Anyone ever killed a 4th Gen?

Stock for Stock a 4th gen is obviously faster. I know my L98 vs a LT1 id lose. Kinda makes me wanna drop a crate motor in so I can atleast beat/keep up with new sports cars.


Anyone here ever kill a 4th Gen?

Just curious...............

I've taken a couple of LT1's on the streets, but those don't really count because there is a big advantage to whomever hits it first. I have also lost to an LT1 on the streets when my car was still bone stock. The only truly fair way to compare cars is at the track, where both cars are going all-out and leaving the line at the same moment.

I have beaten a 94 LT1 at the track by about a car length in the 1/8th (I've only gotten to run against this one LT1 so far, most of the V8's at the track I visit are Mustangs or older muscle cars). I feel if the race would've been a full 1/4, I would've pulled even more, as I was travelling almost 3 mph faster than he was at the 1/8th mark.

most mildly modded L98s should easily be able to take out a stock LT1. my buddies BONE stock 97 Z ran straight 14.2's. with just full exhaust, airfoil, and chip i was running 14.1-14.0 so i got him all the time. now im in the high to mid 13's, but he got a new 99 Z that bone stock runs 13.3, and i mean BONE stock.

i own a 96 V6. the horsepower is very comparable to a 305 or 350 TPI. i have smoked a few, and have had my *** handed over to me by a few. compared to my old 3rd gen, it handles like a gremilin compared to a porsche. id say a nicley modded TPI could stand up to a LT1. now, the LS1's thats a different story...

All I got is a catback and a high flow cat.

My engine is in tip top shape, could I hang/beat a stock Lt1?


I got a jet chip, just didnt put it in yet.

Granted my 305 is far from stock...

I've never lost to a fourth gen, C4 (including a ZR-1), or a C5. I speak exclusively about track results, not street racing. It's very gratifying to know that:

1) I can whoop up on $30k+ cars AND
2) I can do it with less cubes.

I've beaten up on a few LT1's w/ my old 350 TPI set up, LS1's were fairly new when I took my car off the road to redo it, so I never really got to race only but a few. One LS1 that I did race, I only beat by two cars. He showed me a timeslip......13.2 @ 109 MPH! I was only pulling 102-103 on a 12.90-13.00 pass. I have a lot of respect for 4th Gens, but I like the styling and steering feel better in my old IROC. Plus, the new combo should be more than adequate for showing tail lights to 90% of the street driven LS1's.

Ive killed just about every LT1 I've raced,however from a dead stop I raced a auto Z once,he egged me on,so I punched it,spun like crazy and fishtailed,while he didn't even "squeal"his and pulled about 2 cars on me before I reeled him in On the highway and from a roll,stock ones are toast.The auto LT1's are only about .2-.3 qicker in the 1/4 and about equal in the 1/8 than a stock L98 anyway.Beleive it or not,I've beaten 2 LS1 T/A's and a C5 Vette,but got smoked by a 6spd SS with exhaust(atleast) on it.A late L98,or LB9/5spd can beat either stock with the right combo of boltons.

a lt1 would flat out smoke me, I haven't even tried racing them. I'll race every v6 camaro and firebird around, haven't lost to one yet. I have noticed the autos a quicker in the 40-60s mph ranges....its kinda weird because I'll smoke the v6 til 40 then they pull til 60 and I go by like they are standing still.

oh well I plan on getting a 96 ls1 TA 6 speed in two years.

My camaro wouldn't stand a chance, but my 78 grand prix killed anything it ever ran into on the street- LT1 auto z28 easy- LS1 ws6 t/a 6 speed was a much closer race- took him up to 65 and let off and talked to him later-he was going all out. also took a 70 skylark gs 455 4 speed, lots of five point slows, handas left and right, can't even remember em all. I had a 403 olds from '79 t/a .030 over 472/496 cam, true duals off manifolds, th350, open rear, 3.08s. If i had posi and 3.73's no one woulda been close. i know i'm gonna catch hell cus no one will believe my gibberish, but suit yourself.

My roomate had a stock 95 TA 6spd, and I have a stock 89 Iroc 5.7 without the g92 option. I don't know where you all got your l98 motors from, but mine isn't even in the same time zone as his lt1. he blows my doors off. I have noticed that I can keep up for a litle ways if we both start racing around 30 or 40 mph. Me thinks it maybe has to do with my tall gearing and his low 6spd.

I took down a LS1 SS a couple times in a row from rolls, and beat a couple LT1 Zs and TAs. I want to race more LS1s and find out if winning is going to be a regular occurance or not though...

