Got called out..

[articz28]

This is gonna be some good stuff. I just got a call from one of my buddies saying that I am supposed to meet this 97 GT that has been talking trash for some time now. I talked to him once and he kept saying that there is know way a LS1 can touch his car. In his own words it will run 8.20's in the 1/8th with nothing more than a cold air kit and he says the rear end isn't stock. I have seen under the hood of the car it has the cold air but is stock otherwise. He is on factory rims and tire size to. My car is a 2000Z28, Free mods, LID, Headers, TR55's, MSD wires, 3:73's and TSP mail order tune. He doesn't know the mods just that he thinks his car can't be beat. So what do everybody think? How many bus lengths?:drivin:

[volksmech1]

well if his is an auto id say he is gonna have a sore ass when ya get done raping him by like 5 bus lengths if its a manual and he can drive id say maybe 3 buses. that includes you stoping for coffee in between start and stop :spank:

[articz28]

It is a 5-speed and he can't drive it well at all.

[BIG D's SS]

Unless he has a little giggly juice I say that is an ass whipping on layaway for him. Let us know how it turns out.

[john]

As an owner of a 97 GT I can say that if you lose this race you should have your car repossessed and your license revoked. A new amendment to the constitution should be written that prohibits you from ever owning another vehicle again. And everyone on this board should take turns kicking you in the nuts.

john

[john]

To answer your question...

6 bus lengths.

[fordguy18]

a non-pi gt with gears against a modded ls1! hahaha!!:lol:

[MikeSomething]

:lol: Man, this thread is cracking me the hell up! I'm tryin to understand where this guy is coming from... Maybe he's only raced 4bangers? Maybe he's only raced one 1980 V6 Camaro? Who knows? I've beaten '02 GTs when I really hadn't even broken my car in yet and won. All I can say is I hope he has NOS so you're not too bored!

[articz28]

Hey guys I will post up the results after the race tonight. But yeah this should be some fun.

[MarkuzLS1]

8.2 in the 1/8th isn't bad. Faster than my (nearly) stock WS6 (it does 8.6@84).

[sapper4525]

He sounds like all bark and no bite. The 96-98s are turds. With just a cold air kit he could have 4.56 gears and it would make no difference. I had a 97 and got pulled by a V6 Golf. Granted it was an auto vert, but still. :thumbdn:

[articz28]

well it didn't go to good for him. :lol: I showed up at the spot and he was like pop you hood. I was like sure if it makes you feel better. He glances at it for like 2 secs and says no problem. I ask if he wants to run for money he said no. Well anyway we go out to this old highway and line up from a dig and at the start was the only time he was beside me. You could have fit a train between us I mean it was that bad. And to top it of afterwards he says that the reason he lost so bad was because he just had U-joints put in it and they needed to be greased.:dunno: I said alright (not wanting to agrue that stickers would make him faster to) and offered to shake his hand and tell him good run. He just looks at me and says I will see you in 2 weeks and we will run for 20 bucks then just drives off doesn't shake my hand or anything. So in 2 weeks I will get a 1/2 tank of gas free:yup: .

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

:haha: Good kill bro...always nice to put a loudmouth in his place. Grease his u-joints huh:lol:...hopefully you laughed in his face cause I would've. I doubt he'll race you again...but then again he raced you to begin with so he obviously knows nothing about cars. What speed did you end up going up to?

[articz28]

I ran it up to about 90 and rolled out of it cause I was so far ahead I could have stopped for coffee and still beat him across the 1/4 mile mark.

[BLKbandit98]

Go And Rip Him Apart.

[woodymaro]

THE ONLY WAY A MUSTANG COULD RUN AN 8.2 IN THE 1/8 MILE IS IF IT IS ON A TRAILER BEING PULLED BY AND LS1!!!:true: ANYWAY GOOD KILL MAN.

[MikeSomething]

You should bring a grease gun next time so he has nomore BS excuses. If it was me, I'd have a tire gauge, mini-compressor, a timing light, and maybe a set of wrenches incase he had anymore of those wonderful excuses.

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

:haha:

[articz28]

Yeah the guy needs to just accept defeat. But yeah I think one of my buddies got it on vid, if he did I will post it up for everybody to watch. :Popcorn:

[The Rookie]

I think that the 97 GT could smoke the Board today. This site is moving sooooo slow today, that my nephew who just started walking could put 10 bus links on it!:thumbdn:

[NIevo]

[volksmech1]

glad someone put him in his place. make sure the coffee is from mc donalds so you can get a million dollars for spilling it in your lap while you laugh at him

[BlkBird01NHRA]

:dunno: Maybe greasing his u-joints was his way of admitting defeat- didn't want to say he needed to grease his rear end since that would be to direct.

