I smell F-Body hate. A LT1 might be a joke nowadays, but back when they were new, there was very little that could run with them. The same thing can't be said for the Mustang.
The SN95s got utterly destroyed by an equivalent year Camaro. The 5.0s were just heavier Fox Bodies and the 96-98GTs....lol I'm not even going to go there.
I'm talking stock form as well. IMO, once mods get thrown into it, its a useless bench racing argument with the winner being the person who has more $$

lolz my friends Auto ws6 with a "built" a4 tranny and cat back and free mods i think lost to an i/catback 2006 si so yeah.
He swapped to a t56 then he added longtubes and other stuff but it still lost to a friends evo that was off a tooth of timing lol.
That evo lost to a minor bolt on solstice and that same solstice added more mods to later lose to a bolt on k-swap integra which was slow as hell compared to all the other k-cars here.
Lot of bench racing but Just to give you an example of how slow that LTx ws6 was.
That LTx was godly fast compared to an SN95, there was one at our HS he used to pick on all the time when it was catback free mods only. **** was funny.
What was the race with the LS1 to? was it from a dig?

Dig run - back when I had the car I usually ran from a dig
Good kill OP!
I always LOL when I hear people call LT1's "turds" when infact they were faster than any car in their class and just as fast or darn close to many of the more expensive cars of that time (I.e. Supra TT, 3000GT VR4, 300ZX-TT, RX7, MR2 Turbo etc.). I remember like it was yesterday the look on naysayers faces when my '96 SS walked right pass them. LOL

Nice! I'd be curious to see what she throws down on a dyno and what you could run at the track with some seat time
This
I know of a few local Iowans with H/C LT1s that would hurt some feelings

That LT1 has to be running like ****. I had no problems with dad's Solstice GXP, bolt-on S2Ks and even a few turbo Civics and H22 hatches (granted they could have been running like **** too - the S2ks I know the drivers were just fine)

Those cars perform very well. Make sure you aren't asleep at the line

Id love to dyno it but just haven't, and supposedly the cobra has beaten the v6 mustang but I wouldn't count on it. We all (the group of friends) are actually going to be going to the track here every other Wednesday once school gets out, so ill see what times I get. Ive never raced at a track before so it should be fun.

It did hook n' book on the street though. Most guys around here are pretty cool with going from a dig. I gained a lot of respect to the Honda bros around here who would and quit using traction as their excuse.

I liked them a lot. The guy who bought the car from me and sold it for a 01 ws6 is still using them. Not sure how many miles he has on them as he has 2 projects going on but they appear to have a decent amount of tread life left.
I'd highly recommend them for a DD car that you want some extra traction with and they do perfect in rain. If it were up to me though, I'd still find a set of more sticky tires for the drag strip runs

Actually I have the "college kid" mod, so I'm not completely stock
Edit: I also have the Sumitomos, they're actually not bad in warm weather. They suck under 50 degrees though.

Good runs! Something to be said about the excitement of the "slow" races from the early days when the cars were all almost stock and you're still trying to see what it can do.
Your friend had mechanical or electrical issues, or it was the slowest WS6 to ever roll off the assembly line. A bone stock 150k mile LT1 running like **** on bald tires should still beat an 06 si.
