Any stock LS1's run an E38 BMW 750iL? A kid I grew up with thinks he is hot **** in his E38 BMW 750iL (thats a '94-'01 model) it has a V8 and an A5 transmission. I don't know anything about the car specs, weight etc, other than the power output rating, 282hp and depending on year 310-324lb ft.
I would assume this boat of a car weighs plenty more than a 99 Firebird does and the stock ls1 powered car would maul the BMW but just want to be certain before I make any comments to him and have to prove to him that his V8 BMW isn't all high and mighty in the speed department.
Side note:
I know the newer ones 02-present have 7 series that are anywhere from 6 cylinders to V12's and the V8s and up make good power so those stock for stock might beat an LS1 but they probably still weigh more.

Haha yeah I think I can handle that, even being an A4 on street tires with 2.73's...
There is another kid we both know that has a 99-04 Mustang GT with bolt-ons that supposedly makes 300whp. I'd like to run him too, another friend of mine had more work done to his 04 GT I think and he only made 288whp and had a best 1/4 that was over a 13.5 second pass.

Well I just spent 10k on the car so I don't really have a budget for mods right now. It has a catback. I'm hoping to get a lid asap, everything else will have to wait :/

I missed that, thanks for the link. I wish Summer wasn't almost over, if I could work 2-4 more weeks here at my internship I could buy an intake manifold, TB, LT headers, and Y-pipe all at the same time and tune it. That would make things much more interesting for these match ups.
Surprisingly I haven't had any imports try to screw with me yet at I remember and I've had the car a month and a half!

So in the mean time just doing some appearance mods and I had some cash left over and did a lid w/ k&n couple months back but I really CAN NOT wait to do these mods so I can really appreciate the car (even though I still do 
), but in due time I guess

If you cant afford mod's focus on driving the **** out of it.practice your launch and shift points.Also look into changing the crappy shocks/springs and add some lower control arms and subframe connectors into the mix.These make a world of difference in your cars handling.

I have lower control arms at a friends house waiting to be installed. I try not to drive it too much, 1 because I have to pay for gas for two cars and 2 because I want to keep the mileage down for long term mods (i.e. cam, possible FI or nitrous)
