right but compared to MOST 5.0s 4.6s (not mach 1s haha) it is a lot faster, but thats not all i just need to update the sig and i will soon as i get a new timeslip. and you arent "blazing" for a 5.0 either bud
until i hit 2nd or 3rd, then its bye-bye
...one of those type of 5.0s minus DRs raced my brothers int/exh a4 lt1 and lost by a couple of cars

For the record, my 90 model will get some 14.1-13.9s and its wore out with CAI ,exhaust and 3.73s.....your LS1 should kill those times. My 90 model wont blaze nothing, but if you say my blue car wont, think again. 7.04 is with a road gear, I took out my high gear cause it killed the ET.

Most 5.0 owners seem like they have something to prove. That something is that they are better than camaros. I have a 91 z28 with bolt-ons(headers,exhaust,k&n,etc) and they still try to tell me that stock 5.0's can beat me. Down at the 1/8 mile track that I go to, the fastest 5.0 there is a 1995 5 speed that runs 9.3@74mph. I'm not sure what his mods are exactly, but I saw lots of trickflow stickers under the hood and his intake was trickflow. Most of the stock or exhaust/air intake 5.0's down there run in the 10's! They usually trap 70-72 mph. My mom's mercury sable ran 10.4@68...LOL.
Anyways, everytime I post a 5.0 kill story i've always gotten the BS flag. What makes 5.0 owners think that they own L98's so bad? I've only lost once to a 5.0 and he was cammed, and even then I only lost by about a car length.

5.0s could beat L98's stock, so i guess that's all the reason they need. I honestly don't think i've ever seen a modded 5.0, so that supports your "nothing to prove" statement.

Oh yea that LT1 runs 14.30's...
And the reason the SS would pull him in 2nd or 3rd is that gear and tire will help him out of the hole, but once he gets going fast enough the tire won't matter and the SS will have too much power beyond that. If you don't believe it, think about this, that SS beat an 05 GTO yesterday (A4 i think).

The 90-92 L98's were faster than all forms of the 5.0 except for the Cobra, plus 5.0's(the fast ones) are manual so there is more room for error. Check any review of Mustang vs. Camaro when they pair the two up in the early 90's. Yeah the 5.0 is easier to mod but that's a whole different story. At the end of this article shows the same 1/4 mile speed between a GT and an 87 TPI 350. Anyone that knows third gens knows the 87 TPI 350's were the slowest made. Had 25 less horsepower and about 30 ft lb of torqueless than Kylez2891's. Know yo stuff, bud. And don't try to tell me I'm wrong.

Keep in mind that's an 87.

Our first run was funny cuz we were about even at 75-80 and I start rolling the windows up and that's when I started to pull. I don't know about that car having much to nip at?

Its true when your young and dont know much about cars youll think any car is fast I had a 85 Pontiac Bonneville 5.0 305 and I thought that thing was the fastest car in the nieghborhood because of the feel WOT torque pull!Until I raced a 95 9c1 350 LT1 and he made me look like I was standing still! I looked on the internet and realizes my bonneville only had about 155HP which wasnt ****!But someone coming form driving a 90HP 4 cylinder toyota tercel to a 305 v8 will think they are a race car!

Ok, we aren't talking about individual races here. We know what your time is--13.532. The question is, what would it take to get a well running 5.0 within 2 tenths of that time? I know that the mods I listed will put a 5.0 in that time range if the driver has any skill.
