So these happened awhile back but they are still very dissapointing.
First dissapoinment is the 04 ls1 GTOs. With so much hype about how they are so fast blah blah blah. I was on my way home from work on the interstate. This yellowjacket 04 6spd comes out of no where and gets on my bumper for no reason. So i figure ok then so i opened it up a little and pulled a car or so and let off. He pulls up beside me and revs his car. Well it being close to midnight and no traffic i thought ok well lets drop a little speed and go from there. He wouldnt. I ended up racing him from a 70 roll. I pulled him about 7 cars and let off. He wouldnt get back beside me and a couple miles down the road he took an exit. I just expected more from it.
Second disappoinment is 99-04 Mustangs (excluding terminators). Now of course im sure plenty of guys on here have dusted mustangs its nothing new but this story shows how bad it really is. A buddy of mines brother has a mustang gt this bodystyle. Well i saw him out one day and figured i would play a little. I came off a stopsign sideways and he decided he wanted to ride my bumper. Well the road we were on we couldnt race right there cause of hills so i figured i would open it up and see if he could hang. He did surprisingly. He went out to pass but he couldnt make it past me. So when the road leveled out i let off so we could line them up and he just went around me. I saw him turning into a gas station so i followed him in. Unbeknownst to me it was procharged. His version is he was going to shift from 4th to 5th and fragged the clutch. He did frag the clutch but he was barely and i mean barely pulling me in in 4th and since 5th in OD i dont think he would have done anything else if he hadnt fragged the clutch. Im just disappointed by this cause my ws6 is almost stock and i held off a s/c gt. I mean if you have to s/c it to keep up with a n/a bird then get something else. Excluding terminators as previously stated cause i saw my buddies ls1 ss get embarassed by one lol.
All that i know my car has done to it is a catback , factory ram air air box (have heard it helps and then ive heard it doesnt), hypertech chip programmer, and 3.73 gears oh and its lowered ( better aerodynamics but dont let the hondas know :secret:).
Now if it has any more mods i dunno cause all i know for sure is the gears cause i put the rear out of my formy in it, the rest was done to it when i got it. For referance though i raced a modded (atleast exhaust cause it was louder than mine and mine is loud) ls1 ss m6 both times were 40 rolls. First run he jumped me half a car and i pulled back half a car around him and he let off. Second run we launched sametime and at the top of 4th he had pulled his back bumper even with my front. I also raced a buddies modded (once again unsure what it has done to it except exhaust but ive seen it eat quite a few other ls1s) ls1 ws6 a4 and when i ran him first run i pulled him by a fender and had to let out cause some idiot in a suburban waited until we were close and pulled out ion front of me. Second run i pulled him by a nose until we hit about 130 and he slowly started pulling on me.
So i know its not bad for a lt1 car. Let me rephrase that... its not bad for a almost stock lt1. So judging by this do you think it may have more done to it than i know? I would take it to the track but im broke lol and i dont want to risk busting the ten bolt because of the previously stated fact that im broke lol. I know they arent slicks but the 11s grab pretty good and my luck is first lauch something would break and i wouldnt be able to fix it lol.
