Okay, Time for me to throw my two cents in.

I've heard and read about these Demi-God Like performing LS-1's. A GM lover that I know swore up and down that his buddies LS-1's ran Low Low low 13,s, and High 12,s stock. Here in Fayetteville.

Well, Tim C and a few other Mustangers started going to the track and saw these supposed Low 13 sec cars running. They all ran Mid 13's, with not one of them dipping below 13.5. Thats on a 50-55 degree night with 30% humidity (Humidity here is usually alot higher).

The one that ran 13.5 was a 99 Camaro 6 spd. He claims to be stock, but I've heard otherwise. Since I dont really know, I'll assume hes stock. The rest ran an average of 13.7.

On another note, you get 96-98 Cobras with just gears running 13.7's and 13.6's out there also. On the same day!

The average 99 + GT driver pulls 13.9's or 14.0. Tim C and the gang told me there was a Roush Stage 2 Coupe with gears out there runnning 13.7's, and a 2001 GT Convert 5 spd Powershifting his way to 13.8's.

Now I must admit, theres a black 2000 Camaro SS with some mods (The guy wont say what) running High 12's. His best was a 12.7.....something. But he doesnt drive the car at the strip. He NEVER DOES. He has a friend drive it. With him driving, I could beat him. He's a sorry sorry driver.
