death, kill...my ls1 against my VR-4
I already knew the outcome, but I got a buddy to run my ls1 against my vr-4 for some highway roll fun. Even managed to get some crappy vids too. I did a couple of 40 punches and a 60 punch. I intiated three honks everytime and made sure the Camaro took the jump just to give it a fighting chance. Mods in the sig. I was running 19psi.
40mph roll: Same outcome 2 out of 3 times (2nd run i missed and grinded the crap out of third ). The Camaro would take a small jump but by the end of second I would be about a car ahead. In third I kept walking away pretty easily and bad.
60mph roll: I did this run to give the Camaro an advantage. I was out effecient spooling range. The Camaro took about a car at first and then the VR-4 caught it by 3600rpm and then walked away.
It was fun. We did not do any races from a stop because there is really no point to beat up my transmission anymore since I could pull on the Camaro in high gear.

There's under $3000 in performance upgrades done to the VR-4. The Camaro has maybe just under that cost in mods too. Now I know I can always put a new cam and run a 150 shot in the Camaro and the Camaro would walk the VR-4, but then again I could always change turbo housings and run bigger turbos and be able to take that Camaro out and so on...and so on.....
As for maintaining the car, I pay for fluids and plugs. Same as with the Camaro.
I don't know how to post vids. Sorry.

Having someone else drive your car is always a scary thing. Plus, you know that you can drive your car a little better then the next guy. But what else can you do?
The ws6 with slicks should really jump out of the whole and take away alot of the advantage of the vr-4. at 20psi, it's going to be a good race but i might have to side with your ws6 on that race
