I’m sure an 11.72 would put me into some nice company here on nyspeed. That was well over a year ago, my cars a little quicker now 😉 .How many LS1 cars on here run 11’s? Not **capable** of, I mean **HAVE ACTUALLY DONE IT**? Oh, and how many are N/A that have done it? Are there any on here? I can think of cougarspeed, and studderin, any more? You were .1-.2 **OFF OF MY 1/8th mile times**. You were a half second off of my 1/4 mile times (which is about 10 car lengths 😉 , or 2 buses, take your pick). Your car was all about the first 300-400 feet, then it fell flat on its face and everyone that you out-60 footed started gaining fast. I’ll give you this, your car got every ounce of its power down to the ground, no doubt. But your 110mph trap, showed the true power of your car. No way it was going to run an 11, even though you tried a zillion times. You always discount your car when you talk about it, like it’s some ordinary plain jane LS1 with a few bolt-ons, when actually it is a gutted 3000lb, well set up car, with a big stall. Then you talk about my car like it’s some hairy all out drag car or something. I put a “built auto” (as you put it) in it, because I broke 2 4L’s. It doesn’t make my car any faster, it is simply stronger. I put a spooled rear in it, because spools are stronger than posi’s and I rarely drive the car. How much ET reduction do you think a car will get with “slicks/skinnies”? Um…not much. Maybe .05, maybe .10 if it had some extremely heavy wheels on it. > > Then you always chime in on everyone’s LS1 thread when these guys all go to the track. None of these guys ,jt76, 9c1ny, psychopjv, etc… have there cars set up for the track like you did. Then you bust out your famous, my bolt-on car ran, blah, blah, blah, when they post up their 12 second slips. Put any one of their motors in your car and it would certainly hit that elusive 11 that you never did. Or put your motor into one of their M6 cars, and watch you struggle to hit a 12.99. > > You don’t even own the car anymore so why do you always feel the need to post up about it? :bigclap: thank you ---
