yeh it only takes a few bolt ons to kill an ls1 i also got beat by a bolt on lt1 when i had my 98 camaroso i bought an lt1 so ican make ls1s feel like i didlt1s rule

darrensls1

You could of just modded the 98 Camaro. Unless it was a V6 then you definately made the right move

I never it said it couldn't. I had an lt1 too, full bolt ons and I could only muster 105 mph trap one night. Seem to be closer to 103-104 which is in par for an auto ls1. Of course, mine was an auto too. There's always good running lt1s, versus poor running ls1s. Hell, it could even be just the driver mod.

We all know anything can happen on the street. I just find it funny when many people here never owned both and comment.

because thats the only way an LT1 can beat an LS1

The truth of it is, more LT1's are in poor condition because they are much older and easy to afford/scrap.
When a taken care of LT1, like the OP's or even mine puts up a good fight or even takes an LS1/Mach 1 down, its a bad driver, or a freak, or whatever ******* excuse someone can come up with.
The fact is, LT1's hit high 12's and low 13's with bolt ons and can take down a good running LS1/Mach 1 with the proper mods.


Yes LS1's are faster, Yes LS1's respond better to mods, but it doesnt make them the faster car 100% of the time.

Nice kill Skrilla. That LT1 surprises alot of people. Definately a good running car to run those times at SIR. Yeah the elevation is a killer, but so is the crappy prep they lay down there. No traction FTL. That time you have is alot better than most LS1/Mach 1s that run there.

What was the bolt on lt1 trap speed.

Anything can win at anytime, that's what makes it interesting.

Poor running lt1, so that's what makes most of them slower than ls1s. Hell, at this time I thought it was technology differences. Nope, just lack of maintaince.

BTW, if you shop, you can get a 98 just as cheap as a 96 or 97. All it takes is some shopping.

I'm very well aware what both are capable.
You fit what I said before, about not owning both.

No doubt about a strong lt1. Just as others have posted too.

darrensls1

This is absolutely true. A lot of kids buy LT1's because they can be bought cheap and then don't take care of them by keeping up with tune ups, oil changes, ect.

I've also noiticed less and less LT1's at the track I go to. For every one LT1 I see at the track there are three or four LS1's and probably five or six imports. I think the problem is that more and more young kids are going the imports while 98/99 LS1's are finally becoming affordable.

And I agree that full bolt-on LT1's are no joke. They can put a hurtin on a stock or some lid & catback LS1s and sound mean as hell doing it.

Now...please tell me how a 268 RWHP LT1 can pull on all these cars like this?...especially the 04 blown GT.....the guy is lying/hiding about his mods...it's that simple. Don't be so nieve.

What does a dyno number have to do with anything?
Who gives a **** about what a car dynoes? Its a good reference, thats all.
LT1's that put down 280rwhp are usually in the 12's, they don't need 300rwhp to hit 12 like LS1's.
Mostly because an LT1 with 280hp, has around 330 tq.
Just because a car has more hp, doesn't mean its faster.


.
What blown GT are you talking about?

Woot, time to go home, my work is done for today. Thank you for the humor. It's going to be a great weekend.

So HP has nothing to do with highway roll racing?...got it..thanks.

The BLOWN GT IN THE VID...so you are talking trash and not even watching the vid I posted....UH DRRR

Irunelevens

I think alot of those races are BS for the mods he claims to have too, but he sure can shift pretty damn quick

Wesman6

I've seen alot of videos of his runs as well as the looks on the other guy's faces after they have come back from doing a few runs. I know he can drive that car very well and Skrilla's car has very good top end.

Come on folks, we're talking about the street here and alot of things can happen.

Irunelevens

Yeah, but beating a 350rwhp+ GT? That's a wee bit farfetched with those mods.

burnzilla

Stop acting like a child.
Yes HP has everything to do with any type of racing.
My point is, having more HP then another car does NOT necessarily mean you have the faster car.
Gearing, tuning, weight, torque and traction and others make up a race.
I have seen cars beat other cars with 50 more HP because of superior gearing and traction.


I didn't see that vid.

Youre just butt hurt your LS1 isn't leaps and bounds over LT1's.
Type away *******.


Nope thier BS.
Its very common for a Strong bolt on LT1 to put a hurten on Mach 1's and LS1's stock, and/or lightly modded.
Its not out of the ordinary.

Irunelevens

Yeah... but what would an LT1 with shorties, intake, and exhaust trap? Cuz he was PULLING that WS6, and my buddy's '02 WS6 trapped 110mph in the 1/4 with just a whisper lid.

There's a guy on here with just a K&N and Borla on a 94 A4 running a 13.3.
Now these are not freak times, just on the stronger side on things, and these are just a couple examples. I have hundreds.
And I would also like to mention the 60 foots on alot of these runs aren't crazy good, 2.0's.
Also, the bolt on LT1 record is 12.2... let me look for the vid, its a members car from here.