[ss~zoso~ss]

race him for money!!!!!!!

[CamaroKillZ28]

20bucks? thats it man....try at least 100...ya 20 for each bus you put between him

Yeah, maybe true. But, I think we've got a 10 post minimum before you're allowed to talk shit here. Don't worry, you're only four away.:slap:

[Chris Arnold]

Youngun, I've actually been around a lot longer than you have, and I used to post under the name "12sMustang". Because that moniker no longer fits, and because it was deleted somehow, I've changed my name. We'll see if the admins can restore my post count and original sign up date.

Chris

[BLOWN_70_CAMARO]

It's been almost 2 weeks hear anthing on the next race. .... Man give him 2 car lenghts and $50 on the table. Anyone can aford to lose $20. Just watch when he comes back he could have a NOS kit hooked up hidden. That what people do around here take an ASS whoopin know but get ya for big $$$$$ later.

[jking]

8.2 in the 1/8th isn't bad. Faster than my (nearly) stock WS6 (it does 8.6@84).


He probably runs 10.20 in the 1/8.

8.20's would probably put him well into the 12's, which ain't happening for him.


My brother, my cousin, and several friends had 02'-04' GT's when I had my cars (Z28, C5, and Mach 1).

I used to put cruise ship lengths on them and they run a hell of a lot better than the 97's.

[jking]

Those 04' GT's I knew ran 9.20-9.40 in the 1/8th BTW..

[articz28]

I talk to the guy last night. He said his clutch fluid was low so we couldn't race but we would another time for fun. I told him that I was not going to pull up to the line for under $20. He shut up then but still said he was faster than me. Oh well I ain't worried about it.

[Warbird]

He might be in the process of installing a nitrous kit or some other stuff. Watch for the bait and switch, but his car will probably still be slow considering it only has 215hp stock.

In your other post it said your name was 12sMustang, correct. So let me get this straight, it ONLY took a fully built motor and twin turbos to get you there. WOW MUSTANGS ARE GREAT!!! Hold on and let me change my air filter and we'll be door handle to door handle. :slap: I love MUSTANG guys, they're intelligent.

Put your airfilter on and bring it, stud! :notworthy:

haha, no... I was still running a 302 c.i. n/a with just a heads/intake/cam combo when I made it into the 11s, and it was a perfectly mild mannered street car. It went 11.96@112.9 mph. When that car was running high 12s, I selected my screen name on this site. It ran pretty even with a guy that had headers and a cam in his LS1. I was impressed with the potential of the LS1, but he was a friend and I know what he spent on that stuff. I had just about as much invested in my car.

My last twin turbo car actually never ran that quick because I always raced on road courses with it and kept the suspension stiff and never put on drag tires. I took it to the track a couple of times and the best I got out of it was a 12.01@122 mph on a 2.0 60', and you might have had a chance with some serious bolt-ons in a drag race, but still probably couldn't catch it on a highway. That car had a stock shortblock complete with a stock cam, and a GT40 intake w/ GT40X heads. It was really only limited by the stock block.

The current set up (I'm building) won't be limited by the block and will make as much power as I'll ever be interested in having.

YEAH 11.9's and you forgot to mention your car was totally gutted with a 4.56 rearend and a 250 SHOT OF SPRAY!!!! Or it ran 11.9's on a trailer being pulled by a TOP FUEL DRAGSTER, with you inside pretending to steer and shift gears. "Perfectly mild mannered street car." I'd like to know your definition of mild mannered street car. It must be some thing that doesn't require Nitro-Methenal and doesn't pull the front tires off the ground 3ft!!!

[SailorZ28]

Simple fact of the matter is...a Mustang costs a LOT more to get into the 12's than a LS1 ever would. You just can't argue with the horsepower numbers and the displacement.

[Roastem]

In his own words it will run 8.20's in the 1/8th with nothing more than a cold air kit and he says the rear end isn't stock.

He is on crack. Tell that guy to put that stem down and get his lies straight. :leghump:

It might run "in the eight second range" with 4.56 gears, a 150 shot NOS, full exhaust, and slicks. Nice kill, and try to get more money out of him. If he is smart, he will spend that money in good mods instead of losing face.

[Roastem]

My brother, my cousin, and several friends had 02'-04' GT's when I had my cars (Z28, C5, and Mach 1).

Rank those cars from fav to least fav in your opinion.

