as biased but hey i bought my car for some of these reasons after all.

I was a passanger in the LS2 vette, and the kid had such bald tires we werent even getting traction in 3rd on a stock ls2 c6. (very stupid) But juice was right at the back bumper .

And juice has alot of weight removed from his car, few little things plus bumper supports shed off alot of weight...

....back to the O.P, I raced a srt8 6.1 300c with bolt ons, and I put a few cars on him easy from a roll he was amking 400whp 400wtq. (video is a few threads down)

Even with a cam I dont think the srt8 would of beat me. So this story from juice could be true..

Definately was not at the back bumper... And you act like my car was hooking and his wasn't. I spun just as bad.
And come to think of it, since that race I beat a half dozen LS2 C6's pretty easily. I bet he wasn't even stock...

you cut the video short in your editing. 4th gear the vette inches away but you cut the clip ...

But bald tires are no excuse he souldnt of raced.

and he was stock down to the paper filter.

Tonight would of been good. Seth said hell call you, But its raining I wont be out unless it magicly clears up.
