racing an LT1

A guy from school got an LT1 a little bit ago I guess, keeps texting me to race him, think I'm going out here pretty soon to see who's gots the faster car! wish me luck PS: i think all he has is exhaust

good luck, and post a kill when you get back.

silverstang1996 -> RE: racing an LT1 (5/4/2008 12:15:33 PM)
yup i smoked him. I thought it was going to be alot closer, he had a manual just with exhaust but i got him by quite a few cars, probably atleast 4. I think something was either wrong with his car or he couldn't drive because I just raced a 96-98 GT 5spd. with very little bolt ons and I had him by the same distance. He didn't get off the line to good, I didn't hear tires sqeaul or anything, I thought for sure he'd have me off the line for a few seconds cause he had a manual but I just pulled on him the whole way up to 80-90 somewhere in there (wasn't looking at speedo)

Good kill... could be a bad opti, bad driver or his car was just slower... either way you won. :)

Opticrap or not It's just overshadowed by the LS1. The same thing will happen with whatever engine is put in the new Camaro.

But, the ls1 is a beast, I doubt it will really get overshadowed/left behind by the new camaro. There are ls2's and ls3's out already and ls1's are still the motor most people doing any type of swap use. i don't know though jmo.

LT1RUNNER -> RE: racing an LT1 (5/5/2008 3:43:22 PM)
Yea the LT1's are still good engines with enough bite to take on most. Good kill to the OP though. A win is a win!!

MustangMadness7 -> RE: racing an LT1 (5/5/2008 5:16:45 PM)
LT1's are great engines, but they are overshadowed by the LS1. I dont think that any engine is going to be doing the same to the LS1 anytime soon. It will always be remembered fondly, like the 5.0 still is now

quote: ORIGINAL: AZsGr8est nah bro. Thats all a lt1has Honestly....stfu. The LT1, even stock, should have you out torqued by 30rwtq and match your hp level. Sounds like you beat the driver. Nothing wrong with that. An auto with a gear under it and some decent power is nothing to laugh at...especially from a stop. Nice kill.

Nice kill. even if he out torqued me he deffinetly isn't on the same HP level, how would a stock LT1 with 275hp matched my 261rwhp, he'd only have at most 250 to the wheels, i know for a fact that LT1 wouldn't beat me because I raced one awhile ago but it was a lot closer, within a car or somewhere around there.

98LS1 -> RE: racing an LT1 (5/5/2008 6:32:44 PM)
They were underrated....my buddy that used to post here, silverz28 or w/e his name was, made 258rwhp stock.... Kinda like my '98 TA made 325rwhp with a simple cutout....through an automatic, yet it was rated at 305hp at the crank.

silverstang1996 -> RE: racing an LT1 (5/5/2008 6:41:54 PM)
eh I don't think all LT's were underratted atleast, how would you explain the two some other poster said about with the horribly low HP/TQ, and even further then just explain how I beat two of them, one I admit was badly driven but the other I knew couldn't have been because he too had an auto with full exhaust. I'm not trying to argue just because you said I shouldn't have won, just my experiences/what I've heard have shown me differently. I even drove in a different LT1 of a friends and wasn't really impressed with it at all over what I thought it'd be like.

Morbid Intentions -> RE: racing an LT1 (5/5/2008 6:55:26 PM)
just touching up on where I left off I think the LT1 is a great engine, my drag buddy is now pulling 13.3@101MPH is his A4 LT1 formula mods are CAI, catback, 9" rear, 2400stall, DR's, tranny cooler, deeper oilpan, 3.73's IMO not a bad time for a car with just a set of flowmasters and a K&N CAI (all he has to tell other people really) I personally just think the picture is funny [8D]
