beat a 35th SS tonight....

[Vanride69]

on my way home from work, I saw a 35th Anniversary SS Camaro with HUGE banner sticker on the rear window saying SLP and some loud exhaust---suppose it is SLP?? LOL There was also a Mitsu 3000GT VR4 cruising near me and him but he exited with a wave before any racing commenced.

I finally got a chance to line up with the SS at around 55-60 and honked off 3. I jumped ahead maybe a half car length right away and pulled to maybe 2 cars by the time we shut down.

the second time we raced, thats right he wanted to "try" again, we went from the same rolling speed as above, 55-60 mph. I started honking it off and he told me to wait, then gave me the go ahead and I honked off 3 more. Same results as the first race but we were interrupted by traffic.

I pulled over to the right lane and tryed signaling for them, 2 young guys in the SS, to follow me down the exit so I could talk to them. Unfortunately, they thought I was just waving bye, so they gave me a friendly wave back and continued on. I waved back and took my exit, actually the exit 3 passed my exit. Turned around and went home with a smile. :thumbsup:

thanks for the congrats guys!!
It isnt as big of a kill as the C-5 Vette or the 351 Mach 1 that I beat, but I count it among my best kills to date. I cant wait till I become rich and can spend even more "go-fast" money on my car. LOL!!

the lt4 isn't exactly a weak engine. alot of people compare it to the ls1 top end with lt1 low end..

who said anything about a LT4?? I am talking about a 35th anniversary LS1 Camaro SS and I drive a Mustang with a 302. No mention of LT4 anywhere??:shrug:

just curious what you are talking about.

Thanks again for all the congrats, but I got my arse handed to me today by a Keith Craft SS Camaro. Just goes to show, there is always a faster car. He was spraying though I think, or he was just running really rich. You could actually SEE the unburnt A/F mixture.....LOL!!

My car gives a puff when I initially hit it NA.. It does run a little rich, but leans out afterwards..

Another slaughter by vanride! Good kill!

What are your mods, I assume you have a nice HCI set-up to beat a LS1 from a rolling start.

 

[NBMss346]

An LX is lighter, and it DOES make a difference. It was probably an LS1 with just exhaust, but I don't know for a fact, and I don't know what you have done to your car. A win is a win! Good kill!

VanRide69, Those Fox 5.0's are like boxes of chocolates.... you know the rest. I know over the years with mu run ins that you never know. My favorite was beating a very nice 91 GT with heads intake and exhaust. His car was show quality and I was actually suprised he went for a race. I expected to lose seeing as the car was just beautiful and I figured the guy built it like he maintained it, top notch. Well it wasn't the case I won rahter easily.

However it all come back when I ran into a rusty mid 80's 5.0 (recessed headlights) This car had lived a hard life and it showed but he drove it hard and it pulled me a few times on the top end. I doubt it was blown but it made big power on the top. Coulda been spray.

Ya just never know... guess that goes for LS1's too.

:beer: Nice kill!

 

[351MachOne]

good kill -- what have you done to that 302?

 

[TwoToneFreak]

Good Kill Van.!! Keep making us 5.0 guys proud. I love the look on people's faces when you pull on them, especially the camaro or trans am owners. They don't expect mine to run with them b/c most think it is a 4.6 GT. As for those LS1s, they have become like 5.0s you never know what you are gonna get, might be stock, might also be a H/C/I car with a lot of spray! Same goes for the LT1's also. Anyway good kill!
