Dont get me wrong i love my crossfire, but i never bought to ever beat a LS1 powered anything.
Those cars are out of the box ready to run 13 flat 1/4 miles and low to 5 second flat 0-60 times. i know i did it.
You would be hard pressed to find a guy that couldn't beat an automatic X-fire.
only the srt-6 would beat it, but even then it would give it a run for its money seeing how i personally had the opportunity to hit 180MPH in a buddy's WS6.
I'm sure you had a blast, but those LS F-bodies are rediculous.
Thanks,

Respectively your welcome to believe what you want..aren't we all. Actually I know I could have done better if I did the shifting myself instead of flooring it and letting the Limited auto shift from first gear.
Remember my car is not stock. I have 268+ hp. Not a monster, but not a sleeper either.
Believe me the driver of the TransAm was going all out. With the TVT flash I can feel a power curve really hitting around 60-70 mph. Still plenty of power off the line also. You are right the LSF body is ridiculous. So was the look on his face when I passed him. As I said before..If you want to race and win buy an SRT6. If you want to street race once in a while and win once in a while, then modify your Limited. It will do the job. More fun then my 98 M3.
