9s@145 or bust!
you just raced a ragged lt1, mine has over 140,000 miles with just an just minor boltons and i laid about 2 busses on an 06 cobalt ss s/c by 75 mph from a 10 roll. Now my results arnt common results, but neither are yours. My buddy with a stock 96 3.8 camaro raced a redline on the interstate from a 40 roll, and the ion won by 1 1/2 carlengths at about 110 mph. The ion had suspension and exhaust. So im not that impressed by those cars.

Uncommon results? A 105+mph car beating a sub 100 mph car is uncommon?

He would have had a chance from a stop. Bad business from a roll.

Roll racing is for ricers anyway, races are supposed to go from a dead stop

no 2 buslengths probably isnt typical. his best chances would be from a roll compared to a stop

How do you figure that? I'm not going to spin from a roll, and he will spin a whole lot less then I would from a stop. Roll race is car and driver. Stop race is car and driver and suspension/traction. I know he's got me on the last two Keep in mind I was talking about me in my last post, not you. No way your car is going to trap 105 with those mods, even in texas
