Where does it say that he runs 13.9?

To the op, good luck against the 'ol ls1's. Hope you do have more than a 13.9 car, or you'll be doing more "only lost by" than you will "beat them by".....

i am not saying it could not happen. in street racing anything can happen. i just find it hard to believe he found 2 ls1's and beat them and has many under his belt. when i see suspicious races and no mods listed i look in the past posts of the member. it tells all.

yeah i red two before and beat them both from digs. I have BBK CAI, Accufa70mm T/B % Plenum, Mac lt, o/r X, slp lm II, and ford acin 4.10s. Andthe two ls1 i beat was a camaro stock with tires, and a ta lid and catback street tires. The two im raing tonight are both camaros and one has lid and cut out. The other has lid, 90mm t/b i thik. I know t/b for sure but i think its 90mm. and catback. Ill post vids and th will be from my car and his car.

Okay, but you still haven't clairified if the car is a new edge, an sn95, or a S197. I'm asuuming because you said TB and plenum that its a 4.6. And with the mods you listed you'd have to be one hell of a driver to beat an LS1.

What you dont know? Every "stock" LS1 comes from the factory with a hidden kit. I do not see you ever beating an LS1 with those mods..

You're right, if you win, you win, there is no doubting that, but if you do win, its because you are a better driver or they spun, or something is wrong with their car. Good luck.

Maybe I just reading into this too much in the S/S section,but this statement always seems to be thrown around as a negative thing. Not just here by you 1BAD, I mean in general.

I've beaten a few LS1s in my day, with my car at varying stages of modifications against LS1s of varying stages of modifications, and sometimes I won only because of driving skill. That gives me more satisfaction personally.

If I had to choose one reasonor the other....I would much rather beat someone because of my personal driving skill than because my car did all the work carryingmy lame ass across the finish line first. I would rather have better skill AND a faster car, but all the same.

05-02-2008, 04:25 AM
I know what you mean Rock, but your car has a very good shot at beating LS1's if you have mods and they're stock or basically stock. A 2v needs full bolt ons, gears, DR's and a very very good driver to run with an LS1.

AZsGr8est
05-02-2008, 05:41 AM
k results are in fellas. It was one trans am with open cut outs lid and shft kit, and it was a 2001 (i think) Z28. We went from a two digs and a couple of rolls. I lost the roll races as expected. But I di beat the Z28 twice from a dig and I almost beat the trans am. Lost by a half of car. Vido should be up soon. Maybe by noon hopefully. But there will be a vid. Mind u at thtrack I trap 99mph and on all the dig races i led off at 110. So this is how we all know it was a 1/4mile.

1BAD3V
05-02-2008, 05:47 AM
Nice kills, and seriously, if you're only trapping 99 in the 1/4 mile, an LS1 Camaro or T/a should be whooping you. With your mods you should be in the 13.7-13.8 range. You definately keep beating all these sh*tty drivers.

Nicely done, where they at least pulling you back in by the time you let off at 110 mph? It imagine they would start running you down.

that sounds more reasonable to me. you won2 of 3digs and lost all roll races. good driver mod.

Nice runs.

yellowjacketfever
05-02-2008, 09:30 AM
definately a driver mod... sounds like the ls1 drivers didn't no how to go from a dig. and anyone can smash the gas on the third honk or whatever it be. ls1's are going to get him on the roll as they are already on the bottom edge of the tq and power band. 4.6's have power down low... going from a dig is best... and thats where he shined..

I trapped 105 when stock and 106 with a lid and cutout. Sounds like it would have been a neck-and-neck 1/4 mile race. Nice runs.

Awesome vid bro, keep em coming. And don't take to heart what some of the guys say on here, just used to younger kids running their mouths about how they beat LS1's for example and don't even own a car :eek:. It's all good though, get a avatar up!

05-02-2008, 01:39 PM
Nice vid.. .though I am confused (are you declaring a victory in the 1/8th or just off the line period?) ..looked like the LS1s struggled off the line (traction)and did the typical walk by 3rd..... Nice deaths.

05-02-2008, 01:47 PM
Im declaring a victory in the 1/4 mile on the z28.

Did you have the 1/4 marked? or were you just going off of your speedo?

DS002
05-02-2008, 02:08 PM
Are you sure you were beating them at 99mph? If so they pulled about a buslength on you from 99-110 which is just a bit odd.

AZsGr8est
05-02-2008, 02:26 PM
I was going off my speedo. I trap 98-99 mph in the 1/4 and i was beating the z28 until 105ish so i know i beat him in the quarter. ThT/A beat me in the quarter by aboua length. I was beatin him til out 88-90ish.

