Yeah my buddy has a '01 Lightning and it is bad. Our buddy has a 98 LS1, (SS auto). He beat our buddy's modded LT1 (he was very traction limited, the modded LT1 ran 13.50 @108 with this setup). The LS1 doens't spin the tires at all.
Well we lined up the Lightning and the SS. The L had 150 or so miles on it. When they took off, the L lit the tires for the first 20 feet or so (tire marks to prove). The LS1 was consistent and did not spin and left good. Well the LS1 had the start and the L was reeling him in hard, by (we marked off a rough estimate of 1/4 mile) the end the L was catching and the front of the L was at the SS's front tire (SS didn't let up either).
The truck feels totally different now that it has broken in. I bet it would be a different ending now.
