camaro ss wants to race!!!!!

[player4lifeov]

SO i have a 1999 mustang gt vert right and there's this friend of mine who just got a 2003 camaro ss automatic and he wants to race!! You guys think i stand a chance? Its the slp edition camaro. I have off road x pipe, ud pulleys, diablo chip, cai,3.90 gears, and of course me the driver!! Need some insight or stories of gt's beating ss camaros

 

[streetstang03]

you're toast. you need nitrous or boost to win...

 

[Mike97gt]

there was no such thing as a 2003 camaro ss.. they ended production in 2002

but it won't matter he will waste you. the automatic ls-1 cars run mid to low 13's stock. your only chance of beating him is run froma stop up untill 60 or so.

 

[player4lifeov]

i've beating a couple of ls1's before, at least from a dig

Hope he can't launch it or the car can't put the power down.

Take it to an 1/8th mile track.

Drive like God.

... that's all I can think of.

thats the only way you will beat a LS-1 trust me I have raced a few of them stock and with simple bolt ons and I can drive. I ran a 13.903 stock out of my 2001 gt and I got handed my ass from a roll. It was close up untill 60 or so and then it's all over.

 

[Penguin]

Oh yeah, a kill story..

I did beat one at the 1/8th mile track. '00 Trans Am 6spd, all free mods, catback exhaust.

It was his first time there. His best was around a 9.6 @ 78 something. While my times went from 9.22-9.48. He needed some practice. That won't help you because he has the automatic.

I have a '01 stock, Auto, by the way.

On the street. dig up to 80mph in 2nd gear, I can take 'em sometimes. Once it shifts into 3rd it makes me sad. Like I let off the gas and they kept going.

Just run hard, you will most likely get beat, but I seen a auto 99 ls1 z28 run 14.1 at 100 the otehr day at the track as well as a 00 firebird auto ls1 run 14.2 at 102....so its hit or miss, I actually beat a auto ls1 that was mostly stock from a roll before I had the h pipe and plenum and t.b.....but I got smoked by a 6 speed one with long tubes and exhaust

 

[Warrior 102]

No way dude,I have seeing SS brake in 12s weary easy whit weary minor mods.......

 

[DocG]

Ok, I know the SS's are badass, but what exactly is the difference between those and the Z's.

But either way, even if you win, you won against the driver of that car....not the car....because, and get the flames ready....the Camaro SS is definetely the superior car!

 

[Flghtmstr1]

Automatic LS1's aren't unbeatable, even from a roll. I beat one in my automatic 2001 GT. I pulled an average of one car on it from 70-110. We raced four times. I seem to have a strong car, though, but if you can drive, you have a chance.

 

[so money]

dude you're going to lose unless you get the bottle or blown - that car is fast!

 

[Jackie Chan]

ive beaten quite a few at the track when i was on street tires in my old vert. if you can drive, you can beat him, but he will have a few mph on you top end and be coming back.

all things equal he should win almost everytime

 

[RedBullitt]

those autos be shiftin

 

[H What 4.6]

I know that all auto LS1's have a dead spot between 25-30mph where the car wont drop a gear if they stomp it and isnt high enough in the RPM's to produce the power it should... ive seen this several times with a few friends of mine and its true..... i would imagine an SS would be the same... so if you go from a 25-30 roll you should get a nice jump on him, even though he most likely will catch back up to you.. but it will be a more respectable way to lose!!!...... just dont tell him its his dead spot!!!!

That car should run 13.2-13.4 in stock form. I ran 13.4 bone stock in 80* heat w/ a crappy 2.1 60'. The SLP SS's have more mods(SLP Lid and catbacks) than the regular SS. The difference between the SS and Z28 is nothing but 6k in upgrades that dont make it faster.

As for their power.
The Autos are better from a dig but you can take them from a roll(compuiter has to downshift).
The M6 is better from a roll because their 1st and 2nd gears suck and they dont come alive until 3rd gear and you will know when they hit it. Usually around the 1/8th mile is when they take off.

I think he will beat you, but f*$k it, race him.
