GTP vs. LS1 showdown
Well I talked the brother in law to come over and get a few runs in since it was dry out for a change.
I decided to drive the GTP since I wanted to give this car the best chance to win. I feel like I can drive it pretty good and I have new rubber all around. My bro in law was all to happy to take the TA for a spin. He had never driven it and I figured my GTP would do pretty good till about 80... First run, he was behind me an we were on the phone. We couldnt get beside each other so I told him to just go and pass me if he could. We were going 30mph and I got my 3-1 downshift and I was gone I took it up to 100mph and he never passed. We pulled over to talk and he said he was starting to pull but not that hard.. Disappointed we went again and got some heads up but none from a dig because traction would have been an issue for both of us. We lined up at 30mph and again I got my downshift and instantly got about 3/4 of a car. That lasted about as long as it took for me get the 3/4 length and hepulled on me hard and kept going until around 80 where i was down 3-4 cars easily. Next couple races were from 40 mph and 60 mph. Same outcome at 40 mph but from 60 he instantly started pulling. I'm guessing in a quarter mile it would be ugly but I ran a 13.9@99 this summer once i dropped the pulley and put on my front PEM. TA stomps GTP ass in the end...

Re: GTP vs. LS1 showdown
Nice races man. That would have been sweet to get them on video. I would think the GTP could hang down low with the LS1 but not up top. Come race the VR4!

Re: GTP vs. LS1 showdown
Very nice. Do you have any modding plans yet or you gonna keep her stock for now?

Re: GTP vs. LS1 showdown
Oh I got plans. Lid, LT headers, and exhaust to start but I'm doing anything till I get it to the track and see what its got stock...
The way it pulled my GTP I'm hoping for a low 13. My friend has a set of new d/r's he said I could use at the track. He used them on his V6 Firebird. That will be the only thing not stock when I hit the track for the first time...

Re: GTP vs. LS1 showdown
I see a lot of guys with F bodies talking about "doing the lid" when they talk mods. what's it actually mean? nice car by the way.

Re: GTP vs. LS1 showdown
it's a noticeable difference on an LS1, probably one of the best 'bang for the buck' mods you can do for the LS1 and in less than 20 minutes.

Re: GTP vs. LS1 showdown
Nice race man! My friend has an LS1 camaro and we made a custom intake with a cheap cone filter for like $30 and it freed it up a bit. He has SLP loudmouth exhaust too. When we race I usually get a slight lead from a 30 or 40 but by about 110 he inches past me. Those damn cars have some crazy top end, I'm sure it would get ugly if we kept going!

Re: GTP vs. LS1 showdown
I cant wait either. I'm hoping for a mid-low 13.
I just found out that I have 3.23 gears. The A4 either came with 2.73 or 3.23 and I'm glad to have the 3.23's. I'm going to throw on some d/r's and and keep it all stock and I might get that low 13.. Come on springtime...

Re: GTP vs. LS1 showdown
Slap a set of 3.73s on there and ramp it up a bit, it'll drastically improve your acceleration.
4.10s would help out the most, but being a 4-speed it'd cut down on your fuel mileage a lot more than you need. I would opt for the 4.10s if I had a 6-speed though... eh well maybe. 3.73's are almost the perfect 'street' ratio for cars like that... and mine. Stupid G8 has like a 2.42 or some crazy low ratio. The GXP G8 will have 3.73s and a 6-speed manual and another like 80hp. MotherF**ker that'll be a huge jump in performance. Luckyyyyy.
