my camaro vs 99 ls1

[whoisdabomb86]

so i lined them up with a track car today, he just got back from running a 1/4 mile, he got timed at a consistent 13.45, well say 13.5 i raced him tonight, i got a real bad reaction time, due to him doing something ive never seen done before, which is trying to create a trans brake with a foot and gas technique, and he started going broadside, nunetheless, hes got nitto 555r drag radials and still grabbed without a hitch. i lost, which i expected, by about 4 cars, even with the bad launch. i figured ill put it here rather than the street racing forum, cuz of the fact there was 2 camaros involved. it was my first v8 race and my first loss, since the new motor, but at least it was to my buddy, and to a camaro.

he was running 13's? most ls1's i see at the track run in the high 11's or low to mid 12's. was that just one run?

its not that dissapointing, the motor isnt internally built, its alot of boltons, he just dug off the line, and put 4 cars, no more no less, i couldnt get them back. just one race, quick and simple, hes a buddy of mine, we just did it on the way over my other buddys house. so if i dug harder, and mashed pedal off the line, im hopefully looking at 13.9 or 13.8. i gotta get to the track tho
