ls1 vs lt1

[NE98LS1]

my buddy i work with has a ws6 lt1 stock A4 and i have a ls1 trans am (non ws6) with a lid, free ram air, and a cat back. i should be able to take him pretty easy shouldn't i? by how much? he seems to think he can take me.

I know anyone with an LT1 T/A is gonna flame me, but I have never been impressed with LT1 T/As. The LS1s run awesome, but I have never seen a stock LT1 that wasn't a Z28 break into the 13s, especially the autos. You'll kill him, and I don't think that's an understatement

Being He's a WS6 A4 He might edge You off the line and maybe even get 1 to 2 car lengths on You. But his lead wont last. And if you get the jump it will be very ugly.

The only thing I would check first is what kind of WS6. Are you sure He is not an LT4, if he is a LT4 car and He gets the jump, you will need more then a 1/4 mile to catch up to Him.

I'm not sure there was ever a stock LT4 WS6? Not that I have heard of anyways

My bad. I was confusing WS6 with the Firehawk Formula LT4. I think they made only 30 of them anyway. Plus they were all M6 cars not A4.

Hell, I thought I was gonna learn about a sweet a$$ car I hadn't heard of, lol. There were 400 97 SSs with the LT4 :love:
Sorry about the highjacking ne98

[oneBADDz]

if you race him on the streets he will shit himself. dont do it on highway he may have suicidal thoughts from 70-145:approved:

once it warms up this summer, i'll get ya'll the results and maybe some pics!

If you can drive your M6 you have no worries. I'd predict 2-3 car lead easy.

[NE98LS1]

i am really bad at driving my m6 beings as i'm an A4 also :D (i didn't specify that, sorry)

[98tadriver]

have you ever ran your car at the track? what kinda of times did u turn??
I raced my friends 97 LT1 T/A when i had a lid/catback vs his intake/catback. both cars are M6's and we both can shift like we were born to.

the first 60' were close.. then he became just another object in my rearview mirror, getting smaller and smaller.

My friend has a 94 z28 m6 with 3:73 bone stock engine and I have a 96 T/A M6 with just induction and air foil. My 98 Formula M6 kills both BAD on the street. Have not ran them at the track but on the street it was sad. My buddy thought his new gears were great until he raced me.. :)

[98tadriver]

hehe my friend with his 98 cobra thought he was gonna beat me with his new 4.10s and other mods, lol man was he upset

They mad 100 SS LT4 Camaro's

My brother has one with .6 miles on it.

[ss~zoso~ss]

Are You Kidding Me?

[tx77015ls1]

Bought it new in 97 with .5 miles on it. Trailered it home, and has not moved in 9 years.

Most LT1 cars will run low 14's completly stock.. even if your a bad driver you should nose him out. LT1's do respond well to mods, especially head/cam as the heads are the bigest setback on LT1's.
