You gave away your biggest advantage, being quicker off the line.

i still have to listen to it..he kept sayin how it was cutting out..how he broke loose etc...

i think i hurt his ego lol.

i didnt have no excuses..just said they should run about the same
 
Rollin ain't racin'!
You know why he did it? So he wouldn't spin in 1st!
So he basically removed "Your" only advantage to the race.

Challenge him from a dig next time, he'll struggle to hook, you'll already be gone, he won't catch up, end of story!
(those cars Main enemy his Hooking, unless he's running drag radials he cannot launch with that engine's full potential.)

95 Camaro Z28?
I have this car...that's an LT1

They are definitely a 13 second car from the factory, assuming he Hooks good.

A 13 second LT1... :rolleyes: Not likely, unless you are one that runs a 13.99 and calls is a 13 second car. That 95 LT1 Camaro (stock) would need to be set perfectly to even break into 13's. I had a 96 Corvette, LT1 and my best run was only like 13.4's And it had the performance rear end ratio option, that what 3:42's rather then the stock 2:73's or what ever they were running, its been a while. But even most stock LT1 Vettes were high 13 to low 14 second cars. At least at my altitude.

On another note, a 2000 WS6 with 6-speed and LS1 will only run 13:30's and if you ever rode one on the street it will damn near spank any stock car it would come across. I could beat LT1 Camaros and Birds driving and shifting with one hand while holding a blizzard from DQ

lol, just keep thinking that buddy! I'd just recommend going on YouTube or any ls/lt forum and see what they are running on practically stock engines....and it ain't 14's!

DISCLAIMER: Don't do 135 on the street!! It's super-uber-mega-ultra-illegal-to-the-enth-power and under no circumstances am I advising it!!!

It's also damned expensive if you get caught, I did.
 
This is why we advised you, to take it to the track.

Because we've all been caught when we were teenagers.
**** happens, just live and learn!

Never accept a race from someone who isn't even capable of taking it to a track.
(because he knew that he would spin or stall the motor under pressure, ha)
 
I wasn't racing anyone. I was on a bridge, and I didn't notice the cop take the on ramp behind me. I was having a **** day and wanted a speed giggle. I wasn't laughing in the end.

Um, you do know that "ws6" is the handling package, right? It really doesn't make it faster in a straight line.
 
Ya know I just watched Mecums auction this weekend, and all of the top ten cars in the long list earlier in this thread were there. L88 vettes (two of em, including a "1 of 2" red on red which still had not hit reserve at half a million dollars) ZL1 camaros, Hemi Cudas and Chargers etc etc. almost every Vette sold for at least 100 grand or more.
I never should have sold that 78 T/A :( That car was a paint job and some interior work away from being a $50,000 car in today's market apparently....

Live and learn.

Don't feel to bad, back in '76 I bought my mom's 69' Z28 Camaro from her. I had it for about 4-5 months , of coarse I was to young to have a license [I was 14 at the time], and I decided to sell it so I could by a lawn tractor and start a lawn mowing business, which I did do pretty good at , but the car was and still is worth way more thanthe buisness. I sold the car with 70K on it for $400. dollars. talk about living and learning:o
