It'd been a while since i had some decent races, but recently i guess im just getting lucky.
I was leaving the ymca and a white trans am flies by... looks like an LT1 so i decide to play chase. Catch up to him a few miles down the road and get next to him... i just coast for a couple and then i hit it... no contest because i obviously had a good jump. Few more miles and we hit a light. i know he wants some revenge. Im actually lined up behind him (there's a cts next to him) light goes green he takes off, i follow. I had started about 1 car length off his back bumper. I quickly change lanes and pull all the way up to him and then put a car on him up to about 110, then tables turned, damned v8. Either way, he lost the drag pretty good.
Verdict: always feels good to beat a v8, even if it is just an LT1.

Some good ol' fun... Nice to see people still getting some race stories up on these boards...
P.S: There's a double post of your thread...
Nice kill, though

Nice race. Have you ever taken that thing to the track. With that kind of kill you should be hitting 13's.

nice race.
I'll close your duplicate thread. But in the future, please click on the edit button, adn delete it yourself. Helps if everybody cleans up after themselves.

Good kill. LT1's are not the quickest stock, but they can be modded pretty dang easy with some decent heads/cam.

A buddy from another board has a similar setup to yours. He ran a 14.1 sec. 1/4 mile at 101mph. It should run 13's, but it's all in the 60'. Cams really wake those cars up. I'd highly advise you to look into getting a more aggressive cam.
