this race sounds about right on. i have a 95 LT1 Trans Am and when it had minimal mods and no stall i ran a 370z on the highway 70-120 and he slightly pulled me ..maybe a half car before i let out (wife in the car at 120mph wasn't very happy...lol)

R&T had the RX8 running 13.8@103. In reality, wasen't even close. They also said it made 245hp. The RX8 made a whopping 232. Because of this, there was a buy back program that Mazda had to follow through with.
Same mag had the Mazda speed 6 running 13.7@102 . That was inflated as well.
C&D had a S2000 run 13.6@104. Been to the track lately? 104? Sure.
I haven't picked up any magazines in a while. I got tired of looking at Jap cars run pristine times and domestics, with much more power, running times as if the track were wet.

yes.
from a dig or a low roll, a stall on an otherwise stock a4 fbody owns m6 guys even with full boltons.
i am not entirely sure i would expect to destroy a 370z from a highway roll in a stock ls1 a4 though. maybe gain ground back and pull a little, but no crazy bus lengths. i ran a newer bolt on 350z from a highway roll (dead spot at about 75mph I think) when I just had a catback and lid and it took longer than I thought it should. as I was killing it, I had to watch him make sour faces and even pound the steering wheel. Took a while, but eventually put 2-3 cars on by 110-115.

example.. according to motor trend, the LS1 fbody is a 13.8 second car that traps 102mph (skip to 2:30)

Of course this is the fastest Camaro I have ever seen tested by Motor Week.
The 1997 Camaro SS with the LT4 engine. 330HP and 340 lb/ft of torque.
0-60 in 4.9 seconds
1/4 mile in 13.2 seconds
Imagine what an experienced driver could do with this car. I doubt there is much of an aftermarket for these engines, but from what I understand it's just a modified LT1 engine, and the LT1 aftermarket is pretty big.

1. It was a convertible model (heavier) with the top down
2. The driver has down syndrome and looked like he never has driven a car before.
3. Its not even a real track.

Well it's actually the LT4 engine, and as they said in the video only 100 of those exist, so it's very rare. But they also said that an LT4 is based on the LT1, so I am guessing it just has better heads and cam and maybe a better exhaust. But yeah, for a slightly modified LT1 those are great times. That slightly modified LT1 runs with and should beat most stock LS1's.

When you say "stock," do you truly mean bone stock? Or "free mods?"
Actually, because of the C5's IRS the times are almost exactly the same.

Main improvements were the LT4 heads, cam, and intake, along with a compression bump to 10.8:1 (from 10.45:1). They would typically dyno around 300rwhp give or take, and had more grunt in the low end and midrange compared to a stock LS1.

The LT4 heads were 195cc that flowed in the vacinity of 240cfm. They had a similar cam as the LT1 but the LT4s came with 1.6rrs compared to the 1.5s of the LT1. The LT4 intake was also different. It had raised runners to accomidate the ports of the LT4 heads. That intake manifold flowed slightly better than an LT1. The LT4 also got larger injectors.
I think the bump in compression came from the valve relief in the pistons being more shallow than what it was on the LT1.
