Guest Anonymous Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Basically a guy with a '91 Galant VR-4 AWD turbo (same drivetrains as a GSX but with 4-doors) makes a bet with some guys from 20Vturbo.com that he will not go over to LS1.com and talk the same smack over there about spanking LS1's. Anyway the guy posts at LS1.com and wants to race some LS1's. Starts slow, but gets better. I think this guy set them up.... http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=206662&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 And yes, it was a slow day at work today!!!!

Z-Gad Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Yep, sounds like he set'em up to me. There's a white Galant here in Orlando that is pretty quick too. I believe he ran 12.1 @ 117 last night with full interior, etc. I am unsure of his mods, etc, but it is a quick car and suprises a lot of people...

Guest Z-rific Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 That board has some graemlins we don't! Having both a '95 Talon TSi AWD and a 350 powered Z, I was torn here. I know how my Talon launches stock, and I don't know if I've ever been in a car that gets off the line so well (on street tires). Knowing this guy upgraded his turbo, injectors, added boost control, etc, I had a feeling he'd dust fairly stock LS1's. Who's the idiot at the end talking about AWD's not being good road racers? I seem to recall some grey Audi AWD's about 10 years ago mop up all the GT type racing (IMSA, etc) and the next year being outlawed. My AWD Talon is amazing in the corners. But it is, and always will be, stock. Daily driver. My toy is my Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZR8ED Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 I don't know who's worse? The guys for typing all that stuff.. or me for spending 3/4 of an hour reading every page while at work? Funny reading.. LS1 guys should not be so cocky.. most seemed good about it...They better becareful coming on this site talking how fast they are!.. they'd be in for some big surprises from our members.. Never underestimate the little guy.. Y'all know the new Mini ads right? "My money's on the little guy" I have been/will be the underdog, and it makes victory that much more satisfying.

Guest livewire23 Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 some of those LS1 people had no respect! Sounded cool.. but it was definately a setup, they had to see that one coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
