Raced an LS-1 Powered Chicken Truck!
 

Well, it was bound to happen. I lost a race tonight guys.

I had just gotten off work. I had some aggression built up inside me, so I thought what better way to blow it off before I got to my girlfriends house than to drive Hard.

I was flying down 401 at 85 MPH, when I noticed this smell. A nasty foul smell. Thats when up ahead I noticed a truck hauling a 53ft trailer. As I approached, I saw that it was a chicken truck.

To avoid the nasty smell and "Spray" (Yes, its genuinely nasty) I drop it into fourth (Now if I was in an LS-1, I could of just put it in 6th gear and already of been in another Time Zone) and floor it to pass when the light we were approaching turns red.

As the stench fills the cabin of my car, my muscle's tense (Probably because I was about to vomit), and sweat beads trickle of my brow. I looked over at the Rig pulling the Trailer and I saw the letters LS on the side.

Oh no...My legs began to tremble. But..Why? Surely it couldnt be a LS-1 powered Peter Built...Could it? I inspected the vehicle closer and could not tell if it was a WS-6 chicken Truck, or an SS Chicken truck. Either way, it couldnt be....

The chrome stacks gave off a unigue F-Bod Y-pipe sound..Maybe it was I thought to myself. Sure didnt sound like a Big diesel.

Doubt floated through my mind, Legs tremebled more as the light parralell to ours turned yellow. It was about to be the moment of truth.

GREEN GO GO GO GO...Popped into my mind. I tached the 4.6 and featherd the clutch. With little Wheel spin I hooked and took off.

I pulled hard though First, Hard. Gaining probably 15 car lengths (or one Chicken Truck Length), I hit second and noticed my lead started dwindling. I only pulled a few more lengths on Him.

Next thing I knew, I saw that Peter Built come Hauling up on me like nothing. All those thousand Chickens clucking away in furry as they passed me about made me deaf. (He had at least 1000 chicken Power plus on me...At least). Sounded just like a screamin F-body.

After he pulled a Truck Length on me the guy even further rubbed the defeat in by putting his Hazards on. I was humiliated, humbled, and sad. I began to weep. I pulled off my supernatural Driving Man cape and mask and threw them in the back seat.

At the next light between sobs, I asked the guy what he had. He motioned for me to pull over, so I did. We shot the breeze for a while and then he opened the hood.
There sat a Shiny LS-1. I couldnt believe it, it was a LS-1. He must of knew what I was going to ask next because he beat me to it. YEah, you had me bad in the first two gears, but when I drop kicked it into Third I took off after you! Everyone must be right...That LS-1 is just magical in third gear.

So yes, I got beat guys. I'm sorry to dissapoint you all. Especailly you Sedanman. Oh..He also showed me a time slip. It runs 12.8s at 148 MPH in the quarter. His 60 ft time was like 7 seconds, and his 8th was like 11 seconds. So that thing sure does have a hellacious top end.

Ahahahahahahah at least somone is finding humour in this whole debate... hilarious man u just gained mucho respect from me for being able to make light of the situation.

GREAT STORY MADE MY MORNING BETTER..........LOL

Atleast this one is a little more beleivable ;)

BUt I forgot to ask him if those Times were with a trailer hooked up, or without.

Oh, he also said it was Third HIgh, not Third Low. :D

ok.

Would you mind running some LS1s? I could post on LS1.com to guys who might be close to you.

That was great thanks for the story Mercury! Made this slow afternoon a bit better.

I'm calling BS on this one. Unless he had a CAI which magically adds 10mph to the trap speed of the average LS-1.

:D :)

oh man
 

I hope i never run in to that truck man. Great story merc.

What? You mean to tell me this story isn't true? You better watch out, now there are LS-6 powered Peterbilts. I got smoke by one. But he didn't have his trailer hooked up.:D

Just had to bring this one back.
 

Yep, This is one of my personal favorites. I just had to bring it back to the top.

Now you can spin through 3 gears and still manage to reel in and pass a C5. The more things change the more they stay the same.

eh...

Dark 5.0. What exactly is that supposed to mean...Plus. I didnt spin all through 3 gears. If one had read. It was a second gear roll with the C5, and second gear didnt get all that crazy on me.

If you believe me or not, it matters little. I have nothing to gain by lying. What would that do? That would be just plain pathetic, lying to strangers...for what????? To in some way, boost my ego, or feeling of self worth by lying about wins in races to a internet community????

I'm not that pathetic, or needing of attention, or acceptance. No offense to you all, but especially to people I have never scene, adn who are as far as I can tell.....Text on a freaking computer screen.

Whoa arent we touchy.

