Bought an LS1.......

EZRIDN · 04-19-2002, 01:21 PM

Finally broke down and bought a car. I have been looking fro about a year and ran across one that i like. Its a 99 black Z28 with factory crome rims. Auto, 2.73's. So far i love it...haven't had an auto in forever though. I love drag racing it, and it has been to the track about 5 times already and i have only had it about 3 weeks. Check out the sig for the times. Those times were on the blad stock RSA's.

So far at the track i have only lost once to a black 6 spd LS1. i lost by a car and a half. i have some pretty impressive kills though so far:

01 GT with NOVI 1000, exhaust, gears, DR's...he ran a 14.2 @ 106
93 Supra with 17 psi of boost...he ran a 14.2 @ 105
89 Trans AM with the 3.8 Turbo...he ran a 13.59 to my 13.51..good run
A couple of 5.0's too....

Don't worry i still have love for the 5.0s. i just love that the first mod i needed for the car was a helmet because it runs mid 13's stock!

Let me know what you gusy think...

Let me say I like your decision but I might be bias

EZRIDN · 04-19-2002, 01:54 PM

Yes its a great car. I like the auto for drag racing. Things go right it will be raced again tonight..lol

what did your run stock? what tranny?

KEVSWS6 · 04-19-2002, 02:17 PM

6 speed. The best I could do stock was a 13.4 @ 106 with 2.2 60ft time.

96SNAKE · 04-19-2002, 04:30 PM

NOOO! Say it isn't so, EZ..

Just kidding! Enjoy the car man. I like any of the American performance cars so you can't go wrong imho. I just feel especially comfy in the cabin of a Ford though.

crazy5.0 · 04-19-2002, 10:14 PM

The guy you beat with the 01 gt with a s/c and drag radials must not know where the gas pedal is. Same thing with the supra.

no offense man but are you sure. stock 01 GT with DR's should do 14.2???

Nitrous Al · 04-20-2002, 07:57 AM

You should've bought a 4.6 mod motor Cobra. Did you get caught up in the LS1 hype? Did you "want" the automatic transmission? Sorry, I'm just "F" ing with you. GM always builds a "great car", then they end up killing it off soon after. Good luck with the LS1.

Yea i talk to the guy every time i am at the track. The car has run a 12.9 on the DR's, but it is so inconsistent. He had slicks on in last night and he ran one 12.58 @ 107. We ran that once just to see what happened and i ended up taken him by about 3 cars. He had a 2.3 60' to my 2.1.

Yea the LS1 is great with the auto. Very consistent and powerful. i ran a 13.64 @ 103 last night in not the best weather conditions. i looked hard for a DOHC Cobra, but could not find one that was priced well. This LS1 was a great deal, and so it came down to price in the end. Plus i wanted an auto b/c i drag race so much.

I did get beat by a '01 Ram Air who had a cat back, lid, free mods. I lost by .0089!!!!!! i actually ran a better time than him, be just had a little more mph that pulled me.

He ran a 13.76 @ 104 to my 13.74 @ 103.54 Anyways.

I weighed that LS1 last night and it came in at 3420 with alittle less than a 1/4 tank.

Tony Frank · 04-20-2002, 01:32 PM

oh i was thinking that a 14 was the best.........my bad, well good kill man

and good luck with the GM

jk its ok at least you still hang here.

joe4speed · 04-20-2002, 01:58 PM

We put out a massive search effort here in WPB lookin for ya to talk you out of it when we first heard, but we called it off cuz you were just havin too much fun with it! Keep the love for the 5.0 man!!!!!

Coupe5oh · 04-22-2002, 11:51 AM

I would like to race one of those 3.8 t/a's

Yea, an auto with 273's 34??lbs that runs 13.4's on street tires is a great buy, oh well enjoy it.

my friend has an a4 formula that ran 12.7 with a 2.0 60' cuttouts lid, and gutted cats, now it's getting a new motor because of burnt rings and bent valves, but he ran the crap outt it.

he is getting an ls6 motor put in it now.

EZRIDN · 04-23-2002, 04:18 PM

yea i'm waiting on that kill from ya! ha ha.

You better get that car together for the track wednesday.

Thats a great time out of that a4 Formula! Too bad about the motor though. oh well.

Thanks for the replies guys. I should be at Moroso tomorrow so look for me!!!!

sedanman · 04-23-2002, 04:41 PM

The exhaust had not arrived at noon when I left today I hope it arrives today, they are calling for rain tommorow

So I am not sure if I will have the new times, but I guarantee this they will be better than that slow a s s camaro

Well if you lived in Florida Knucklehead you could go to the track twice a week

Yea i do hope you beat my car with the TWO mods it has:

1. K & N air filter.

2. Paper Tags.

Seriuosly i am dying to see what that thing runs...I want it in the 12's as much as you do! Plan a trip down here again this summer!

Yeah I hope for solid mid-high 12's as for that trip to florida after the bottle goes in I will try to get it down there (probably end of summer) and we can see if you can even read my plate by the 1/4 with me on motor

StoplightWarrior · 04-23-2002, 05:21 PM

EZRIDN : Congrats on the purchase! I seriously almost bought an auto SS when I was shopping around for my new car. It was a white one, hardtop, real nice. Too bad the salesman was a complete cock. Oh well, I think it turned out for the best. Gotta love the easy power the LS1's make though! Get a lid, some headers and a cam, you could be in the VERY low 12's easy. Best of luck to you.

Thats funny you say that. i ALMOST bought a '99 CObra and the salesman turned out to be horrible. The dealer called me for DAYS after the incident with the salesman trying to smooth things out. It was the worst experience. So i ended up waiting a couple more months and buying the LS1.

Congrates on your stang! I love the looks of them!

I got the car dynoed today....check that post out.
