12.8 was the best a STOCK down to the paper filter and tires a ls1 ever ran. Ive seen heads, cam m6 on drag radials run 11.2 at the track with my own two eyes, then drive home. Good STORY op lol im not calling you a liar but if the guy said he had heads and cam and im guessing you know at least a little about cars would'nt you have been able to tell if he was lieing when he started up his car?

A head+cam LS1 has an unmistakable sound, any video should be able to clarify this. Still waiting for response as to whether it was LT or LS

No way it was an LS1... I raced multiple LS1's since all my friends have one it seems.
lets see... bolt on's without longtubes or tune auto, 40 roll me stock I won
LS1 Auto T/A, cam, bolt ons, long tubes, stall, gm heads and gm intake but better than factory.... I got my ass handed to me by like 4 cars quickly and gave up (after tune he put out 408whp)
210,000 mile LS1 6 spd manual, cold air intake, catback, 4.10's, and nothing else... can keep up with my trifecta tuned cobalt from a roll ( i win , but its close)
and video comparison against a less powerful LS1 than O/P supposedly raced
YouTube - Cobalt SS/TC Vs. Z28 Camaro LS1

oh and btw my tuned SS beat a LS3 6 spd SS today, to give a comparison also
and this is what a cammed and factory head replacement LS1 t/a sounds like http://www.youtube.com/user/99Bandta#p/u/0/WE40Fnh6cFk

Well you have to remember the ls1 came out 13 years ago. There is a hell of a lot bigger sample size. Last time I checked, the fastest ls3 time was a 12.5x.

im sorry op im calling bs . i had a h/c gto which is heavier than a f-body . And it would walk the dog on a stock lnf . Head and cam ls1 anything can be 11s in the quarter (meaning f-body , gto , vette ) if you were tuned it could be beliveable but with learn down you mods mean nothing to very little .

Still waiting for video. If there is no video there is no proof and if there is no proof then how do we know you arnt just pissed off at the ls1 crowd for some reason haha and made this story up. So until I see proof im calling BS. O it also make me laugh at the comment you left in my thread.
Anyone with more then 4 clyd looses to a Balt and its all excuses from there LOL beat my buddy's procharged z28 and all I got was o I coulda launched harder.

I hope this is a joke,13-14 years later its still one of the fastest most potent motors around.
If LS1s were slow they wouldnt be tucked into everything from Porche 944's and RX7's to foxbodies and old muscle cars.

yeah its a pretty long smooth turn on the local highway by my house. 378. my brother wont take the turn at 100 in his T/A lol but RWD is a diff story. he just hit 30k miles, he doesnt want to wreck something thats pretty much still mint condition. doesnt even put 5k miles on in a year lol think hes planning on keeping it forever since its not DD. cobalt is definetly more predictable on how its going to react. his T/A in the other hand... scares the **** out of me lol

Stock suspension on f-bodies leaves a lot to be desired. The car is too soft and has too much body flex. However, its sad that most people build them for drag because properly setup they can actually be pretty damn good. I love turns and am willing to sacrifice a few tenths in order to corner.