You used to say you beat LS1's when mildly modded. True or not it doesnt matter to me.

Now heavily modded you say you pull on C5's. True or not it doesnt matter to me.

I said the more things change the more they stay the same. I said that cause you have modded the hell out of your 4.6 and are still claiming to rape LS1's.

I dont doubt that what you say is true cause contrary to popular belief god himself did not create the LS1.

Oh well,

OK..'87 5.0?
 

Let's just set that LS1 CST (Chicken **** Truck) up against Unit's '(87?) 5.0 to see how it really measures up. LOL. Good to hear from Unit and Merc. I've kinda missed both of'em. Now if we just had Mr 50 chiming in to correct for grammar, syntax, brevity, and content, we could be complete with the old farts. Nothing against Jim Sweeters, I always admired him as well as others mentioned.

Old, meaning long time MW'ers, LOL.

Rev

Oh my! What a race. :p

I think your smoking grass Merc:rolleyes:

James:confused:

Nope, just Malboro Lights...Out of a Box. Yeah, I posted that a long while back when the whole LS-1 thing exploded....what...about a year or two ago. It was to poke fun, and mock, and to make light of everyone else's (And my own) fights and flames that had been shooting up all over the place.

Oh, my he's back well atleast this time he should actually be able to hang with a stock LS1. Oh, and a couple of us want to know if you will ever take it to the track and or come to indy or florida?

Oh...I've never been away. And you make it obvious that you dont frequent this site.....Whats up??? Someone give you heads up that I started posting again? Been posting again for a while now, your delayed response from my return only means one thing.....You only post on here to make trouble??? Hmmmmmm.

Hang with Stock LS-1's now.....It can do a little more than that bub.

One thing I will say...I like the new GTO's, and the SS MonteCarlo looks bad. We'll just have to see how they do at the track.

And....I will be at the track, once I get my suspension and tires on. Plus...when its snowing out, or raining out, are your tracks open....Duh.

Correct, I have been away a while becaue I have been busy working on my car, my new job and school. As for showing up when you post no one told me I was sent a e-mail because of the response to the old topics. Yeah I am here to make trouble :rolleyes: I have only been here for what two years longer then you.

With the mods you claim to have? Your car should trap what 109? What do your dyno numbers look like?

I am just saying this because you always talk but never back it up with times, and then when you did go you had a bucket of excuse as to why your car went slow. I am looking forward to yet more excuses.

More excuses for my car going slow??? Seemed to do good against its compittors here at the same track on the same day. Maybe because your track is in a little better conditions, in a little better weather turns in better times? Wow...imagine that...Your smart...you think of it all dont you.

yep...You were the bright one. As for dyno...I work 12 hours a day atleast, 5 days aweek, plus help friends with there stuff when I get the chance, but thats after the relationship I'm trying to hold together for 6 years. Sorry, but there are things more important than cars in life...and other financial resopnseiblities.

School..hmmm....What kind of school... A young college kid that knows it all possibly?? Could be wrong though.

How did you figure that trap speed again??? You eluded my question.

Time, money are tight...those are my reasons...MORON, not my excuses. Pathetic people need excuses....I need no excuses, nor do I need to give any reasons to likes of such (That bieng you).

You have the time to build a H/C 4.6 but not the hour to strap the car on the dyno, you are joking right?

I am 25 so I am not a young college kid. I am working on my mechanical engineering degree, well working full time to support my car, school and my GF of eight years!

I go to the track all the time and I go to tons of mustang events, I have seen almost every combo run and I have a pretty good idea what it is going to run. Sure their are some small variences but I will be plus or minus 2mph.

Right, let me find the old post that are jus packed with excuses, what about the being sick bit. No, you don't find excuses :rolleyes:

And I am the moron :rolleyes:

Yes, you are the moron.

And the closest Dyno is more than an hour away bozo. There is not a dyno in every town, and not all towns are 30 minutes away.

Your worse than my dam girlfriend. You act alot like her, but have your nose stuck up a little more than her, and think a little more of yourself. Period.

So you can't spare 3 hours after spending 10 plus on building it? Or what about the hours you spend on here?

Calling my knowledge moronic, it's amazing how funny it is hearing it from someone who is lucky to run 12's.

You just proved my point about your intelligance...Yes, I spend time on here...But look at my freaking post times...10 at night till 4 in the morning...

I live in the bible belt buddy, do you know how many places are open on Sundays? How about Dynos on Sundays at 10 at night...or 4 in the morning???? Tell me..Why dont you look that up on the internet for me.

Yeah, tell me how many are open past five in the afternoon on Saturdays also???

Lucky to run 12's...I guess you made up for your areas lacking with humor.