S8ER01Z
05-02-2008, 02:38 PM
Not disputing anything..was just curious as to how you were calling the 1/4...if I am not mistaken your trap speed is calculated (so not a true indication of where the 1320ft mark is).. thought maybe you guys had a spot marked out. :)

JD1969
05-02-2008, 02:55 PM
Trap speed is timed over the last 66 feet of the track.

that thing must have been fairly decked out with the bolt on's to walk those LS1 Fbodies like that, stock for stock I'm fairly surean LS1Fbody would walk an LS2 GTO from a dig, just from personal experience owning both

I have to say m6 to m6... I don't think I would walk an LS2 GTO from a dig... with equal drivers I have to say it would be a dead heat... Not sure A4 vs A4 but M6 GTO vs A4 F-Body and the GTO would walk the F-Body (99% of the time) and M6 F-Body vs A4 GTO same thing (I could be wrong here too... just trying to analyze times I rememberand such in my head while comparing)...

I can also think of several M6 GTOs that would walk me (those posting 1.9 60fts and going sub 13.1 come to mind :) )...

Like I said, if you did win its because you're the better driver. Good job, and 302rideordie has a point, a lot of the time you get a young mustang fanboy saying they walked LS1s in their bone stock npi gt.

jmdgto
05-02-2008, 04:46 PM
looked like from the vid you lost all races. you launch better than the others, but you get run down later. i run people down all the time. you are about 1 or 2 mods away from walking them. you are the better driver no doubt.

DS002
05-02-2008, 04:53 PM
Not to take away from everyone calling this guy a great driver, but the car is automatic. Its not exactly rocket science racing a bolt on auto mustang.

AZsGr8est
05-02-2008, 05:26 PM
yeah the vid does kind of show me gettin pulled. But I also have a video in my car. All those videos were from the t/a. He made video. Ill post my videos from my camera. The races look alot closer.

AZsGr8est
05-02-2008, 05:45 PM
oh and i understand that some people my age come in here claimino beat ls1s. But i dont bullsh1t. And it really made me mad when I was gettin flamed for saying I was beating cars that people didnt think icould. I have raced 5 ls1s now. and beat 3 of them. Many peopledidnt believe I beat STIs WRXs SRT4s all modded. People Didnt think i have beat mded 350zs or an Evo. But sorry I dont go evey where with a video camera. But I kind of just want some credibility ad the belief of u guys that when im driving home one night and pull up to a car that i can tell the story of who won and didnt win without gettin flamed. Of course u will have some skeptics. But i would love for most people to know that If i lse ill say i lose and if i say iwon then i won. lols that too much to ask for?

S8ER01Z
05-02-2008, 05:53 PM
I don't think anyone is refuting the fact that you won (if you go by when you called the race on your speedo).... the fact that you were getting passed a pretty good clip by the top end means that both drivers had traction issues and you obviously got the advantage right off the line. If it was on a sanctioned 1/4 track then you would have numbers to show what happened (60fts, etc) and we would have a confirmed 'end of race' marker.

You obviously beat the LS1 going by your 'end' marker... no question. You still won't stop some from saying you beat the driver (especially with no real numbers to show what was going on)...

As long as you are not the type that things they are somehow faster than a bone stock LS1 car 100% of the time I really don't see any kind of delusional rambling going on here...

Simply put you are obviously the better driver... and going by your 'end' of race marker you won.

AZsGr8est
05-02-2008, 06:25 PM
yes the end of my marker which is the 1/4. maybe ot exact but close. I know i am not faster than any ls1 top end. I just know I can beat stockish ls1s in a1/4 mile. Thats all.

yeah but just remember, my A4 LS2 GTO ran a best of 13.5 @ 104MPH so far

http://www.dragtimes.com/Pontiac-GTO-Timeslip-15222.html

^^ my best run so far

it would be a dead heat for sure but from a dig I would say the LS1 would walk away stock for stock.. maybe not by alot but enough to call it a win down the 1/4 mile

I was just thinking with my best trap... walking away from decently bolt on LS1 Fbodies like that would mean he was for sure decked out IMO

IMO that's a low 12 second to possibly 11 second goat right there with the way he is pulling... but maybe I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time [8D]

oh BTW I have strep throat :([X(]

redmustang83596

From the video you MIGHT have won 1 race. The race where all three of you lined up, you MIGHT have beaten the Z28. The T/A beat you in the 1/4, unless you go through the traps right after you shift into 3rd, which is doubtful. Also, screaming "1,2,3" is not a good way to start a race. The fact of the matter is that you dont know how far a 1/4 mile was, and going by your MPH is a terrible indication. I wouldsay, by your video, that in the 1/4 mile, even though you got the hit, you still lost.
