So I was cruising gingerly down this nice 4-laner just passing traffic; not really weaving, but just going between lanes, enjoying getting my car back. Then I see this T/A cruising, and I think to myself "Hrmm, could be fun" Then I though, "Nah, he'd smoke my ass, don't even bother." So I get up to him, and just keeping my speed, passing him, I hear him down shift 6-3 and floor it. He was doing about 45, and I was doin about 50 and slowed down just a hair to look at it. As soon as I hear him jump on it, (I'm in D5) I floor it. He gets the jump on me. (I wasn't expecting to race him...) My nose is at his gas door, by the time I nail it. Slowly, I start reeling him in. By the time we hit the century mark, his nose is at my mirror. I had an aparation... I realized that this was a police-infested area..... So at about 110, and him may be a foot back from my mirror, I jam on the brakes, and slow my happy ass down to 45. I rolled down my window and gave a Him and his girl friend had the and Then he gave me the and went our own ways.

Crazy shit JUSt happened. Dude in the T/A I raced just called me. He worked with me at this dealer ship I used to work at. LOL.

Anyway. That's mah story. Hope yous guys like it.

LS1 or LT1 ?

All Mine

I believe it's an LS1. I'll have to check. It looked to be a '99 or '00

UNCTYPE-S

either you dont have all your mods listed or he shifted wrong, cause theirs no way at a 45mph roll we can hang with them, let alone at all.

03 CL TypeS

Or it was an LT1.

I was gonna say the same thing, but didn't want to sound like a hater!

All Mine

What's the difference between the LT1 and the LS1? It wasn't a WS-6, in case that's what you though. Those are all the mods I have. Which probably doesn't account to anything. But he didn't skip shift. I can tell he went from either 5th or 6th, down to 4th, down to 3rd. So I think that's how I was able to start inching. So I dunno. I wish I had it on video.

fiveoh-tl

If it wasn't a ws6, it wasn't an LS1. I think you raced an LT1 (which is 50+hp less than the LS1). Maybe you have a turbo or sc you didn't tell us about....cause even if it was a newer LT1 (in relatively good condition) he still should've taken you unless he missed a shift or two.

lord botox

WTF? WS6 are LS1's as well. Oh, you have a pic of a stang in your avatar. Anyway, stock 94-97 T/A is 280hp, 89-01 is 300hp, 01-02 is 310hp.

Are you sure he didn't have his breaks on?

03 CL TypeS

Not necessarily true. There are plenty of non-WS6 Firebird LS1's such as the Trans Am and Firehawk trims.

With that said, there's just no way a stock CL-S would pull a stock LS1 on the highway. Even with intake/headers a CL-S only traps 100ish and LS1's trap up to 110mph.

All Mine

Okay, well, I made an ass out of myself; and I do appologize. I met the kid on Saturday night, and found out that he was playing with me, not being on the gas all the way, and just doing that to make fun of me. Oh well. I feel like a moron now. Sorry for the stupid post.

Okay, well, I made an ass out of myself; and I do appologize. I met the kid on Saturday night, and found out that he was playing with me, not being on the gas all the way, and just doing that to make fun of me. It was an automatic LS1, and was his sister's car. Oh well. I feel like a moron now. Sorry for the stupid post.

03 CL TypeS

Hehe, it's all good, I knew he was either not going all out, screwed up, or just wasn't an LS1.

All Mine

Yeah. I'm stupid. I don't know quite as much about F-bodies as I should.

03CoupeV6

Ouch

But you still have an all around superior vehicle, IMO. Speed aside.

Chopsie

Nice death, in essence.

Unless your Forced induction, don't bother

EDIT: I'll give you a +1 since you have my favorite CLS color combo.

All Mine

Thanks. It's my favorite, as well. Well, except for the Anthricite/ebony, ABP/ebony. haha.

Thing thing that pisses me off though, is that he kept asking me questions to try to make me feel more stupid, like... " Think you could have beat me if we kept going.." And "Think you could be me in the quartar mile?" and " Could you beat me from a launch"

The kid actually drove a Z3 with the 1.9 liter. So yeah, his car, I know I could spank, but his sister's car, not a chance... Oh well. Atleast I admitted my being

03 CL TypeS

Sounds like quite the smartass ...

