The LS1 Trans Ams from SLP are incredible... With a trap speed like 108, he could've easily done mid 12's...that's the problem though, getting the power to the ground without tirespin, clutch slip, missed/granny shifts, etc. That's the one reason that I'm glad I have an auto...only one thing to focus on, which is gas pedal manipulation. I gotta be careful how much gas I lay down until the top end of first gear too..laying the pedal down anywhere below, say, 4000 rpms (I dont know speed cause speedometer is broken), and I break traction in the rear....but man is it awesome.
