LS4 kill thread. I was bored at work and found this.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/ls4-performance/957461-ls4-kill-stories.html
IMO, its sad to claim kills on slow *** 4 cyls etc in a V8. I know they can run decent when modded, but some of the kill claims are out there.

I'm claiming not just bullshit but complete horseshit on most of those. A ******* monte carlo is gonna take a vette? Just my imo but a few others reading this along with me are in complete agreement.

I agree....these cars aren't that damn fast...I see they have LT1's on their Kill list everywhere...Funny thing is, I ran 2 of the New SS Impallas and walked em both pretty easily.....granted my LT1 is a Cam/Nitrous car, but needless the Bottle wasn't even in the car..
Someone fill me in... LS4? Obviously not the motor I'm thinking of... :shrug:
And unless I saw a pretty nice looking Monte Carlo or I was really bored, I probably wouldn't even mess with one...

LS4 = 5.3L V8 for FWD. Found in Monte SS, Imp SS, GP GTX, etc. Rated @ 300 hp IIRC.

So are these cars pretty quick? What would one of these run in a 1/4? Does anyone honestly think that they could take an LT1 or a mustang GT? I'd be interested to know if they are actually capable of taking some mods and walking some unsuspecting mustang or LT1 driver.

Naa..They aren't really all that quick....Seen a SS cobalt take one from a roll and a dig...and a 05 Stock GT beat the same car from a dig and a roll.GT was an Auto...and agian...My LT1 hasn't seen one even keep pace

I beat an Imp SS w/some exhaust mods in the TBSS (totally stock) in a bad way. The TBSS has a "best of" ET of 9.17 in the 1/8th. So I'm guessing ~14.2 in the 1/4 which isn't fast IMO.
We test drove a GTX before buying the TBSS. My wife wasn't even impressed with it's acceleration. My guess would be mid 14's stock.

They run high 13's-low 14's bone stock. For a 4 door sedan that's FWD, they're pretty quick. I love ours. I actually like driving it more than the SS just because it's WAY more comfortable.

I ran a new GT up to 95 w/ my MCSS, equally matched. It has a K&N and M/F exhaust.
My '02 Z28SS would have spanked it.
I prefer to drive the MCSS, better all around car. The Z beats it in brute force only. Got me thinking the new Z may be a huge jump ahead for the Camaro.

if you think mid 14's is the best we can run you guys are retards. Cobalt taking a ls4 come on you guys must all be drunk on that shity beer, and not all corvettes were killers the 80 vettes were slow so as a lt1 lol. Most of the faster kills where by ones with some mods. low 14' and high 13's stock if you know how to launch, with a little mods they run low 13's but traction is a problem. Really you got nothing beater to do than be ******** and bash other gm cars. Atleat turn you hate on mustangs lol.

Ya, some people tend to get their panties in a knot pretty easy.
This post was poking fun at the PEOPLE who brag about beating much slower cars in something quicker, not the car they're driving. I was waiting to see someone post a mini-van kill story with the crap that was being listed.
So your low 14-13 sec ride beat a 15-16 sec car.... WOOHOO!!!! Thats like bragging that you beat up a 5th grader. If you don't like my post, then brag about beating something that would at least be a decent run. If you fall into this catagory then sorry your feelings got hurt, but I found the amount of wins against slow cars that were being bragged about as humorous.
Ya, I said they felt like they run mid 14's. And the ones I drove felt like that to me. The one I ran had to because I doubt my TBSS is in the 13's. I wish it was, but I know it isn't. I gave him the go from a dig and he was quickly left behind. Sorry, but that isn't low 14-13 sec ET material.
