Raced my buddies LT1 he just bought not too long ago.
Really nice 97 w fairly low miles.
His mods are cc306, ported heads, Moser 12-bolt, full suspension, EWP, msd, etc etc.
Mine are in sig.
First time we go from a roll and I pull him hard from the hit and get about 2-2.5 cars on him.
Then we go across the border and try a few runs from a dig.
1st race, we both spin pretty good but I feather it and as soon as it hooks I jumped out HARD. He never caught me and I got him by 4 at the end.
2nd race, I got a little too happy off the launch and completely annihilated the street tires through 1st and 2nd. He had his best launch and I had my worst that race. He hit it where it didnt spin but didnt bog. When I finally hooked I started to pull but he pulled back at the very top end and got me by a car.
We get back and I say lets go best 2 out of 3. We stage, and launch and we both spun but not too bad. Pretty even start. I jumped out again after we quit spinning and put about 2 on him at the end. He was juussst starting to pull back, but we were way over what we would probably trap. Way up at the top of 4th.
All in all Im VERY VERY pleased with how my car runs. We will both get faster as we dial in a few more things. My car just has brutal torque at almost any rpm in any gear.
His seems to bog below 3500 then come alive and pull pretty hard. Doesnt really spin at all unless he launches it hard though.
Trying to keep mine from spinning is an exercise in futility. It will spin hard into 2nd and a decent amt into 3rd.
Cant wait to bolt on the slicks and open the hose!
