LS1 goes down to a 6-banger!

Dude, before you react to my post keep in mind that anyone on this site who knows me will tell you I don't subscribe to the flame everything that is not Pro-Chevy mentality. I've even made suggestions to some members racing LS1s of how to take advantage of the LS1's weaknesses and I've posted kills where I've been killed by Mustangs and Supras. With that in mind, read this post and you will see what I think you ran into.

Check out the pics of the car reffered to in that post http://www.geocities.com/melwebdesign/P9150102.jpg http://www.geocities.com/melwebdesign/P9150101.jpg http://www.geocities.com/melwebdesign/P9150097.jpg

I'm not flaming or critizing your kill...but I think you may have run into a car like this one which would account for it's lack of LS1-ish performance. I can tell you that on my worst day I ran a 14.56 missing third so it just makes it hard for me to believe that the car you ran into was an LS1 on the inside.

That's I guess one of the reasons that the owner of that post got hammered so hard, cause it can get confusing.
