Took an SS Camaro...

[lt1z28]

awesome, you did the impossible, being that a 2005 z06 doesnt exist,

Anyways and lt1 isnt as great an engine as the ls1, but they aint slow. I have 2 93 z28s,

when i first got my second i raced a guy with a s14, sr powered with a front mount intercooler, a top mount set up and an upgraded turbo. among other boltons including a boost controller. I took him from a dead stop (badly) until about 80ish. Beat him once on the interstate, he beat me twice on the interstate, and he beat me by 1 car from a 25 to 80 roll, and my lt1 camaro was at full weight, and is an automatic with 140,000 miles. So he got the jump on the rolls too.

My best friend also has a 240, s13, no options, sr powered, frontmount, apexi filter, 3 inch exhaust, lightened flywheel, and suspension, and i outweigh him by 100 pounds. I can take him down from any roll weve went from. We have literally raced probably 15 times if not more, he's never won. But he is running 7psi.

that is about cor

A freak? Please. I just spent all Saturday(two weeks ago that is) at an all C5 and C6 Corvette meet up in Oxnard at A & A Corvettes and consistently they are doing 310rwhp. Hell this one kid I know with an LT-1 in his 86' RX7 is putting out 283 rwhp with the stock engine and only exhaust done. That's an LT1.

And where the F-body gets the Vette with the rear ends, is easily made up at the end of the 1/4 mile and beyond.

There's no way a stock C5 is only putting out 285-290 to the wheels when an LT1 from an older F-body can do that.

that is right, the vettes usually do put down less than 290 at the wheel believe it or not, and f bodys are usually over 290. Lt1 6 speeds have been know to lay about 260 stock, i could see 280 with an exhaust. Dont believe stock horspower ratings, an ls1 f body is rated 305-310 at the motor and are pushing around 350. The lt1s arent 275-285 either. More around 300.

Pretty interesting stuff though.

LT1Z28, you seem to know your Domestics. Im curious how much power it takes to get a Camaro or Firehawk to run 120+mph trap speeds? I remember a few years ago, i raced a Blown LS1 Firehawk at the track and he ran a 11.924 @ 126mph with 2.23 60ft. It was pretty damn fast. Just curious how much power he was pushing.

[IDriveFords]

Since I'm a huge domestic buff and I've driven a few ls and lt1's myself I heres some info: The LT1's are the older version of the LS1 and are not nearly as powerful, however, they are still beefy. A stock LT1 has been known to put about 250-260hp to the wheels and on models like the SS Camero and the WS6 transam they put down upwards of 280. I believe the LT1 was discontinued in 1997 and replaced in 1998 by the LS1. The LS1 was extremely underrated by GM and has been known to push about 330hp to the wheels on stock Z28's and TransAms and a little bit more on the SS and WS6's. Theres people out there (good drivers) that have pulled off high 12's in the stock SS's and WS6's. Otherwise the Z28's and TransAms are known to run low to mid 13's stock. Considering these cars are significantly heavier than the s-chasis it wouldn't take much for a decently built SR to take on a stock LT1 and even run along with a stock LS1 the only problem with this is that very few of these cars are stock and they respond amazingly well to mods. The LS1 is probably the most respectable push rod motor ever built and the fact that its power potential with stock internals can push upwards of 360ish wheel horsepower is crazy not to mention it can handle high shots of NOS and a supercharger running 8lb pulleys. I actually had a neighbor with a 2002 WS6 with upgraded cams and a few other goodies running something like 400whp and another friend of mine with a 2001 TransAm running a 200 shot on stock internals. Both these cars ran low-mid 11's. I'd say at about 12lbs of boost the SR should be able to take a stock LT1 with ease and at about 14lbs depending on mods it should be able to match a stock LS1. Taking on modded LT1s/LS1s is a whole other animal though. Thats just my 2 cents.

[Mistaken]

Since the topic has been resurected. Time to throw in my 2 cents since im both a lt1 camaro driver and a sr swap 240. My lt1 ran, with a slp intake and slp catback, a very consistent 14.3. Nothing to brag home about. Race weight on my car is still like 3400 lbs. Im up to around 300rwhp right now with my new setup, and i still doubt it would break 13.5.

Don't rip on domestics for what they are. Part of the reason i bought my 240 is because i got tired of the domestic guys ripping on imports, no matter how fast they were, or how tastefully done they are. You say you guys are better then the domestic guys, so don't stoop to their level and start making fun of them. Accept what people like, and the ignorant ones are all the easier to make money off of.

[DrifterProdigy85]

Im a domestic guy at heart too. Got a 240 cause it was cheap and RWD. Got mine just before the big JDM Drift fad happened. If i didnt have the 240, id probably have something LS1 or 5.0 Mustang. Id love to Turbo or Twin Turbo a V8. So much streetable power on pump gas to be had.
