Well Im a pretty good driver. I know how to drive this car to it's upmost potential. Maybe my driving bitch slaps physics who knows. All i know is that I walked away from this LS1.

Bro, you have an automatic car. All you do is mash the gas and go, there is no driver skill involved from a 40mph roll. I can see racing from a dig requiring some sort of pedal finesse to get the best launch, but from a highway roll if you can move your foot down and hold the steering wheel straight, you can drive the car as good as anyone else on this planet.

You are delirious if you HONESTLY think your car is 4-5 cars faster than a full bolt on LS1. It's pretty easy to walk away from an LS1 when the other kid is not racing or missing gears.

I'd bet he couldn't put 5 cars on my junk and I'm barely faster than I was stock.

So you wanna let us know where you live so we can find a real LS car to race you? If you live anywhere close to me I will show you how an LS car should run. Now I'm thinking about it I bet you raced a 3.8 v6 camaro with bolt-ons LOL

Lmao...I daily drive a S/C 3800...they're peppier than a normal car (say a taurus or a neon? lol), but nothing really special...The guys over on the regal forums often times have to run slicks once they're into the 12's because they don't hook up worth a ****. Hell, my stock GS won't hook up on new street tires.

If you raced someone in an "LS1 SS" with bolt ons that "runs 10's" and you beat him by 6 lengths, in reality you probably raced a V6 car He obviously knows nothing about cars.


More about you driving through a walmart parking lot racing a maxima though...what exactly happened there? This sounds entertaining

The amount of driving skill it takes to operate a 13 second automatic GTP is amazing. You must have some mad driving skills that do indeed bitch slap the laws of physics. Impressive!

Yo bro, don't be hatin'. You don't understand that the slower the car is the more skill it takes to drive, especially when it's an automatic. pssssh

Exactly! I've heard the gtp's accelerator isn't the easiest thing to push down. Not to mention how long it takes for it to pick up speed you have to have serious skill to not fall asleep.

id like to know mods on OPs gtp. i have a xp cammed gtp (xp cam 3.2 pully headers tuned) and raced a buddys 99 ss his car was a m6 ls1 with ls6 intake, headers and tuned we raced many times for fun and every time he would pull me by about 3-4 cars. unless OPs car is a high comp bottom end car with a gen v and inter cooler running a tiny pulley i blame driver of the ls car haha. at best a gtp with stock heads and compression is only good for about 340-360 whp

lol idiot. do you realize that youre claiming to have put 6 cars on a mid-low 12 second ls1 FROM A 40 ROLL (absolute worst spot for your car) with your heavier, sub 300whp/2.93 geared v6 that falls flat on its face after 1st gear? you cant be that naive lol. or can you? if you think that your ''driving skills'' would have anything to do with this race then you need psychiatric help.
