Today I was on HWY6 when I see a black LT1 that I used to race back when I had my old 98 Motor, he used to be able to get me as I would be going into 3rd and basically walk away from me. Well, I wanted to see what would happen this time now that I got the 2001 Motor in the car. I pulled into a gas station and asked him what he has and whatnot, it was an auto, with 3.23 gears, Edelbrock LongTube Headers, "Modified" TB?, Moroso Cold Air Intake, and a Hooker Cat-Back. He said his best time was a 13.8@101, and that he was spinning when he ran that time. He went into the station to get me and when he came out I told him to follow me to a nice strait away so we could get some runs in.
As we approach the stop sign I tell him to get rolling and I will honk 3 times, we get rolling about 10-15MPH and I get on the horn, threw 1st gear I jump out about a car and when I pull down to 2nd I pulled another car and then I was super cool and missed 3rd gear. He passes me up and gets on the brakes, I never got into 3rd gear just stoped at about 70MPH with a 2 car lead.
Next he wants to go from a dead stop, so I kinda heat the nittos a little and line up with him, when I line he says DAMn, your car sounds bad man, I told him his car sounded good too. he said he is selling his car and getting his dads 35th Aniv. GT in the next month or so. Anyway, so I count to 3 and we hit it, well, it was a little dirty out and the nittos didm not hook at all, I spin all the way to the rev limiter in 1st and slamed 2nd gear as hard as I could, I jumped out about a half a car while spinning into 2nd but once it hooked I started to pull, at 70 I had about a car and a half on him, and in 3rd I just walked away, stoped at about 90 with about 3 full cars on him. He said he wanted to go again when he gets his GT, he said it had flows and 4.10's and that is was alot faster than the old LT1, his LT1 was pretty nice. It was black, with the sald shooters powdercoated black with a polished lip droped about a inch and a half, pretty nice car

 

good kill

 

Nice kill

 

Nice kill.... fun to toy with the weaklings right jon

tomorrow maybe we can see jimmy vs billy..... i hope it doesnt rain tomorrow like it did all night here!


Gray

 

doesn't surprise me that the guy's only trapping 101mph, edelbrock headers are shorties (not LTs), and probably the worst aftermarket LT1 headers you can buy... needless to say, good job schooling him.

 

your second gear went to 70mph with 4.10 gears??

 

nice kill, i was messing around with a lt1 tonight. he kept agging me on, so i gave him a taste. after that he didn't seem like he was wanting to go as bad

 

I think I know that guy with the black LT1...was a Formula? Hispanic lookin guy..i forgot his name, but his last name is Morales. He works at Academy...he use to always tell me that he could take my car


EDIT: his name is RYAN...i just remembred

 

Nice .... I

 

My 2nd gear is done by about 55-60 with 4.10's I can pull 3rd to about 85ish and not sure about 4th.

 

Hmmm, I didn't see anywhere that said he had 4.10s. He said that the other guy wanted to race when he gets the GT with 4.10s.
