13's actually. Lower half. Way down there.
Problem is, with the LS1 cars, they have VERY good top end power, and using those 1/8 mile times to determine 1/4 miles is difficult.
Thanks for the clarification.

'Scuse me?
Lickem, you list a 8.3 as your 1/8th mile time? Usually a 10-11 point somethin is around a high 16-17 second 1/4 (please someone correct me if I am wrong). So that would make your 1/4 around 15 seconds? Maybe high 14s?
I would expect better from a Camaro, especially when these "epitimy of ricers" [sic], which are so pathetic, frequently reach the same times.
1. i would like to clarify that this thread was not directed towards cavaliers, or imports( the car in subject just happend to be a cavalier. Im making fun of the ignorance of the driver.
2. Secondly in my opinion a ricer is someone who knows absolutely nothing about cars and thinks they know everything.
How to prove said opinion
1. The truck exhaust,
-----the guy was running 3" truck exhaust in a 2.2 liter cavalier, and thinking he is gaining 30hp, when in reality he is probably losing hp
2. Autozone intake,
was not properly installed, he only hooked it up to the TB and didnt even bolt it down, estimated around 30hp, once again the most he was gaining was 5hp
3. MY tricky import comment
The funny thing is that the cavalier isnt even an import and he didnt know that.

I don't know why other people couldn't detect that. The thread originally pokes fun at those Autozone 'racers' who stereotypically believe that a nice big wing for downforce and a chrome muffler attatchment surrounded by blue LED lights certifies them as knowledgable car enthusiasts.
