That was a pretty modest response. Just know that the times that you're reporting are FAR slower than average.

Get you some drag radials on your car and I promise you will enjoy your car 100% more. If you daily drive it i. the rain etc., I would suggest the 555r radials.. not great for laumches but work just as good as street tires in the rain
Next time I buy tires I will have to look into them. I would just hate having to replace them all the time.

I keep saying something has to be wrong with the 5.0s here. I just don't know what it is. But then again, the ZL1 is "supposedly" an 11sec capable car 100% stock on street tires. It doesn't seem any faster than my SRT but it wasn't stock either. It does however produce better times even when I'm taking it easy. I guess I need to calibrate my butt accelerometer.

I wouldn't be surprised if mappins doesn't post here again. He got his **** pushed in after talking so much game. Pretty sure a gen II lt1 would give him a good race. Just have to tell the lt1 guy to go on the 2nd honk....

I haven't been very impressed with what I've seen out of ZL1s here. That being said, still wouldn't mind one now that the prices on them are coming down. Cooling cooling cooling mods, pulley down, cam, bolt ons, call it a day

Did I not say all along that the Tercel would kill his car?

My LT1 would have truly embarrassed that car.

Yep, your LT1 is right up there with Poppa. Maybe a bit more trap to Poppa.

Is there a "not a cobbled together car that runs stock times man" performance package that I don't know about or is that a extremely vague answer?

Mappins didn't even want to do a torque converter this year, so doubt he will have the money or do what the #TeamDug recipe for success suggests.

That's my point, car runs as it should for the mods he has done. Full weight, stock converter 4l60 car with full exhaust/intake/tune.

He either needs a lot of money, or too
Start stripping the car down to
Have a chance at poppa's catback/tune/tire bro.

Either way the Camaro will be heavily modded from stock while the mustang is
Not.

Thankfully he has the stock M6 3.42 rearend. I wouldn't even want to see how this went down with a 2.73 or 3.23 auto rear end

He must just be practicing his right to remain silent. Anything he says or does will be held against him in a court of SRK law.
