98 Cobra vs 02 Camaro This happened last weekend.
My car:
98 cobra
4.10 gears
o/r -x pipe
K/N filter
stock tune
His Car:
02 Camaro
level 5 RPM 4l60e
Yank 4000
Lid/filter
Pacesetter headers
SLP exhaust
Well we all cruising on the highway in Mexico and he ended up lining up next to me at one point so we decided to play around a little and have some fun. I figured it would be a good race between us but thought he would have the edge with the stall in his car.
We line up from a 40 roll and pace each other, He honks it off and we go on 3. I immediately jump out a half car probably because his auto and my gears. I run 2nd out and powershift 3rd and gain another half a car, continue and powershift 4th as well and gain hardly nothing maybe a 1/4 of a car... we continue and halfway through 4th he is starting to creep back just barely and then 120 is here and I have to shut down because thats the end of 4th and I'm ahead by about a car.
It was a fun race and really close... Afterwards, he came up to me and must have been a little bitter and said I'll have something for you in a month and we can go again lol. So being the smart *** that I am I said You better be putting a cam in it if you want to pull me in a month otherwise you will see tail lights again.
Normally I wouldn't say something like that to anyone but him saying that to me the minute he got out of his car rubbed me the wrong way. Funny thing is he doesn't know I have nitrous on my car so he will be surprised ha.
Cliffs: Go back to school and yell at your teacher because you can't read

I have never had the car on a dyno so I don't know but I have gone to the track with the exact set up as when I raced him except I was on slicks and I went 12.89 @ 106. I know my car isnt as fast as most of the ls cars but it holds its own.
I think its faster now that I changed the oil and put straight Lucas oil stabalizer in instead!

$100 says the LS1 was really an LT1 with a converted front end. Either that or, you didn't get a good enough look at the front bumper and assumed it was an LS1 when in reality it was an LT1.
Either way, Good kill on the LT1.
