14' 5.0 vs 5G SS 1LE With all the recent smack talk and the current "squabble" with the ol' lady, I was able to get away and go cruising for a bruising... Ran into a guy with a 14' M6 5.0. Was able to get a couple of runs with **** traffic, but we made it work.
I did some small changes since last time I ran the car. Seems to be a little peppier.
30ish rolls.
Video angle is not the greatest but 1st run, was about even until I had to get on the brakes due to traffic. 2nd run, Id say I was a little over half a car ahead until I had to hit the brakes again due to the biker that snuck by us.
We ended up pulling over and talking and was surprised when he popped the hood and told me bis mods. Cool guy.
5.0 mods: CAI / BOSS manifold / Shorty Headers / Catback / 4.10s.
SS mods: CAI / Full Exhaust.

Lol... Id say so.... It all comes down to attention to detail and owner...IMO.
Thanks man. TBH, I wish I would have went with Corsa instead of SW. I still think its too quiet. :/
Thanks man. Its tough to see but he was right next to me in the first run, until I had to brake due to traffic up ahead. Second run, I was able to get about half a car on him before having to shut down, thanks to the biker that went around us.
Last time I ran the car, I had CAI, LTs and a ported TB. I ended up taking off the ported TB (always felt like it didnt do squat or maybe even weakened the car) and now have full exhaust (cats deleted, and 3" catback along with the LTs) I also went to back to stock size rear tires, 285/20s, previously I was running 305/20s.

Thanks guys, I guess I should be a little happier with the sound...
Now, as far as the "1LE" being some sort of unicorn vs the standard SS, that is not the case. The regular 5G is just as capable, if not better suited for drag / roll racing. The only area where the 1LE is superior, is the handling department.
