LS1 kill + video
 

I was downtown last night with a few buddies when I spotted a new SS. I asked him how it ran, blah blah. I asked him if he wanted to run just for the hell of it, told him I had a fox body mustang and he about fell on the floor W/ laughter. We met on top of the parking structure, he said he wanted to race my friends 97 Cobra first, and call one of his buddies up because he wanted to race as well. I scurried home, got my car and threw the slicks in the back of my brothers truck. We met at my friends house, I changed tires and we were off. The SS had full jet-hot coated exhuast, pullies, SLP cam and other misc. stuff. Said it made 330 to the wheels. His buddy with the 2000' Z28 that I ran had ported heads, SLP cam, same exhaust and supposedly made 365 to the wheels.

The cobra and the SS ran first. Sad to say, my buddy got his *** handed to him by the SS. Cobra jumped out 3 cars on him, SS just started pulling as soon as it hooked. After that, the LS1 guys became very cocky. The silver Z28 was now very excited to race me. We lined up, I heated the slicks of for a few seconds and we both staged. I got him by 4 cars or so out of the hole, was still pumming on him. He decided to give up halfway through, came back to the house, wanted to go again.

Second run, we both launched good, I still had him by 6 cars or so at 1000 feet. Needless to say he was VERY surprised that my stock looking coupe took care of him.

After talkin with them for a bit, I found out they go to the same cruise night as me and my buds go to. Fuddruckers resteraunt in Lake Forest, CA for anybody that is interested. Every tuesday. They said all their LS1 guys are coming, and after the show we're gonna go out and mess around. Will defenitely be more video tomorrow.

Here's the vid, it should work. http://members.cox.net/blbfrance/videos/Zak1stpass.AVI

YEAH!!!!!!!! I saw this race. You wouldnt believe how fast this stock looking coupe goes, on lowering springs and no drag suspension at full weight!

It smokes my car!

So what's the Fox got done to it?? Nice vid!

Hes got TFS Heads, Rpm intake, ~530 cam, longtubes, some compresssion and all the usual boltons.

Damn thing runs hard! Around 12.4@112 last time at carslbad.

Look it up in the users rides.


I love it, the 365rwhp LS1 gets spankedd!!!!!!

Skyler
:D :D :D :D :D

That was VERY cool! Man, I wish video cameras were that common 20 years ago! i would love to have footage like that of some of my races! damn. Anyway, that was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

Take care,

Oh Baby!!! What a sick car :D

Hope my coupe moves like that one day, im really impressed with the power people get from the tfs heads, my friend is putting down about 360hp with them, and 10:1 compression 347 stroker, and itty bitty carb.

I saw this on a friends computer, my player ask for a Div3 decompressor, anyone know where i can get this? please?

congrates on the kill . to bad your buddy lost but hey you have to lose sometimes . I hope I can get my little old hatch to run like that

Nice race! That ls1 got "owned" :D :D

Skyman: I though you was the top dog out there?

Wow! He really walked him! I can't wait to get slicks!

Nice! that LX just booked him! Sweet video, gotta love getting the evidence!

sounds awesome, but cant get the vid part to play

Me neither, but im playing it with real 1 player. What do you guys use? I can hear it but i just cant see it.

runnig windows XP and its media player

You need a Divx decoder, I believe you can download them at www.download.com that will play the video. I'm at work right now so I don't have it, so I can't watch the video qutie yet, I'll be sure to check it out once I get home. Nice kill, I hate cocky people.

§am.

UH OH, someone got there backside handed to them. U ought to post that on ls1.com. That thing is all motor w/ no adders?

Oh yea post it on ls1.com, they'll say it wasnt a fair launch, or bye 70 mph the f-bod would walk ahead bawhahehe...

U probably right. I browse that forum and it's funny. One guy( in a ls1) said he lost to a late '80's Carlo SS. Because he missed a shift and also to a 440 Challenger sometime earlier due to the same reason. But, luckily he said, other than that he's still undeafeted. lol Hmmmm

Yes its all motor. The guys with the LS1s were actually pretty cool guys. This saturday Skyman and I are probably meeting up with afew of them at Carlsbad. Both those LS1s ran 12.30s @115 last saturday. Probabyl be a handful for me! We should have some god videos saturday night when we get back.
