Here is my baby
Runs high 11's
(and then I get tossed off track for no cage, firesuit, gloves, shoes, fire extinguisher ect)
all NA no NITROUS
and best part, she runs on stock 10 bolt with 2.73's

powerqrudy 04-17-2002 09:52 AM

Great ride..is that a solid lifter cam in that???? those are beautiful cars.

SR-24 04-17-2002 09:56 AM

I call!
 
Jayl13, Please explain how you run high 11's without nitrous or a blower and 2.73 gears. I've got a '68 Camaro with a little over 400hp and 3.70 gears and run mid 12's.

Jayl13 04-17-2002 10:25 AM

Little thing called torque converter
Also car has a cam
TQ converter is a 3750 stall and has a stall torque ratio of 2.75 so it multiplies out the ass
Drag radials, intake lid and K&N, ported and polished MAF, Torque converter, Headers, Borla catback, Removeable cats and replace with straight race pipes, Cam,
The engine is the LS1 and puts out a rated 320 HP (underated as per usual GM)
Last time I dyno'ed it i put 372 to the street at the rear wheels
Tq was 420
The LS1 is an all aluminum block and aluminum heads
Basically a power house
It is amazing what some of these engine builders are doing with these engines lately
Lingenfelter can pull about 600+ hp out of them by opening them up to 427 cubes and putting turbos on it
I have been told that a torque converter is considered cheating now cause it creates such a massive difference

For those of you that done believe me
take a gander over at www.ls1.com
Read some of the results of the mods done to these cars
Hell some of the stock 6 speeds with the 342's are pulling 12.8's bone stock

Car is truly a sick automobile
if you drove one, you would not ever question the speed and potential they have

OK, Jayl13...

WTF is this thing on LS1.com???
(not my car)

Sydwayz 04-17-2002 10:37 AM

OK, I figured out it is some type of overseas GM vehicle. They have a coupe model too on the site.

Jayl13 04-17-2002 10:38 AM

Damn dude I dont know
Funny as hell looking
Is that a holden?
(Holden is the Austrailian GM subdivision subsidiary)

HAHAHAHA never saw that one before but hey
GM is going down down down lately
Not offering Antilock brakes or suplimental air bags as standard equipment anymore cause of the cost!!!!!
but yet a loaded cavalier will run you upper 20's to possibly 30's for the high end model

They discontinued the Camaro and firebird lines to make more SUV 's in that plant in Canada for sales dropped off for these cars.

Sad but only performance car you can get from GM for now anyway is the vette

Going to be a sad day when the last camaro/firechicken rolls out of there and they are done at the end of this summer

Poor decision in my opinion but hey im just a consumer right?

We are always wrong
but yet that ugly ass armadillo aztek thing is getting redone and face lift

Go figure...........................

I'll be gosh-damn if GM ain't building some cool and wierd 'stuff' in Australia. They still have a 5.7L RWD Caprice!!!!

Jayl13 04-17-2002 10:55 AM

Mad Max the movie with Mel Gibson,
His black car with the blower (yeah clutch driven sure sure) was a holden
(dont know their models)

They do have a sedan with a LS1 in it and a kick ass engine cover on it
Too bad GM did not pay much attention to details under the hood of the F body as they do on the vette

The vette, everything is tucked away nice and neat and clean, sharp looking and impressive
Fbodies looks like they threw up under the hood and slammed it shut and said OKAY DONE

but I still LOVE my car and im going to the grave in it
Although i would love a C5
but for now, im going to concentrate on getting the baja all spiffied up and install all this performance stuff I bought from Jegs and Greenwood chevrolet
WOOHOO
Love horsepower

HP-J 04-17-2002 05:11 PM

Thanks for the positive comments, I really enjoy the car. Not quite as fun as boating, but a close 2nd.

R Addiction 04-17-2002 07:08 PM

Here is my old car:( Sold it after 18 years too buy our boat. I'll find a better picture.

jbrauer 04-17-2002 07:54 PM

Addiction - Sounds familiar. I feel for ya'

Sometimes we have to move out an old toy to get a new one in the toybox! After years of sweat and toil I sold my '70 Stage 1 to get my cat. Hard to do, but I'm happy I did it.
