Default 3v < LS1

Ran into a guy I used to work, we were at the same redlight and he rolled down his window and said "How ya like my new car?!!" And rev'd a little bit. Anyways we took off like normal then around 60 he downshifts and takes off getting a two car jump, but I chased and put 2 cars on him by 110 ish. Then we slowed down and did a 40 which is another bad spot for me (dang 2.73s) its the bottom of second, anyways I gave him the hit and as soon as I hit it I started to pull right away, let off around 100 ish with about 2 cars..I didnt wanna keep going and rub it in or anything. After that he waved and went on his way... It was a very clean red color, had a exhaust and I dont know about anything else. Anyway's Ive been itching to race someone!! I havent raced in awhile so I figured I post up. This thing did impressed me, even though my car doesnt do anything from a roll (3800 converter) it stuck in there for a second. Anyways I know you guys love vids so Im gonna try to set something up here soon

Sweet run. 3V's are strong little motors. Definately don't have the top end of an LS1 but they hold thier own, especially with bolt ons. They wake up pretty good with an intake, exhaust and tune. I'd love to see a vid too!

Those cars respond well to mods, for sure. Good kill. So-long 3V Mustangs, R.I.P. (2005-2010).
