I Thought LS1's Were Fast?
I was at the track the other day watching the races. I usually do this every once in a while to see what kind of competition I'll have on the street.
There were some nice 5.0's runnin 11's and a bunch of old muscle cars that were nice too. There were also a few LS1's that were running too - a 2000+ SS and I think a 2000+ WS6.
Well I heard a bunch of LS1 leg-humpers talkin about how fast these cars are, so I was curious to see what they would run.
The SS ran 4 times - all were in the high 12's/low 13's range. The WS6 ran 5 times - all were in the low 13's (13.0 to 13.3).
They were parked next to each other in the pits, so I figured I would go on over and ask them about their mods.
The SS had a lid, LS6 intake, and DR's and the WS6 had a lid, SLP Loudmouth, and 3.73's.
I had my 02 there, but I didn't feel like racing. I'm more of a street racer. Racing at the track is just too dangerous. So I figured I would wait until these guys left and follow them out.
I waited and waited, and finally these LS1 punks decided to leave. I followed them closely onto the highway, I'm sure they saw me in their rearviews.
The highway turned to three lanes and one went into the left lane and the other into the right lane, so I just glided up to the middle. I looked over at one and grinned, and then I looked at the other and gave him a nod.
I let them hit it first and then I punched it. They both pulled about a half car, but once I punched it I was gone. I put about 4 cars on the SS and 6 on the WS6 up to about 130 and then I shut down.
I thought these LS1's were quick?
I'm hoping I can find a quick LS1 sometime soon, or at least a driver that knows what he's doing. I'm getting tired of beating these things. I guess it is hard to find an LS1 that can keep up with a stock GT, unless it's got a lot of mods.
Me vs LS1's
Me - 21
LS1's - 0
