Weight reduction my ass, for ever 100 lbs youll get a tenth off. youll need to lose about 500 lbs to run my granny shifting times. Do what you want with your car, its still slow, ugly, slow, POS, slow, garbage.

Its not always how much weight you take off.. its where you take it off that makes the difference. If you think full suspension.. gears.. weight reduction with some cooler weather will only net me .2 than that goes to show you how ignorant you are. Let me do some math for you and see what you think.

I ran my 12.64 on a 1.86 60ft.

with suspension I should pull a 1.6 atleast now if the track is preped well and its not to cold out.

1.86-1.60 = .26 difference.

Rule of thumb is for every .1 out the hole you can -.15 at the end.

2.6 x .15 = .39 tenths

.39 - 12.64 = 12.25 1/4.

Thats not including the weight reduction gain plus gears and the fact that it was a humid night when i ran the 12.64.

That doesent even begin to include whats going on the car here soon.

I say bring it now.. would be your only chance of being close.

Furthermore a Formula 1 or Indy car is more comparable (in the same price bracket and level of performance) as a top fueler regardless of cylinders on the top fuel car. Comparing a top fuel car to ANY showroom car is completely pointless because that showroom car and the top fueler share NOTHING. This is why you are retarded. Thanks for playing try again.
Can you please tell me where in my post did I say I was comparing a top fuel car to "showroom car". I was just stating the fact that V8s kick ass. But since it seems you want to compare we can. Those facts I posted can also be related to top fuel funny car, which use a modified body of a production car. Top fuel uses a HEMI motor....dodge trucks come with HEMI motors. Futhermore the two cars being compared(all motor camaro and Integra) are not "showroom cars", because if it is modified it is no longer showroom or factory stock. And I wasnt being an ass I guess you took it wrong. Have a good day

If you spend 5K on a LS1 camaro in mods, you would be very competitive with stock vette's and z06's. Yes the vette weights less and everything, but this is just my opinion. I do like vette's since i'm a chevy guy, but people who think vette's are all mighty and better than the camaro and bird's just make me laugh, b/c to me they are not all that different, except for the $$$
Oh forget about how a corvette handles or the trac control systems or that we can pull over a 1.0g, and our cars have never dynoed at 295 are you stupid. A z06 will put down 365-375 rwhp any damn day of the week at any altitude. So dont give me that shit, that a camaro can compare in any way. Our suspension, tires, rims, seats, dash, engine sensors, heads up display, LS6 motor, brakes are all better in every single way then a camaro. There is no way to compare the two cars, but what am i talking about you drive a Geo.

It is ignorance to think that there are not plenty of TA's/Z28's, etc. that will eat a vette for lunch on a dragstrip.
goes both ways

There is a member on the board name itzgman, who has a 50th Anniversary vette, that dynoed 295rwhp, that's where I got that # from. By the way, I may drive a Geo Prism everyday but I know a thing or two about Ls1's. It's also a good thing that GM underrated the LS1's in the Camaro's and Birds, otherwise you vette guys woundnt be able to sleep at night!
