I would get a 96-98 Cobra and slap an 8 psi blower with 373s/410s and the usual bolt ons. Nice fast street car

What do you guys think would happen between me vs a cammed ls6 ctsv? Would have to either be one of two of my runs..dig or a 4500rpm roll in 1st gear. V has longtubes and a cam. That's all I know.

You until around 110-115 mph then hes gonna roll passed you pretty hard. Is it a stick. If its an auto you might lose straight up. If its a stick, his irs is going to cost him

If he can't pass me by then it's over. I'm not going to run into 5th gear. All LS6 V's were 6 speeds.

This sounds about right. Your best bet, Stoppy, would be a dig. I think he'd give you some serious business on a roll. On a dig, I'd give it to you. The V1 is notoriously difficult to get off the line hard.

This. Both LS6 and LS2 Vs are all 6 speed sticks.

I have yet to get anyone to agree to run me from a dig. I doubt this will be any different.

Then get a first gear roll. Try not to get a 60 roll.

From a dig, I'd put money on you. The V1s are notorious for doing this from a dig:

So unless he's beefed up the rear or has an 8.8 or 9, there's a big chance he's going to have a bad time off the line.

Hate how weak the V1 diffs are. Besides that, they are awesome cars for the money nowadays!
