I beat my first LT1 today...yeehaa!
 
Alright here's how it went down, YO ;) : I was coming home today from my unit (National Gaurd) and saw this early 90's maybe a late 80's model Comaro. Well i exit and he follows me, and gets on it to come right beside me. Well i look over and and we both gun it at the same time, he stayed with my all the way through 4th gear at 4500rpm. Dead even, then i shifted to fifth and started to leave him. By the time i hit 120mph i let off and he is a good 1 car length behind + a bumper, maybe. It was close, real close. But i won, gitty-up horsey! That's my first american V-8 kill since i bought my car at the salvage yard in 2000. But i have no doubt if i didn't have the mods i have now he definately would've beaten me by the length i beat him by tonight. After all was said and done he nodded and i did like wise, then went our seperate ways.

Lt1`s are always fun. I raced a guy taking a test drive in a 6 speed car and walked him rather nicely a few times. The funny thing is I can remember when they would have killed me.
Oh life is good

dude, i don't want to rain on your parade but the old body style camaro's did not come with the lt1's. it wasn't till 93 when the camaro's came with lt1's. nice job though

'87-'92 Camaros
 
If it was the square looking body style than it was pre-'93. Yeah, those Camaros didn't dome with near as many ponies as the '93-present. The '87-'92 Camaros varied some...but the Z-28s came with around 215-245hp. Always nice to whoop up on a Chevy though! :D

oops
 
Oh ok, my bad...i thought it was an lt1 you guys are probably right then. I know it was a late 80's or early 90's model so it probably wasn't an lt1. my bad.

305?
 
My brother used to have a '84 Z-28 that he says had a "high output 305" rated at about 215 HP, I believe. Probably a low to mid 15 second car.
