Default raced a lt1

So after work me and buddy were bsing, and he was think he had a good chance of beating me in my stock 99 trans am with his 93 Camaro with exhaust, no cats, and a aftermarket intake oo and he is auto and i am m6.. So we leave the parking lot and line up going about 25.( i havent had this car long and dont know how to launch from a dead stop yet without roasting them.) I pulled about 2 or 3 cars up till 70 or so and we had to let off, we did this again with the same results.

LS1 guys will say that was expected and you should get one that will say the wrong thing and upset an LT1 guy. he will get banned for being too defensive and the LS1 guys will rejoice on his banning from the site. this will further aggravate the LT1 guys. then one LT1 guy and a few LS1 guys will argue. then they will make a comparison to a mustang and/or an import. then the mustang and/or import guys will take offense. another guy will be banned, then the LS1 guys will rejoice again. well, thats what the magic 8 ball told me any way.

nothing, you posted killing a modded LT1 with a stock LS1 happens all the time excuse me while I throw on my flame suit

Plenty of LT1's out there that run very strong but the LS1 is a better motor stock v. stock and responds better to mods. I was able to run with or by cam only LT1's when all I had was LT's, Pro 5.0 and the good ol' Driver Mod.
Plus the six speed is usually a good advantage in a roll race. That being said there are PLENTY of LT1's out there that would walk me.

Good kill and if you catch crap for beating an LT1 just beat them with a stick.

So you pulled 2 to 3 cars on the LT1 from 25-70 mph and he has mods and you are stock? That could happen I guess if the other guy was a real crappy driver and or his car wasnt running right.

Good point, there is always something faster. There is like a 500 hp civic where I live that kills just about everybody...from what I hear that is, I haven't seen it.

Or it could be the fact that the LT1 in question is 14 years old, an automatic, and the OP's car probably has better gears

I didn't see that he had LT's, he said his car is stock. The LT1 supposedly had exhaust and intake, I don't see what's so difficult about beating a stock LS1 with LT's, no cats, and an intake.

I meant LT1...not LT as in Long tubes...

My point was that a stock LS1 manual should take an exhaust/intake LT1. That is my experience. Correct me if I'm wrong.
