Stock for stock I was faster than every Fbody manual or auto in our local club besides one mn6 WS6 who tied my et stock for stock.

200 pounds and .29 drag makes for a faster car..Even if the Fbody dynos 5 rwhp higher on average due to divetrain loss
cant wait to put the ls1 in an rx7 and strip it that way I'll have .27 drag and about 500-700lbs less weight than a vette

could you guys tell me about how much my 2002 SS 6spd Vert fully loaded leather chromes power everything cd changer,,, weighs? I've got a nice little set of mods going on and I think I could take one if I know how to drive... Too bad you can't really test the driver mod on a dyno but only on the street or track.


I've heard I've got enough power for 12s and I'm going to get a tune pretty soon to seal the deal. I'll definitely have a fighting chance

Not shittyFbodies.... Just a really shitty hawaiian weather slightly up hill 0 prep unless major event track LOL.....

90% of the Fbodies were 13.7-13.9 at this track..1fasttransam who post on this board ran a 13.5 bone stock in his WS6 and tied me.

comon MAN!!!! you know EVERY LS1 F-Body runs 12's bonestock lol

I ran 13.49 @102+ (9x in one day all between that and 13.7) in my TBSS when it was bonestock w/K&N drop in replacement, should I think "ALL" 2WD SS's run that? amazing what some good air at ATCO will do for ya..

It just goes to show how much of a monster those LS1 F-Bods are. I've heard a 'Vette owner say when he sees a LS1 F-Bod he gets a little nervous.

Id get nervous in my 2004 C5..air intake and lid to run dead even with me and any thing else and I was getting pulled when I was stock..

Never to nervous in the snake though. Have to be pretty much decked out or FI to pull me when stock.

I have not noticed crappy times like that in hawaii.And what club is this exactly that has all these stock f-bodies? So it seems that hawaii has no effect on vettes just f-bodies. Seems weird to me.

The last Rx7 had the same Cd or .29 as the C5. And a C5 coupe will weigh between 3100-3200 lbs depending on options. The FD weighs 2800-2850. Getting one to 2400-2500lbs sounds like it would be pretty tough. Maybe not though. For the record with a full tank my car weighed around 3170. It's probably a bit lighter now due taking off some "unnecessary" parts.
