Strong rims on the ws6, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! Parasitic loss, jesus.

Good races though, if an auto 5.0 can hang that well from a roll, that's pretty good.

Nice job!!

As I mentioned in another thread-kids with a lid and exhaust are going to get their feelings hurt against one of these.....

Good job guys! I find it alittle funny that the battle for stock, street supremacy should be the LS3 vs 5.0 but the 4thGen LS1s are the ones waving the Banner and saying to Ford, "You can't have it"

I have no clue how they can be thinking a C5 Z06 is within reach. tsk tsk Lots of 5.0 owners are gonna be let down if they think along those lines.

M6 5.0 with the 3.73 gears or better and possibly a tune to get rid of any factory limiters...I can see a stock C5 Z06 being a good race.

Its modded LS1s against stock 5.0s genious. Why do you think its so amazing the LS1s win or barely lose? LOL

Niterider's WS6 just couldnt get traction in 1st gear and the 5.0 hooked really good so the weight savings wouldnt have mattered. Also, the 5.0 in stock form really seems to run better from a dig than a roll. Must be some computer trickery like alot of cars have that allow more power/less torque management style interference if they sense a 1/4 mile run ensuing.

One last thing: The WS6 had driven nearly non stop for hours and it wasnt possible for it to have been any more heat soaked- which no doubt came into affect while sitting at the line trying to line up and agree on stop points, etc. I would guess the Mustang handled the heat ALOT better than the WS6 judging by the disparity between dig and roll races? :shrug:

I think it did so well from a dig because it was an automatic as well. I always see autos yanking manuals out of the hole. I can't help but think those rims on that trans am are eating up at least a half car to a full car length.

So it's looking like lid and catback M6 f-bods are in the realm of stock auto 5.0's and then probably headers and a tune to be in the realm of the stock M6 track pack? Seems normal to me, the cars weigh roughly the same, so to hang we pretty much have to match HP

*edit* That's pretty impressive in the second dig, I can see the trans am jump a little before the 5.0 but it still just blows past. Nite, did you spin completely through first and hook in second, or did you spin through second as well, or spin only half way through first?

Hey, genious, the point of my post, since it obvisouly traveled well over your head, was that the 5.0 should be matched up with the LS3 Camaro, rather than a 13 year engine and finding something this closely matched after 13 years is pretty impressive in itself. With that being said, the 5.0 has a slight advantage but the fact that this 13 year engine/technology is giving it one H*ll of a fight with a VERY close and accurate representation of what could have been 13 years ago is why. People can say track prep or gears or whatever but the bottom line is not every 5.0 that you run into on the street or track is going to be optimally optioned or conditions or equal drivers so this is a controlled display of real life. Let's compare the last year the LS1 was made(2002) for the F-Body and compare it to a 13 year old Mustang and watch what happens.

the wheels looks heavy but they are not at all, I actually had this debate a while back with a friend of mine so we lifted up both and the 19's were noticeably lighter. but the funny thing is when I had them on my old car (2000 A4 WS6) before this one I went 12.7@110 with the factory 2000 WS6 wheels and I went 12.6@111 with the 19's????

Also I didnt spin from the digs you cant really tell but the car was bogging down and then taking off, Ive never had that happen before and me and sticks n stones are thinking that it was the heat, I drove the car almost 2 hours straight for that race and it had little to no cool down time.

Nice runs! LS1 still holds it's own.

I'm very impressed from the digs- You guys did a great job working this out and making a great video.

Looks like the 5.0, even the A6, is a good LS1 race, good job Ford-

The A6 and M6 all post very similar times and traps if I am not mistaken. The roll will always favor the M6.

Thats bull ****. The Cobra is quicker/faster on average than the 5.0... The Cobra isn't a race for the Z.

The Z on average traps around 115mph, no reason to compare that to a 5.0.. Not to mention after 100mph it would get real ugly, real quick.

They are pretty evenly matched with an ls3 camaro and the 5.0 has an edge.

Exactly what I said, my friends 2004 Bone stock Z06 back in missouri beat me by 3-4 cars everytime we raced. Also the guy with the 5.0 said he beat both Auto and Manual 2010 Camaro's by 1-1.5 cars everytime and the SRT8 challenger by 2-3

lol it was eather that or put my black ZR1's on with DR's and in 95*+ degree weather I guarantee I wouldn't have made it back home without breaking something on those runs.

Wow imagine that. That video shows a drivers race between the cars. And Ford guys dont go acting like a lid and catback add 50 hp. You mgiht be lucky to gain 10-15 with them, especially on a SLP or Suncoast car.

I expect some criticism, I've just never seen a ls1 go anywhere near 12.30's stock. I'm not sure what kind of wheel/tire package he ran to get the 12.37, but I will say it was in cleve's ohio, on a 90 degree humid day.

Nevermind:Found the video, I'l ask him what the da' was.

Lol really? Compare the 1/4 mile times/track times/ any times of the '11 ss and the '11 5.0. Nice try though, I always heard you guys loved your ls1's, but I had no idea you'd stretch the truth this far to just say they're still in the game. Again, I in no way shape or form do not like your guys' cars. To be frank, I love them capabilities/strength of them, but it's time to realize the mustang has FINALLY outdone the camaro...
