My car's a freak of nature!

[79CamaroDiva]

I went down to atco tonight with the intentions on breaking into the 12s in a bone stock car. Unfortunately, technically that didnt happen.. I made a retarted number of runs tonight (11 total on a clutch that has smelled better) and I was stuck in the 13.3x range most of the early night, which isn't bad, but not what I was hoping for. Mike and Tim strapped on mike's SLP lid and the following two runs just lit up the tires cause the dew came in. I waited a while.. noticed that cars looked like they were hooking up again, and came back and ran a 13.10, 12.92, 12.94 and then..... a 12.805 @ 109.23!!!

So now what? I have a car that I wanted to do absolutely no modifications to that just ran what, like 4 tenths better than it should have?? I mean, its stock to the paper filter, with a flowmaster muffler (not cat back.. just muffler), and currently mike's SLP lid. So now im thinking, imagine what its gonna be like when i have a clutch that actually works.. maybe a short throw... a tune... some tires other than KDWS..

ugh. maybe ill go back and start throwing money at my 79 again. If i throw the equivalent of my car payment at it every month, maybe it'll be a 12 second car too :lol:

[BobonaStick]

ohhh you make it seem like that it's a problem...

[IROCZBeast]

wow congrats thats awesome, never knew that was possible in a stock ls1.

bet you made a lot of bolt on ls1 guys feel like crap that are still stuck in the 13's :lol:

[JL8Jeff]

Do the free airbox mod and a ported TB and you might be at 12.5 or better. And that Flowmaster muffler is probably hurting more than helping. LS1's are pretty easy to do some basic mods with and see results. It's too late for you now! :mrgreen: Nice runs.

[alamantia]

160 stat, 4.10's and a PCM tune

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

My 01 ran almost identical w/ a lid and loudmouth.Those times are actually pretty common for 6spd 01-02's w/ a good driver. Good runs

[DadsZ28]

Congrats, sorry I didn't get down there to see it. I was getting ready to come down and found a screw in one of my drag radials:evil: Maybe I'll catch you guys if ya come down again if not then next year and I still have to try and make a trip up to Island next season also, that would be cool running up there.

[AliWantsNss]

Nice runs, I forget what the fastest stock M6 LS1 f-body was, but great passes for sure. You should just buy mine.

I believe it was a 98 6spd formula that went 12.7@109 stock

any idea where i can find this out? i'm pretty curious.. did a quick search on ls1tech and didnt see anything.. i want to see exactly what they're talking "stock" is.. like, are tehy talking factory stock, full weight, jack and spare in back, or do they say stock but mean DR's, seats out, no AC, etc etc etc..

[ar0ck]

Wow great times! Glad you got what you set out after.

[alamantia]

I remember reading this artical a few years ago with some base times and progression thru mods, pretty interesting:

Shoot... I remember reading it years ago when the LS1 first came out on LS1.com when that was still "the" website.

[Demonicbird00]

congrats!!!

its not uncommon for the 01-02s to go 12s stock

btw if its a newer paper filter, itll flow more cfm then a k&n and such.... i only run paper filters now

congrats again!!

yup...don't buy into that cloth filter crap...they work better than a paper filter for the first 50 miles after being cleaned and then go quickly downhill after that

[79CamaroDiva]

lol, you had to get the video when the guy dumped a gallon of water in front of me huh? i wish you had gotten the last run, not just cause it was the 12.8 but because you woulda been able to hear my shifts since i was the last car down the track.. they feel fast to me, but i dunno what they sound like outside the car

[NJSPEEDER]

no video of my run in the truck :( lol

[bad64chevelle]

I think I thought what you didnt think I thought to say, if you know what I'm saying.

[qwikz28]

nice job melissa, its amazing what our cars can do with a good driver right? you must have had a hell of a launch too, i ran the same trap with a 13.2 so you must have had a 2.0 short time too. :)

[bad64chevelle]

She went 1.87 I believe

[The Hammer]

i think she went a 1.86
if i remember correctly

i went a 1.87:lol:

justin by default has to let tim run the truck again since he didnt take a video of him

[AliWantsNss]

I think that MMM cars are the best cars out there, and I present Melissas car in stock trim, and mine when it was a bolt on stock internal list as proof LOL.

[foff667]

Same here, until I got later into the thread...

[GP99GT]

you need lessons from the greats...j0n, squirrel, and I

:lol:

edit: but please get a new shifter and a stiffer clutch in that thing because...well i hate it basically

i think that the general concensus is that my shifts don't actually have long pauses, i was just mis-interpreting steve's simulation. if they had long pauses i don't think the car would have run what it did.

shifter might be coming, clutch will get here when its necessary... and it doesnt matter if you hate it ;)

[GP99GT]

just get a pro 5.0 and i might be able to deal with it, even if it is a purple car

how about you get me one for christmas and ill let you be the first to try it out.. :D

[GP99GT]

okay give me the money and ill get it for you

[Mike]

**** its only 4 bolts, next time we go leave your console out melissa and we will share a shifter

[GP99GT]

i agree shifters are so easy to swap out...try an aftermarket one you wont want to go back to stock

[qwikz28]

:wavey: bye bye shift forks

[GP99GT]

shift forks will be fine as long as you use the clutch and adjust the shifter throw properly...and dont bang the gates instead of the gears
