not a kill yet but soon 2 be one

[Ieatstangs]

my neighbor has an escalade with a 6 liter he swears up and down that he cant beat me he has a nice exhaust system he says he has 2 flowmaster mufflers on one pipe it sounds good wateva it is and earlier he on a cai but i still feel like i'll blow tha doors off of him wat do u all think

[7camaro7]

not even close... you'll beat him in reverse

[Ieatstangs]

hahahaha:lol:

[Lawnman]

Just remember power to weight .
I think you should play dumb and try to get him bet you . That way you can get some cash for mods .

[Ieatstangs]

Yea I think I will cuz I badly need 2 start ima tell him 150 and then ima go get a lid

[Midnight02]

It's going to take a blower or a really big shot of N20 on that Escalade before you have anything to worry about. I'd definitely listed for any suspicious whining noise before running! In my experience, I've found that those who are willing to drop $65K on a nice vehicle like that are also perfectly willing to drop an extra $7K on a blower! HAHA!

If he only has CAI and exhaust, go ahead and walk him....it shouldn't even be remotely close (unless you roast the tires through third gear).

[konigandy6]

My DD is an SS Trailblazer and I have raced the new 425 HP escalades at the track.....no contest. My TB ran 13.8 and the escalade was stuck in the upper 15's.

[98T/Aformula.]

Even if he has a blower its still a joke, a blower can only make a 17sec SUV so fast. I doubt the guy even knows what a blower is if he thinks he can beat a LS1 with a Escalade, guy sounds like a tool, why risk street racing and getting cought on a damn Escalade ? This is one of the gayest "soon to be kill" whatevers I have ever heard of in my life.........................:wtf:

[7camaro7]

ieatstangs, you an auto or m6?

[180ls1]

i raced one in my moms auto lt1 that was stock, the caddy had intake exhaust and a progremmer and i took him with ease.

[CJREX]

This is kinda like the recent thread about minivans challenging F-bodies off the line.

Most people have never ridden in a car that runs as hard as an LS1 powered car.

To them, their V6 minivan or V8 SUV feels like a veritable rocket. They probably honestly believe that they can run with a Camaro/Firebird since they can easily "Chirp the tires".

I used to have a Contour SVT for a DD and people riding with me constantly commented on extremely powerful/fast it felt. It was a low 15 sec, high 14 on a good day with a tailwind car. Yet to their perception it was fast.

So, your neighbor with the 6.0 V8 Escalade (15 sec vehicle) probably does think he has the goods. It is probably MUCH faster than whatever he had before, therefore ready to own the street! :zoom:

Stay next to him so he thinks he has a chance for a second or 2, then drop the hammer :tap:

Get ready for multiple excuses as to why he lost. :hahano:

[Ieatstangs]

its an a4

[7camaro7]

its an a4

you know how to use your stall... not that it'll be necessary?

[Ieatstangs]

No not really I need 2 get a better one I still have the stock converter

[7camaro7]

my buddy has a basically stock ta and stock converter and he '60s under 2.00 sec! You don't need a fancy one unless your racing professionally. As a matter of fact you don't need to use it to use it against this truck.

[ls1camino]

I'd watchout...I Procharged my '96 Suburban (350 Vortec) about 2 years ago, and I ran a 14.2 last summer.

450 HP + 5500 lbs = 12.22 lbs per HP

325HP + 3417 lbs = 10.51 lbs per HP

This is just a generalization, but it shows that just with a Procharger (bolt-on), a tune, and stock 3.73 Gearing, that trucks can be quick...don't underestimate them.

[7camaro7]

whatever you do don't take him lightly(not that you have anything to fear) just make sure you win. don't spin out... just lay into it and go, it'll be over quick.

[twozs]

damn it is pretty far. how about concord?i gotta ask ya , why are you here? your intrest in camaros or your envy of a car that can make hp without a blower? STAY GOLDEN PONYBOY!

[MikeSomething]

Just put it in "R" for Race...

[CJREX]

i gotta ask ya , why are you here? your intrest in camaros or your envy of a car that can make hp without a blower? STAY GOLDEN PONYBOY!

I was thinking the same thing.

A stock Termy will outrun a stock LS1. Well Duh!! :givesaf:

Why not go to http://www.z06vette.com/forums/ and call out a few stock, non-supercharged GM V8s over there?

Because it's apples and oranges.

We're not trolling on the Kia website harping about how we are waiting for an Optima to step up.

Some of the Termy guys on here are cool. Some troll.

He appears a troll.

Find someone who has taken an LS1 and put the $$$ in it that are in your Termy and then video that for us.

I hate "What if" racing as much as the next guy. (Oh yeah? Well if I put the nuclear reactor from the USS Nimitz in my S10 it would tow more than your SuperDuty.)

On the street, it's run what you brung and hope you brung enough

Why do you think Ford HAD to supercharge the 2003 Cobra?

Ask anyone with a "320 HP" 1999 Cobra.

FACT: The Cobra was supercharged because the LS1 powered F-body cleaned its clock in every acceleration performance category, and SVT manager John Coletti vowed he wouldn't let that happen after the 1999 debacle.

Rant over.

[JwMonE99]

Just curious for ponyboy and ieatstangs,
what mods do you guys have?
I have a feeling the cobra has this ...

[ponyboyx04]

i gotta ask ya , why are you here? your intrest in camaros or your envy of a car that can make hp without a blower? STAY GOLDEN PONYBOY!

Both. Not so much envy but i love the LS1,s and there top end power.

lol... well hope you feal better. i respect and like LS1's like all muscle cars. i was just playn with ieatstangs a bit due to his user name so calm down. and i have no problem calling out a stock 08 Vette. i never under estimate any car.
i do know why Ford started using the Eaton S/C. We have to keep up with you guys. always one step ahead...

[Ieatstangs]

I have 2 map it out we may have 2 find another spot I'll be sure 2 leave my ttops @ home so I won't hear the whine of that lil thing wit a k on it lmao

[ponyboyx04]

lol... well if it makes you feal better a 50 trim full bolt on srt4 walked me pretty bad last night. he was at 26#'s and well over 400

[Ieatstangs]

where did u guys race at?

[ponyboyx04]

did a couple quick runs on 99 near Modesto. from a 60 he killed me by 4, then we did my race from a 40 and i jumped him two cars then by third he caught up. by the top of third he was two cars. By far the fastest srt4 i have raced. he also has a 30# set up where he puts down 482/518!!!!!!!!!!!!! there are videos on svtperformance under kill stories "04 cobra v's mean srt4"
