Re-watch the videos buddy. Theres a noticeable difference with esp all the way off. He beat me and I beat him, it was dead even for the most part up until about 140 where he would start to pull a little. But that wasn't with my current mods I wasnt tuned back then. His car ran very good for his mods compared to other LS1 cars I ran back then. It takes a full bolt on, and tuned LS1 to run with me like that now

I ran a magnum that had I/cat back/tune...I pretty much walked out 3 cars and stayed there til about 135. Then we shut it down.
I had a moroso sticker in my glove box that gave me the advantage.

T-Stat/Tune are the best small mods for these cars. I gained 3-4mph on my traps once I added them

I'm not saying I didnt lose. Just don't expect an LS1 with those mods to beat a properly driven SRT8 everytime. Mannys LS1 is the only one I've raced back then that ran that close to me. From a slow roll it's dead even the higher the speeds went he would start a slight pull once we got to 130-140 I would stop his pull. Like I said I ran a member on here his car makes 350rwhp full bolt on and tuned from a slow roll on the street we are dead even. I put 1-2 cars on stock 5.0s and E92 M3s with my current mods. The tune woke the car up big time.

I haven't been as active on here or the other forums. I sold it over a year ago - a 75 mile commute was just a big waste of gas. Oddly, I was a little tired of such a big car too.

Another enthusiast, older but with a younger son bought it.

The Audi (a B7) is a little small but fits 4 with a good sized trunk, underpowered but at least keeping my sanity vs. a sub-200hp compact. Nicely refined but I LOVE the AWD for a daily driver. Even with low hp, not having to worry about traction manangement is awesome in the wet, around turns, leaves, etc. About 27mpg at 75mph.
