my wife can be thanked for upping the stock m6 ls1 et haha. she was going 14.1s @ 99 the first few passes. then i convinced her to stay on the throttle and she eventually worked it down to a 13.4 @ 109 the same night. i wasn't expecting much. the car just had a lid and flowmaster weld in at the time, it would get down for being a 99 car. i drove it to 8.29 @ 88 in the 1/8th on street tires with those same mods. i'm sure it was over full weight due to all of the typical woman **** in the car. it's like she has to take her life everywhere she goes..
i've seen more 2v cars run 13s than 14s around here. they weren't heavily modded, i guess the drivers could drive.

And isn't it fun having a wife that loves to grab gears in a V8?

And no I didn't say I pick out the fastest one you douche. I said I look at the ones that I know run right. I don't think ls1's run 12's stock and I don't think they run 14's stock. I know how they should run when driven correctly because I have seen it and done it

And unit can get bent just like you if you can't see this simple concept. I don't even know why I participate in this discussion, it isn't the first time.. Very few understand what is actually being said.
Why you don't agree? You don't know the meaning of one small word, average.

Yep and your point? Are you pissed cuz my stock auto ran the same time as a manual car that you had to shift perfect in to get ur 13.5? And I just went out and did it my first time down the track. And than ran a 13.4 stock.

i watched one of my best friends run multiple 13.3x @ 103-104 in a bone stock 2000 b4c a4 car. he made 14 passes that night and i think like 11 of them were 13.3s. not bad for a da ~3000' and a car that had 135k miles on it.
this is the same car...the thread explains the rest haha.

Traction: Unless you can spin the tires at 50 mph or higher, than yes.
Torque: The amount of torque generated helps the car accelerate and overcome inertia. Once acceleration stops, a point is reached where the engine's horsepower continues the acceleration up to the top speed.
Driver Mod: Step all the way down on the gas and keep the steering wheel straight. I guess that does take some skill.
Weight: As stated above, the torque is used to accelerate. Once the inertia is overcome, the weight of the car does not matter as much. Aerodynamics and horsepower actually comes more into play at higher speeds.
This is how I always looked at it.

so you've never raced a car that had a better hp/weight ratio and won because he took 3 days to shift? or botched a launch...repeatedly.
about the weight comment...i lol. ls1 in a 4th gen fbody goes 105. same engine in an fc rx7 goes 115. gee, what's the difference? don't tell me the 2 are going to be neck and neck from 60 lol.
street race much?

Occasionally one will fall short and hit a bottom 14, occasionally one will rise above with a low 13. extremely rarely one with hit low 14s high high 12s.
I will bet there are more 14 second ls1s than 12 second. But lets count the 12 second ones cause they are perfect but ignore the 14 second ones because you guys dont like their times.
Yea, I spew bull ****. Lol

FWIW my first ever pass in my car it went 14.3 at 100mph w/ a 2.3 60ft. So if someone probably thought a bone stock 96-98 cobra is a 14 sec car all day. What they didn't see is I was able to get a 13.9 out of it once I figured out how to launch it. I'm sure during a nice sunny 55* day it would have ran 13.7.
My wife's stock auto'd 01' LS1 went 13.7. So I think that a 99-01 n/a cobra would be a drivers race.

If we want to play that game someone needs to ignore the DA let me have an "11 sec club" title. Real world and the racer's math world aren't the same.
I have never and likely never will see a bone stock (street tires) 2v GT in the 13s in OK, AR, MO, or northern TX.
