Today I raced a Firebird Transam LS1. I have a TVT 265 kit on my limited plus a sprint booster and a magnaflow exhaust. I put the Limited in 1st and floored it, letting the auto stick do the shifting.
It was pretty much nose to nose until I hit 65mph and the larger injectors kicked in. Then I was only about 1ft ahead of him at 100mph. It was all I could do to go nose to nose with this guy and my car isn't stock. Of course the Firebird is a V8 and has more HP. Does anyone know how much HP an LS1 has. If anyone is looking for a car with impressive performance and impressive 1/4 times the SRT6 is the way to go, period. Not a limited.
I did this on a very long,safe stretch of road with no traffic. Kids don't try this at home.
depending on year:
LS1 Trans Am = 305-310 hp
LS1 Trans Am w/ Ram Air = 320-345 for rare SLP models
