You're coming home. You'll spend time with your girl. Win! Win! Two out of three is not bad

A little editing was called for.

After listening to the camaro, & watching him drive & excelerate, & reading how you're not sure of yourself/needing practice driving, my prediction(sorry)is, he'll beat you by 5/6 car lenghts.

sorry.....

With your own driving, or with Jamie driving, it was a difference of 7/10s. One car lenght =1/10, 7/10=7 car lenghts.
I was pretty close, no?

I have NOTHING for it on a road course. lol Thanks Andre.

V8Killer · 09-13-2011, 09:15 PM

LOL ya I guess it's a win but I really do miss my car very much. I can't wait to hear how it sounds in person. I think the 1st time I go to the track is gonna be bad anyway with the limited time of getting used to my car but the following week will hold better times.

DTHPROOF · 09-13-2011, 09:35 PM

You'll get there bud.

It's unfortunate that an NA 370 isn't really a 1/4 mile car... but people have managed pretty good times for us to be talking about a V6 vs. a V8 both cars with mods. Stock for stock the Z wins with any sort of decent driver though.. which to me is more impressive.

yeah the z is impressive but in the end there is no replacement for displacement... After I solved my traction issue with my stock 06 GTO the z wasnt much of a threat.

True story, Ryan has the vids but he needs to post them! I had to screw with ya buddy

I don't know about stock Z's being faster than stock LS1's. I know there are factory freaks from every brand but generally 6 speed ls1's put down 305-320rwhp bone stock. My last 2000 SS was 100% stock when I bought it with 70k miles and I put down 307/331. A set of headers (longtubes), cat-back, and intake and it put down 355/360 on 2 different dyno's a few months apart. The Z's are impressive, but stock for stock it's not what you think.

IDK...stock ls1 vs stock Z is pretty evenly match...when i had my 370z i would run a few of my friends stock ls1 at track days and it was almost identical outcomes, dig or roll...only problem is when the LS mods its game over h/c LS1 is nasty

based soley on numbers and not driver the LS1 has less hp stock than a Z 320 vs. 332 ... the torque is much higher with the V8 obviously.

The 1/4 specs are approximately 13.7... most people would don't drive all that great can muster a 13.7 with a Z and then we have the few with high 12 and low 13 second passes... you also have to factor in the weight of each with the Z being about 150-200 lbs lighter or so I guess?

The ls1 is rated 325 but usually puts that down to the tires. My friend's stock 02 ss went 12.6 @109 stock to the paper air filter. My SS went 12.9 @109 (2.1 60') and the op's 370 went 13.6 @105. I'm not dogging the VQ by any means (this is your site after all) I'm just speaking from my experience. Stay tuned guys; race is in 2 days and his 370 got tuned this morning.
