Hey guys,
This section looks a little bare, so I figured I'd start the ball rolling :)
My buddy Stan sold his Impala and decided to get an F-Body. He got himself a 2000 Camaro SS with the LS1 motor, to which he did some minor mods like cold air intake, catback exhaust, aftermarket MAF, Hypertech and free mods. He was bound and determined that he would beat me on the street.
Since I knew that this friendly rivalvry would be heating up, I decided to change cams to a Comp Xtreme Energy. My LT1 block is stock except for porting the stock iron heads and adding the cam. Of course I have all the bolt ons too.
We met up and discovered that neither one could take off from a dead stop without wiping out the tires (both of us on BFG Drag Radials). We then decided to go from a 20 roll. We counted down 3,2,1 and we were off.
Thanks to my big stall converter, I almost immediately pulled a car length and could see him in the mirror. Since my tranny has a manual valve body, I have to shift each gear manually, so as I hit 2nd, I jumped another 1/2 car ahead.
I could see him getting a bit worried, but right about then he started to pull a bit and he was getting larger in the mirror. Time for 3rd, and as I banged the gearshift, I jumped again and started pulling. By 120mph, he was 2 car length behing me and just starting to pull a bit again, but we shut off then.
We did that 4 more times with similar results. On the last run he jumped me at the start, so I decided to hit the 1st stage button just for grins, and as I flew by him, I hit the 2nd stage and I was GONE :D
This is my story and I'm sticking to it.......