I also managed to pull on a 95 ZR1 at least 3 times from 45-50 mph roll ons. I'm convinced that's got to be a fluke, no way I'm making over the 95 ZR1's 405hp though (I'm thinking I'm making 360-375ish at best so something doesn't add up against that ZR1...) Owner was nice though, older guy so surely he could drive...

i think a lot of you guys are so full of it its not even funny. a 305 beating an lt1? he has like 100 more horsepower than you. did he know how to drive? you stock l98's i think are not telling the truth, however any modified (valve covers have been off) 350 has a decent chance N/A. later

I was just woundering what you are basing this off of? I work at a drag strip and every weekend we have plenty of LS1, Lt1, L98, and Lb9 cars running in many different states of modification. The stock LT1's run mainly 14.2 to 14.0 with a few factory freak cars running 13.8's. 14.2 is normal, my lightly moded 305 runs 14.6 with a 2.73 rearend. With some more gear, a stall, and ported stock heads stock LT1's wouldnt be a problem. As far as the L98's they need very little work to beat up on LT1's.

i am basing this off of the fact that lt1's are far superior to any stock engine that cam in a thirdgen, it takes a lot of modding for l98's to perform as well as them. also, who races any car without any mods? also, your light mods- i dont consider a cam a light mod, and with light mods lt1's drop in the 13's easily. i know so many l98's on this board struggling to get into the 13's its not even funny. anyone else?

with some more prom tuning, 3.73 gears ( I have 3.27s right now ), better tires (was running BFG Radials 265/50/16 on the rear that was at the wear mark), and a better hand at launching, I know that I can take out a Z06

Alot of people race with out mods, over half the cars out there dont have mods. I new this would come up. If you know any thing about your cars you'd know that the 305 had 2 different cams. I had the smaller of the 2 and the cam I put in is the same grind as the other. I've read some of your other post and I shouldn't even argue with you cause you have no idea what you are talking about.

Here are some hard numbers for all of for said motors.
1987 305 215HP, 295TQ. 350 225HP, 330TQ

1992 305 230HP, 300TQ. 350 245HP, 345TQ

1997 LT1 285HP, 325TQ

2000 LS1 305HP, 335TQ

Note the troque specs, does take much work to mod ours to take them stock. Which was his original question yes you can take 4th gens N/A just akes a little cash.

look at our fricken engines compared to theirs. they have like at least 50 at 90 more horsepower than our cars, not to mention more torque. where are you gonna get that horsepower from with mods? are you one of those people that really think headers add 30 horsepower, cuz they dont. thats like head work and a cam right there to run with one, and by then its not really a modded thirdgen powerplant, its something completely different. there is a difference between a modded motor running with a 4th gen and a reworked motor running with a thirdgen. you can do anything you want with enough money. you read my other posts you see that i get tired of people who cant grow up and realize that our cars were made over a decade ago and dont perform with the new sports cars. i am buying a crate engine because i know (doesnt everyone) that the lg4 is a dog and i will not throw a penny at it to improve it. normally i kinda let people talk, but when the 305'ers start saying they beat 4th gens with 70 more horsepower than them i have to say something...

I've beat my share of both LT1's and LS1's and been beaten by just as many. Some of the worst beatings I've took on the street were from LS1's.

13.34@106.7 - needs more gear and converter

1992 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible

I have to agree with unknown host. A thirdgen 350 car can run anywhere from 15.2 to at the absolute most high 14's from the factory. I have seen 350 formulas run 15.2 with 70K miles and bone stock. the 305 is right behind that. The LT1 cars run high 13's to low 14's bone stock. LS1 cars run low 13's to very high 12's.

future mods:
completely done over suspension, black paint with flames,
T-56 almost ready to go in, TPI swap coming up

Wifes new car:

95Z28, AT, leather, T-tops bone stock for now.

future mods:
header to tailpipe replacement and a cold air intake. Then I am just going to leave it alone

If your 3.2x geared L98 runs any worse than a mid 14 you're doing something wrong. Especially if it's a 90-92 car. That is not far behind a LT1 auto by any means. Free mods can easily get you within striking distance. If you do full exhaust, free mods, etc you'll be on into the 13s easy. All this is assuming you can tune the car worth a **** and drive decently...

The LS1 is a little diffferent though. First off they don't really make 305hp at the crank like the numbers say. It's closer to 300 hp at the wheels, ie 340-ish at the crank. That's the reason everyone, even pretty modded LT1s have trouble with decently driven LS1s. They're fast stock, but they've got all the goodies. Great flowing heads, high lift cam, decent exhaust, great intake, etc, etc. Not near as crippled as older motors... Now if only they'll not bitch out and kill the Camaro off, the LS1 is screaming for a decent looking Camaro to be dropped into. Hell remake the 67 SS with no changes with a modern interior and drivetrain and I'll buy one tomorrow, lol..

But anyway, if you can't get your 3.2x geared L98 to run with stock LT1s just give up and stop making us all look bad. Because you're either the worlds worse mechanic, got a lemon motor, or can't drive for ****...

I've only got to race 2 LT1's since my new Vortec motor. beat them both, but I don't think I could take an LS1 yet. Hopefully once I get the engine tuned a bit better I will be able to at least give them a run. My exhaust is heat shrunk and my engine runs extremely rich.

high 12s for a STOCK LS1 is bogus, Im sorry but watch these cars run and 13.6- 13.9 seems to be about avg. Anyone who can break a stock LT1 into the 13s has my respect, I personally have seen many try and none succeed.

I dont know if my track (union grove wisc) is a slow track but I had to throw that in.