I know you just want to provoke me, but here goes:

It idled so easily that you couldn't tell it was cammed. It had a full-interior, and looked stock everywhere except the engine bay. I even ran the stock pony wheels on the street. It would however pull a tire off the ground on a hard launch with ET Drags. The rear had 4.10s in it. It still made 21 mpg on one long trip from NY to OH.

Chris

[Chris Arnold]

Ah, now that's what I remembered about the LS1 guys. How I love the superiority complexes. It's good to keep stangers like me around lest dumb comments like this one go unchecked.

12s for a 5.0 mustang can be had with headers, gears, minor bolt-ons and good traction. I think you could do it for a grand or less without going the nitrous route.

How much does an LS1 cost? My combo was an expensive way to get into the 11s, but consisted of AFR 165 heads ($1325), a Cobra intake (400), a custom cam (325), roller rockers (200), Long tube headers and o/r H-pipe (260), 4.10 gears (150), 75mm MAF (180), and 65mm throttle body (150). That's $3,000 for all-new parts. Add $3000 for the car, and that's 11s for $6,000.

Or, if comparing the price of cars isn't fair, take a look at the supercharged cobras... Sure it takes a supercharger from the factory (actually the 00 Cobra R did it too), but they're still faster and are much cheaper to get into 11s or 10s than the LS1.

You might have had a valid argument if you'd said that the small block chevy 350 based motors were cheaper to modify, but even that'd be a long drawn out never-ending argument. Since when were LS1s cheap to modify?

I thought you were about to write a poem! That would have been funny as hell.

It idled so easy, you might think it was cheesy
It looked so stock, like your moms Irish clock
Pull a tire off the ground, with ET Drags, and prolly smoke all you fags
21 mpg, to save my ends, but, what's this, it's got 4.10's!!!

That is the most RETARDED statment I have heard come out of your mouth yet!!! :slap: An LS1 cammed and sprayed would eat an 03 & 04 cobra ALIVE!!! Cam = $350
Spray = $650 That is less than a pulley, full exhaust, intake and a tune for a 03, 04 cobra, and the cobra would still lose. There is also a video floating around here some where of a TA running in the 10's with a T-REX cam and headers (stock heads!!!) and I think that is it. NOW THAT IS FAST!!! Try to do that with a MUS-STANK!!! :drivin:

So, you can add spray to your LS1, but that you can't to an '03 Cobra? You aren't adding the tune for the LS1, either. Who's making retarded statements?

How much is a pulley?

Haha... and by the way, since the internals in the Cobra are stronger than the stock LS1 internals, you can also add a bigger nitrous shot to the Cobra than you can to the LS1.

You lose,

Chris

[RGR Pete]

Isnt yours a 5.0:dunno: 03/04 Cobra's with X-pipe,pulley and tune run high 11's @119 to 125 (Due to IRS=bad 60'). I broke into the 11's with a baby cam and longtubes. Since adding heads it still gets 22mpg.

[woodymaro]

Chris Arnold, YOU ARE NOT LISTENING, I'm saying that it doesn't take as much to get an LS1 into the 10's!!! Like I said TA W/ T-REX & LT's and TUNE = 10's there is a video to prove it. $ for $ an LS1 is better.

[Chris Arnold]

Gotcha, Pete. Yep, I've stuck with the old sbf 5.0-based engine. That's pretty quick for headers and a cam, bud! No matter what mod you get in the stang, it won't beat the bang-for-the-buck you're getting with the glock mod...

It's a pain in the ass to launch on that IRS, but damned if those motors don't lay down some impressive numbers. Kinda sucks to be on the wrong side of these supercharged motors... You wanna quit, ranger?

03/04 Cobras put up good mph and dyno numbers, as does the Supra. I don't go to the Dyno to race and a dyno sheet doesnt cut good lights. My car has some low dyno #'s and OK times. 5.0's are good motors, they just don't have enough headbolts to keep em together.
It seems that I will have to up-grade to a H&K mod this summer:love:

DUDE IT'S NOT ON TV YOU STUPID DOUCHE. IT'S A VIDEO OF SOME ONES ACTUAL CAR!!!! BRAGGING ABOUT HOW FAST YOUR MUSTANG IS OR ANY MUSTANG FOR THAT MATTER, IS LIKE SAYING YOUR THE SMARTEST KID WITH DOWN SYNDROME. YOUR STILL F@#*ING SLOW!!! :thumbdn:

You're kung-fu is weak. Did you build the car? How do you know its mods? I don't even know which car you're talking about, but if it's running 10s I can tell you with complete certainty that you're leaving out some modifications. If you think that a cam and headers with no other modifications will get you there, you're confused.

You're way out of your league calling my current mustang slow...