Seattle Cl-S

Sounds like he needs to get surprised by someone w/ some Wheeeeeeeeeeeh!! under the hood (blower, if you didn't get it)

All Mine

I gotcha. We should start a pay pal fund. A "Get Ryan a CompTech super charger so he can own that kid in his sister's car" fund. Haha. I know that'll never happen, just thought it's worth a try. Lol. Thanks for not making fun of me too bad.

You misread my post. I meant that a WS6 has an LS1 motor, and that when he (all mine) said it wasn't a WS6 TA, it definitely wasn't an LS1.

The LS1 came about in '96 (I believe), and generates 345hp and 350 lbs/ft trq stock, in comparison to the LT1 that put out 275hp and 325lbs/ft trq.

03 CL TypeS

1st LS1s came on the 97 Corvette, then they appreared in 98+ f-bodies!

UDEngineer

I used to have a 2000 SS, and i know alot about the F-Body.

Here are the Hp Figures

1993-1995 LT1 275 HP
1996-1997 LT1 285 HP
1998-2000 Z28/TA 305 HP, SS/WS6/Firehawk 320 Hp
2001-2002 Z28/TA 315 HP, SS/WS6/Firehawk 330 HP

Nope. From '00 to '01, they only gained 5 hp to have 310/325 hp. But that's on paper. Anybody who knows anything about the F-body knows that it's much the same engine as the Corvette.




As for All Mine -- I was reading the mods list in your signature and kept expecting to see some power mods but didn't see any. With the mods I have now, I beat a mildly modified Z28 and lost to another modified Z28 by a carlength when I had a busted O2 sensor. Good try, though.

03 CL TypeS

That's cause in 01 and 02, they got the LS6 intake manifold off of the Z06. And slightly less agressive cams, believe it or not.

But the bottom line is that an LS1, is an LS1, is an LS1. They all run the same. It's all about the driver. Even the C5 Vettes are just as fast as f-bodies. They may weight 300/400lbs less, but have higher drivetrain losses due to their IRS vs. the solid-rear axle on the f-bodies.

The only difference is in the tranny. The A4* will trap lower and be more consitent, whereas the M6 will trap higher - yet run the same E.T. In a perfect world, with expert drivers and no error, the M6 should edge out the A4 in the 1/4, ever so slightly.

So bottom line: all LS1's are pretty much equal / it's the driver that makes the difference.

*NOTE: I am referring to the automatic tranny w/ the performance 3.15 axle ratio. The regual 2.73 axle is junk; you can't even get the tires to break loose.

All Mine

I guess you didn't see where I wrote:



lol. Oh well. Next will be ice box and some Alphaworks headers. Or may be CompTech. Which ones are better?

All Mine

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like an ass. I was trying to be nice. I wish I had some more power mods. Oh well.

I know, I read all your posts.

It didn't sound right, now that I read mine again. Didn't mean it that way.

Pure Adrenaline

iTrader: (2)

Yes, I am fully aware. I only said that because the previous post stated that the F-body LS1 gained 10 hp, when in fact it was only a 5 hp increase (on paper).

03 CL TypeS

All Mine

I concur.

Black CL-S 4-Life

No freaking way you pulled on a LS1 at that speed especially with the mods you have listed. You might hang with one from 0-45 but after that an LS1 will pull hard and it will only get worse because they have a sick 3rd gear.

03 CL TypeS

I think we covered that already, but thanks for coming out!

Black CL-S 4-Life

I didn't read the whole thread.

All Mine

LOL. Yous guys are funny.

thedream21479

On a side note...I saw a Pontiac Blackbird at the exhaust shop yesterday... Number 3. I can't stand FBody cars...Hell Fisher-Price uses higher end plastic inside than GM does...but that was a stunning machine. Number 3 of 50. That's a car i'm likely never to see again in my lifetime!

All Mine

Was it yellow with graphics?

A friend of mine from high school had number 0-The prototype. Then another guy had number 2 or 4. I can't remember. His father had the first orange one. He bought the yellow one for his graduation.

thedream21479

This one was red with silver graphics and a nice little 380HP on the hood. The hood was what blew me away- it looked mean as hell. If Knight Rider ever came back, that would be the car they would use.

All Mine

Where in Atizzle are you?
