Ran an LT1 Camaro last nite!
I don't know wether I should chalk this up as a win or a tie.
We were side by side at 50mph and that's when I punched it. He punched it about a second later (could hear his exhaust). I had let off a little bit to make it fair, and then got back on it. But I maintained my 1 or 2 car lengths that I put on him, and might even have inched away... hard to tell when you're ahead.
He had an exhaust, don't know what else. Was a manual one.
He'd have smoked me hard from a dig though!

Nice run.

But he could have just swapped the rims.
I saw his tires, they were Dunlops SP Sport 5000's or something like that!

my friend has a 99 z28 6 speed, and im a stock 03 cl-s 6 speed, and i can hang from a roll, sometimes edge him, but not from a dig. he loves american muscle(also has a 69 vette, mint, 531 hp) and cant get over how fast my car is. he always wants to drive it.

Good race with the LT1, I'd like to race a stockish 6 speed CL-S6 with my mustang to see how it would fare.

I ran 2 different 93-97 body Firebirds with LT1 when I was stock and I would take them from a dig and pull a half car and hold it to 80mph believe it or not, at 80 they would pull up on me and end at about 100 with the LT1 about a bumper ahead. That was stock, haven't raced any since then.
P.S. - One was auto, the other manual. (Not sure why the manual didn't do better than the auto, maybe high mileage or something or that sort??)