Compare cars you've actually built instead of comparing what you think has been done to a car. I've built 4 mustangs and I'm fairly confident saying that every one of them was faster than your current camaro and for less money altogether.

I'm still waiting for you to put your LS1 with an airfilter up against my twin-turbo... haha....you're too much!

[Chris Arnold]

03/04 Cobras put up good mph and dyno numbers, as does the Supra. I don't go to the Dyno to race and a dyno sheet doesnt cut good lights. My car has some low dyno #'s and OK times.

You may be right about the Cobras. Haven't tried to race on that IRS, myself. I know I've seen plenty of them with the stock blower and stock rear running 11s, but don't know if I've seen any 10 second ones.

I also know that i've seen those cobras running 9s and 8s at fun ford weekend with the stock long-block... Don't think there are too many LS1s doing that, though I'm sure there's a few. The internals for a production engine are awesome in that Cobra engine.

5.0's are good motors, they just don't have enough headbolts to keep em together.

Haha, at least I can get the spark plugs out reset the timing without haveing to pull the engine, chevy-boy.

It seems that I will have to up-grade to a H&K mod this summer:love: Sweet!! I'm a little old-fashioned. I have the colt 1911 mod.

Quit?? I've not yet started. Go have a beer at Scooters

It sucks, bro... Scooters has been changed to "The Firehouse" and is on Bennings black-list with CID crawling all around it, now.

[Chris Arnold]

Woody, I took a look at your profile:

98 Z28 A4 free mods, borlamouth exhaust, and MTI lid. best 1/8 8.62 @ 84.3 best 1/4 13.3 @ 105.8 2.02 60'. 99 TA M6 SLP lid and a cut out. no times yet on the TA but soon to come. .BYE OFFICER

So, yep... I was right. If my mustang is down-syndrome slow doesn't that make your f-bodies geriatric? Can you believe that my first 5.0 - a car that started off as a high 14 second car -j ran a better 1/4 than your 98Z with nothing more than Long-tubes, o/r H ($260), rear gears ($150), pullies ($70), springs from a 4cyl car up front (free), and drag radials ($228)? That's $708 for mods and add $2500 for the car...

That is all,

Geriatric???? Your calling our f-bodies OLD. Of or relating to the aged or to the characteristics of the aging process??? Good Kill man, that one hurt.:thumbdn: So all it took was just: Long tubes, off road H, full exhuast, rear gears, pullies, some suspision, and drag radials,(plus intake you forgot to mention an intake) and in a lot lighter car and thats it. What did you run a 13.29 :blowme:

[Chris Arnold]

Geriatric???? Your calling our f-bodies OLD. Of or relating to the aged or to the characteristics of the aging process???

No, I'm calling your specific f-bodies (the ones belonging to you) slow: as in as slow as old people. Nevermind, it's ok... I'll define words longer than three syllables so you don't have to go running to the dictionary (a book with the meaning of words in it), anymore.

So all it took was just: Long tubes, off road H, full exhuast, rear gears, pullies, some suspision, and drag radials,(plus intake you forgot to mention an intake) and in a lot lighter car and thats it. What did you run a 13.29 :blowme:

I didn't forget anything. I listed every aftermarket (of or pertaining to commercial products sold to enhance something) part added to the car, except the $40 flat-panel K&N air-filter. "Some suspension" consisted of taking softer springs off of a friend's 4 cyl car and putting them on mine. And what's this, you're crying about the fact that mustangs come lighter than F-bodies...boohoo!! Run what you brung, Mr. Superior (better than something) F-body owner, and with that super-fast car, you definitely (certainly) don't have enough.

I was shooting for 12s, but ran a 13.0 instead. So yeah, I'm really impressed with your LS1... It's only making 100 rwhp more than my mustang did and runs 3 tenths slower. Super!

Gears, exhaust, and pullies. Tires had to be replaced regardless. The springs were free. As much shit as you're talking I'd think that your LS1 would be able to outrun such a slow car, but the "down-syndrome" mustang would've put bus-lengths on you out of the hole and even with 100 extra rwhp you couldn't run me down before the traps.... how embarrassing (causing to feel self-conscious).

You haven't been doing this very long have you? You're getting man-handled and you can't even tell. :lol: Keep posting... this is fun!

Chris

[mrr23]

gone far enough.

[Ed Blown Vert]

Why can't I find ignorant LS1 owners around here?

It's probably because none of them are fast enough to talk shit...

Chris

Just wow :rolleyes:

[mrr23]

the reason why you can't find ignorant ones is because ignorance means not having knowledge. and there's plenty of us with knowledge around here. you think he'd look that up in a dictionary before using it.
