reddog15 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I went head to head against a V-8 Camaro today, not sure what spec though. My car bogged a little (auto trans) so he pulled ahead but couldn't pull on me 'til about 80. His car was working for all it was worth! I'm rather proud of the Gt for putting up a respectable fight.

zmarko Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 This was at the track, right? Not too bad for an auto LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolesun Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Maybe with reflashing, you can take him for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddog15 Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 It was the last gen camaro, not sure what year, not at the track. There is this dumb ass merge lane on the road home from work, and sometimes people put up a fight if you are the first ones at the light:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nsaglibene Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Yeah I(5EAT) took a camaro from like 50 to like 80ish and he backed off because the road started to bend a bit he slowed down a lot, he was working but he couldent pull me fortunately he backed off because he would have soon prolly.

RangerMan Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 If this was an LS1 Camaro I am very impressed. I wouldn't expect the LGT to win and I really wouldn't even expect the car to keep up. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Somehow I can't picture an LS1 having trouble with our car, although I have seen just as many stock LS1's trapping 100-101 as I have trapping 106-107. There seems to be a wide range of power for them from the factory. An LT1, especially auto, would make more sense in this situation. Depending on the year, some trapped 98-101 so that'd put them in line with our cars and make for an interesting race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrVvrroomm Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 My wife has an '02 LS1-powered Z28 convertible with 6 speed manual. I have an '05 GT wagon with auto. It's not even a race. My LGT is totally stock, her LS1 has lid, exhaust, reflash and puts down nearly 315 rwhp. The Z28 spends its winter in the garage. The GT spends its winter looking for snow. Two completely different cars for two completely different purposes. I've had no problem in her car with a few STi's, Evo's, and SRT-4's. I'm sure most of these were box stock. I know the potential of the above-mentioned cars. As well I know the potential of her LS1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nsaglibene Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I guess I went against an auto? Or maybee they guy didnt take the lgt seriously and didnt downshift or something, because we were crusing at the speed limit which was 45 I think so he was prolly in a higher gear.

reddog15 Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 I don't think it was an LS-1. It was pretty damn quick, had a loud exhaust and auto trans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrVvrroomm Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I was driving home last night and saw a black 4th generation Z28 in front of me. It's nearly impossible to tell if it's LT1 or LS1 powered from the rear view. I crept up in front and saw it was an LT1. I tried pimping him, but he wouldn't bite.

On a Trans Am, honeycomb tail lights mean its an LS1. With a Z28, however, best way to know is to view the front headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTURBO Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 lgt is no joke up until about 80mph when the gearing in the m5 eats a dick. That's usually when you'll get pulled on... I can hang with my ls1 buds up until about then. The lgt is certainly quick for what it is. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing. I used to build FMIC and more.

You must have some pretty quick cars- I don't go over 80 all that often, but I've had my XT up there a bit and the thing doesn't feel like it's eating a dick at all.

MDTURBO Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 well, you know the g-forces you feel in 1st and 2nd? when you hit third roughly they go away... that's what I meant by eating a dick... it still does pull but nothing like it did with the 1-2 gear ratios. Top end this lil car can hang pretty good. I've recently beaten a newer GT, and a older cobra (on .95 bar). Also I was driving down the road one evening and passed a friend in his evo. he gave me a car and the kick from a 40 roll and I gained a car at the end. That is why they call this car a sleeper. It is pretty fun. 2012 Forester XT. Stage 2+ Retired from Racing. I used to build FMIC and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
