You have no clue what you are talking about. My car ran 13.52 @ 104 bone stock. My g/f's car ran 13.36 @ 105 bone stock. The .09 difference in 60 ft (2.02 vs 2.11) should account for most of the .16 difference. I was there. We actually ran those times. Are you calling me a liar?
What kind of car do you drive? Is it an LS1 F-body? Seriously.
For the GM High Tech Performance article, the driver was Evan Smith and I believe the track was Englishtown. I have the issue at home.

 

I read the article. You can believe what you want, I just don't believe it. Motor Trend, Car and Driver and a few other unbiased very credible car magazines all tested the LS1 camaro and got times ranging from 13.7 to 13.9 seconds in the quarter, they used professional drivers and were tested in different locations and climates, they have no direct interest in GM. GM High Tech Performance Magazine tested the camaro in July of 99 and used they're "professional" driver who is also a photographer and editor for the mag. and got a time of 12.89 seconds in the quarter which is neck and neck with the corvette of that year. Lets see, a GM magazine test a GM car and got a great time.... hmmm sounds kinda strange that they're time was almost a second faster than any other test magazines. This was also coming off a very bad sales year for camaro. It would not be the first time that a marketing ploy was attempted to boost sales. Yes I have a camaro, a 1998 SS 6-speed. I don't believe in automatic sports cars. Automatics are somthing you ride to the grocery store or take a long trip to grandma's in, not something to take down the track. Everyone is entitled to they're own opinion though, believe what you want.

 

I ran 13.52 with a stock 2.73-geared automatic. My g/f ran 13.36 with a stock 2.73-geared automatic. Those are facts, not opinions. I ask again, are you calling me a liar? What did your 3.42-geared 6-speed run when stock?

 

hey, if you want ppl to stop gettin all over your *** put the f'in timeslips on the thread. lol

just a little suggestion....

 

Hello, just happened to stumble upon this thread. First post! What do you guys think my 97 lt1 with 6spd will run at the track? It is bone stock. I am not sure if it has a 3.42 rear gear, how do i check? Is it on the axle housing? Thanks for any replies!

 

LS1 running 12.90's stock. Yes I've seen Them do that too. My friend has a '99 Z28, runs 12.9-13.1 depending on the weather. With 8" slicks, it ran 12.50's. Only mods is a Power Programmer. Another friend has a '00 SS set up for NHRA stock eliminator and it runs 10's on unported heads ( NHRA rules ) Chassis work, 9.00x30 slicks, a whole lot of gear and a real loose converter ). I wouldn't bash anyone about Their times after seeing those numbers. These things are real monsters. And Good God, They made it 428 cubic inches, added Titanium Connecting Rods and Valves, Put on a Dry Sump Oiling System and it turns into a 505HP Z06. 11.40's at 125 mph bone stock.
