On my way home tonight, Amelia and I were coming down Hull St. and I pulled up to a stoplight next to one of the newer SS Camaro's. When the light turned green we both took off. I had to ease into the throttle because I was on street tires, but when I saw that I wasn't pulling on him I got anxious. By the time I got into the top of 1st gear I'd floored it and started to spin pretty bad so I eased back out of it and then got back on it when they stopped spinning. We were neck and neck when I shifted into 2nd, with a bark of the tires. Slowly I started to ease away from him up until I let off at the top of 2nd. I probably didn't have any more on him than a car and a half at the most because of of not being able to give it full throttle in first gear. Next time out, I WILL be on drag radials

 

Impressive, not to take away from you, just wondering, don't the SS's pull a lot harder at higher speeds rather than take off?

 

About having your pants down that reminds me,
Say no to crack...

 

Yea, they do...but I'm not too worried about a stock LS1 on the top end. Didn't have any problems hanging with them through the backhalf of the 1/4 last season and my car is substantially faster this season. I'll have some updated ET's Friday night.

 

Well in my 94 Trans Am I could hang right with one until 80mph then bye,bye it was gone

 

Good kill. I wouldnt mind being able to hang with an ls1, stock or not. Someday I will.
Later Barrett

 

The LS1's are definitly top end cars. When my IROC had only exhaust mods and a couple other free things I could hang through first and second then when 3rd gear came they were gone. 3rd gear in those cars is when it wakes up and just starts to really pull.
