Overkill...ls1 vs lt1
Overkill...ls1 vs lt1 I was cruising down the four lane in town "breaking in my new 4.10" when this trans am vert beside me revs at a light. Well I'm just looking to hang out but this guy pesters me for the next 1/2 mile. I see a friend of mine at a gas station but as I'm going by so I plan on turning around. I'm at the edge of town so I do a u turn behind the trans am who apparently had other plans as he slowed to wait for me. Well being the nice guy I am, I oblige the race since there is nothing in front of or behind us. We go from about a 40 roll. I let him have the go. I start in 3rd about 4 grand cuz I'm really not expecting much. I stop his pull immediately and by the top of 3rd I'm spinning already atleast a car ahead. When I hit fourth I'm fishtailing all over the place but stay in it long enough to get it straight. I let out about 4 cars ahead and get over in front of him. He pulls beside and says, "Man, what do you have in there that thing is a beast." I tell him it's just an lt1 car with full exhaust, gutted and a gear. He proceeds to make a bunch of excuses with his gf beside him so I just say good run. By the way it was foggy so I'm sure thats why I spun so bad...still surprised me. Guess he got more than he bargained for...hehehe

I think it contributed to a light mist on the ground that wasn't visible. I also have stock street tires and a new gear...not really used to spinning at the end of 3rd and into 4th gear...chirping fourth yes...fishtailing no...had to be a little wet

[QUOTE=DopdBrd;8396957]Don't give up on the LT1!!!! I have raced and beat plenty of LS1 cars in my old bolt on LT1!!!
Me too! If I think that the LS1 or other car might be more than my car can handle on motor I just reach behind me and turn the bottle on. I dont purge and love the look on most of there faces as I go by them.
