Got spanked by a z28.

MaXXuS · #1 05-31-2006, 09:14 PM

Yea, so i was driving to work this morning and I saw this clean z28 that had a license plate that said "SVT HA" First I laughed and giggled like a little school girl, then I figured fuck it! Mind as well see how bad I lose. So we get to a stop light and the light turns green, first thing off the line he jumps me, so we keep going and we probably hit 70 before we shut down, but he had a good car on me. I just knoded my head a smiled. I think if i would have had a good launch he may have only beat me by a half a car. Anyways, that thing was pretty nice&clean plus quick as hell. Oh yeah, lol, there was some focus SVT right next to us when we launched lol, i thought he was going to try and get in on it, but I guess he had a better mind.

judging by the headlites probably a 98. In order for a z28 to be that quick he has to have some decent mods right? I mean hes talking svt ha, well you mind as well say 12sec car ha. Aren't LS1's like mid-low 13's stock?

Mid-low 13s... lol

Nah, high 13s on a good day. Mid 13s on a perfect run, maybe.

LS1's will run mid 13s all day if the driver is worth his beans... most aren't.

so you guys raced to about first and half of second.....short race....yeah I would say if you would have done a 5000rpm launch and raced two gears you might have been right next to him or even a little ahead.....

uh..if it was a '98 its an LS1 not LT1..

Mods to your car???
Sounds like he probably shouldn't have that plate.

if it was a LT1 you had a good race on your hands regardless from roll or dig

but a LS1 would kill you pretty good either way, unless your modded

But i raced an LS2 GTO on two occasions and hung better with both of them than with this guy.

You must've raced Danno, JUST KIDDING!!!! An LS2 powered GTO should snarf your car pretty good from what i've seen of your mods. It's all in the driver. RWD/ FWD cars are not that easy to get outta the hole.

Considering you only raced him to 70mph, he did quite well, and beating you off the line would be hard for most anyone w/ a rwd cars without slicks or drag radials.

I'm actually surprised he jumped on you right away from a dig. I would think the AWD would get you an early but short lived head start.

hard to say what the outcome would've been if you had raced to 100+,, but my guess is he would just walk away from you.

I had a shitty launch, bad actually. Oh and about my mods they don't do much (yet), maybe an 8hp difference? But the car is capable of doing a quarter in 13.7 bone stock (which i still have to prove cuz the other time slips werent good enough, damnit right_lirrr)

There are always the 94-2002 Cobra's that are SVT's. As well as the SVT Slowcus.

I'd love to see a 13.7 sec. out of a stock WRX. I have yet to see a stock one pull off a 14 sec. flat 1/4 mile, let alone get in the 13's BONE STOCK.

If you live in Southern California you're more then welcome to accompany Danno and I to Famoso Raceway to see what your car can do. We will be going on June 17, 2006.
