    its simple, the stalled ls1 cant lose.

    Wanna race?


    I love my 6-speed.
    But if I raced any more than I do...I would get a nice built auto.

    The debate is old. Drive what you want to drive.
    If you want to get better ET's....go auto. If you want to row your own boat...get the M6.

    I guess... but then again putting a stall in a car and gears in another w/ a driver who cant drive is kinda cheap. Its kinda cheating because the stall does all the work for you. Maybe im wrong but the statement "a stalled auto cant lose" is false

    Same flywheel power for both cars....the stalled auto will win 99% of the time if the suspension/tires are basicly the same.
    At the track.

    Roll race is different.

    on avarage i can do "60 foot times in the upper 1.60s. thats where i bury M6s, and if they have more alot power, maybe they will catch up.

    the higher the speed, the more the M6 has going for it.

    Ok just because you beat a few doesnt mean a stalled a4 is unbeatable. Im sure there are a few guys on this site with 4.10s thatll destroy you from a dig

    fyi, 410s will not level the playing feild when it comes to a stall.
    an ls1 with 4.10s will lose about .4 tenths of e.t at best.
    an ls1 with a small stall like mine (3000 rpm) will lose .6 tenths of e.t.
    there are stalls that will and have drop 1 second of e.t.

    then if a stall is cheating, so is any other mod you do.

    There is no such thing as cheating to get a better ET.

    Some people just mod differently.
