The fastest stock LS1 run I have ever seen documented was Evan Smiths 12.89 run. I have heard 03/04 Cobras have hit 12.4 in stock trim so don't even go there. As much as I love LS1's we lose the stock vs stock debate with SVT Cobras.

Funny you mention that. I'm really leaning towards a C5 or a C6 convertible. I'd love to do a turbo setup, but a 402 and a F1R
might be in the works. Not sure at this point...but it'll be a 'vette
with forced induction...nothing less than 750rwhp.

wow you should keep your mouth shut and let people assume your an idiot rather than opening it and removing all doubt.

Which isn't stock. 12.80's should be no big deal at all on a DR
in a stock M6 LS1.

[QUOTE=unit213;8485692]Nice! Congrats on the purchase. Mods yet?



thanks. it's got your basic bolt ons with longtubes. never been pullied. but here in ma were in the dead middle of winter so i picked it up and it will sit till spring time. but before it comes out it will be pullied, tuned with some new drag radials and hopefully a solid rear. i did some driving with it yesterday (day i picked it up) becasue it was about 50-55 degrees out and we had some rain over the week to get rid of some salt and sand. i dont think i can deal with the irs wheel hop sucks i can only imagine trying to launch the car at the track. i got some questions about the solid swap is it ok to send you a pm?

PM me anytime. That goes for everyone here. LSx related too. I get
hundreds of PM's about LSx stuff.

Nah...I can take it when dishing it out. I tend to give guys like this
enough rope to hang themselves.
