I had an arranged race with one of my friends. hes got a stock 1998 Z28 ls1.. I raced him with all the mods in my sig. except for the pullies. still havent put those in yet. anyways, we raced from a dig but from idle. If we dropped, we would have spun like crazy because it was sprinkling all night. we each had one passenger. we raced 4 times. the 1st race i compeltely destroyed him. the second race he decided to drop it and beat me by 1.5 car lengths (i started at idle). the third race i spun a little and my traction control came on, he won by about 2 car lengths. at that point in time. he was really talking smack, so I turned trac off and completely raped him the last race. most fun Ive had in a long time! oh yeah, mines a convertible!

congrats on the wins. if you race when its dry, i seriously think itll be a diff outcome tho...
+1
My buddies 00 LS1 auto was able to almost hang with my car from a roll when I was at full boltons, cams, 3.73s, etc etc. From a stop I could kill em though.
Just don't race him again in the dry till you have some more mods

Why is it that everywhere else but around here LS1 driver seem to suck at launching thier cars? I don't get it, cars around here actually are fast and everyone runs from a dig for the most part. Hell, in my group I am the slow guy.

i dont think that its so much the area, as it is the people that you know...
of the people whom i know in pittsburgh that have cars faster than me, they all run at the track, and dont bother street racing unless it is a light to light thing while out cruising around. the "street racers" in pittsburgh are people who have never been to the track, and their cars are typically slow, and if they went to a track, they would get murdered..and no, none of them drive KB cobras...
but regardless of track regulars, or "Street racers", i dont know of anyone who "races from a roll"...if youre rolling, its not racing, its speeding. racing happens from a stop.
I don't know man, even the street racers here go to the track, they just run with the clocks off so nobody gets a time on thier cars. Maybe they are just more serious about racing (I mean the people I know)

yeah..i know what you mean, as ive talked to erik about it before...the guys whom i go to the track with are a bunch of hemi guys (real hemis, not the new small block econohemi) and theyre all in the 8s-10s...and even the ones who are streetable, they keep it on the track. there is one area that i know of where alot of guys street race, and i do know one guy who goes there alot with a low 11 second AAR, but the police pulled a "fast and the furious" move, and sent undercover police in modded looking cars, and busted a ton of people...i never bothered, as i prefer the track, but i have done my share of street racing. mind you, im sure that its not as organized as the racing that you guys do, but im not an anti-street racing person..i just prefer the track.
killed an LS1!
