So now that we have that clear I would like you or GTOspeed boy or whoever explain how a bolt on LS1 only trapped 110mph. Not that it really matters but I think its entertaining that you guys look at it from only one side.

Oh and that same night a red LS1 (not sure what mods) was running 14's @ 101mph.


Trap speed > ET fo life yo!!!!!!!!!!!!
So your telling me accelerating harder sooner for the whole length of the track won't increase trap and lower et? So far when my 60' drops I go faster....and I've got some room to grow

I stopped worrying about what others run with their ls1's. I can get them to go pretty good and have backed that up. Some people will never get the results they should. Anybody that has a ls1 running 14.1 should not even be driving.....should not even own a car. Those dumbasses like guitar should ride public transportation.

While I agree that Guitar should stick to sitting in the stands while clapping and yelling..I think Sepno did pretty well for what we were given that night. I literally bought some used ET Streets and threw in some gears to get revenge. However neither of our cars or any car that night were performing at peak performance. Ah hell, what's the point... carry on.

Which lighter car has more whp... mang you losing me. And you seem to have this thing against GT500's. Butthurt by one? I am not in here talking down about any cars.. even talking about the C6Z.. I acknowledge they are a sweet car. I give props where its due. You on the other hand, seem to have this inbred hate for anything other than GM products. you sir, need to open your eyes and mind a little more.

A quick car is a quick car, regardless of whether it has to make more rwhp because it is heavier, or needs less because it is lighter. I like racing because it is fun, and only because it is fun.. I do not do it to downtalk another persons ride.

My car is most definitely fast. Period. And your 386rwhp T/A should be fast too. As a matter of fact, I have always loved the Trans Am's.. owned a 95 Vert, and am not biased for or against any particular make.

Lol..... this thread is awsome!!! I don't have a dog in the fight I quess because my mach is down for a couple more weeks but damn we need to stop talking on a forum and do some runs.... like I said earlier if we do some kind of meet it would allow some of you prove your points. Bolt on ls1 should be faster then bolt on mach 1 then lets prove it.... I have a vid of my mach when it had cai/4.10s/cb and drag radials running 12.9 @ 108 ar darlington.

Better yet why should a 292rwhp Mach on bias ply tires trap higher than a 340rwhp ls1 on the same night? Just curious....
You are hard headed. And no, my name is not Nostrafukingdamus, so I do not KNOW without a shadow of a doubt what your Mach will do. I do know it will not run an 11.99 unless you have dropped weight, or done a whole hell of a lot somewhere else. And that 11.5 dream you have, yea...spray it and lie to us when you figure it out.

How does a 340 RWHP LS1 trap 110 and a your Mach trap higher? Well, first off I had no idea you ever trapped +111 MPH, and second...how do you explain my tune/exhaust/lid automatic LS1 trapping 114 MPH and running 12.22 with less than 350 RWHP on STREET TIRES? Its called experience, thats how it happens.

I said "after the 1/8th idk" because I DONT KNOW. I look like Madam Cleo to you? All I can do is speculate, just like you or anyone else on this and any other forum. Grow the hell up son, seriously.

No reason why his mach couldn't run a 11.5 on motor if he starts adding parts.

Don't worry, one day you will learn to drive down the 1/4 too, then you might actually run better than a high 12 in that GT500. In the meantime, yes, shut the *** up.

So you don't know what it will run but you know it won't run 11s unless I dropped alot if weight or added a whole bunch of ****...interesting.

I was only asking what you thought it would run because of your extensive Mach 1 knowledge and you have already figured it out. Would save me alot of wear and tear if you would tell me so I could just go ahead and put the times in my sig instead if waiting.

And for the last time I have no idea why your modded AUTOMATIC ls1 with more mods ran slower in the 1/8 than my car.

It ran one tenth slower in the 1/8th because I was on street tires and pulled a 1.9 60...meaning you had to launch the absolute *** out of your Mach on slicks to do the same thing. You also want to leave out the fact that my car was still making the same power as that LS1 you saw run 110 mph, which was the whole point in me bringing up my ET so stop trying to deflect and admit that 340 rwhp LS1 you saw run is not representative of what a 340 RWHP LS1 can do, lol. I have already proven otherwise with my own car.


Thats right, I don't know if it will run a 12.24869 or a 12.5799, but I DO know that Mach isn't going into the 11s without major weight loss or nitrous oxide. I've already told you good luck and I truly hope you prove me wrong. Get over yourself man.

Sepno had a bad night at the track....period. He wasn't driving well. Free mods get these cars to the 12's. headers are not needed. Drag tires are not needed.

Notch is parting out his car......it's shame to. I guarantee we coulda go it to 11.4's. Headers really woke it up. With a little chassis work and some wr it may have went faster than that.

Uhh, yea man...I beat your current best with that GT500 by well over half a second and I did it on the stock stall, street tires, and MAYBE 330-340 RWHP, lol. Kind of puts things into perspective doesn't it. I so mad....

Man, some funny sh*t in the last two pages! We should have these conversations at a bar while everyone is trashed. I could only imagine the funny sh*t that would come out then!
