My friend's fox H/C/I without any weight reduction was very fast;12.50 on slicks. It was a nice setup but not extreme.

With a gear!! and exhaust, youll be side by side or in front. 2.73 gear seems to be the worst thing happened to any ls1 auto..

Anyways we caught a redlight an he asks if I'd do a 20 roll once on the highway, I agreed. Once at 20 I put the car in 1st. As soon as I did he started to honk...beeeeeep...beeeeep. beeep an were off, I was even with him untill around 85 then he slowly started pulling ( i had the t tops down mind you), we raced to 120 an by the end of the race he had 2-3 cars on me. He said it was a 5.0 w/ Heads,Cam,3 73s, and it looked to only have two seats in the car. Does this sound right ? Or should he have beaten me by more? I think it was a good first race, what do you guys think?
Why did you bother to put it into 1st? Unless you have a built tranny, you are doing your timeslip and your tranny's life a favor and keeping it in Drive or Overdrive.
