GP6T, You're a joke! Take your calculator and **** off with your ridiculous comments!

What your calculator doesn't account for is gearing, stick or auto transmission and RPM rev band capability, especially in a highway race. With my comparable power and in most cases better gearing, I can stay in each gear longer through 7000 rpm's while the LS1's have to shift well beneath that. You can't account for all these things without knowing all the variables involved and I don't care enough to research them. I just downshift, win the race if I can and post it here if it was worth doing so. I sure wish you lived closer to me because I'd love to show you what my poor, underpowered Cobra could do..

One other thing since you want to compare hp. Not all LS1's are 300 rwhp cars either, some are 280 hp cars, especially the automatics. I could have put most of my larger beatings on these cars I don't deny that possibility at all.
