*VIDEO* 93TT vs LS1 Trans Am
 

This is one of a few runs I did with a very nice 2000 LS1 Trans Am
The TA sounded great with in/exh.
This one was from a stop to about 118mph. we did another to about 130mph where I pulled even more distance. We did two short pulls from a roll, he thought he would do better that way because of the traction issue, but the results were the same :)
Sorry the video isn't great, it was my first try with the software and I was in a rush.
Me; 310whp Orig stock eng/turbo with most of the bolt-ons at 13psi

That video is clearly doctored. There is no way the other guy was trying.

Why not? I've raced t/a's in the past and the outcome was generally the same.

Well if you dont think a rx7 can hand a modded 2001 ws6 heres me about a year ago. http://media.putfile.com/NESpeed-RX7-vs-Modded-WS6 He had a tuned ECU, long tubes, not cats, loud mouth, and a air lid.

WTF?!!
If I tell the story someone will raise the "BS" flag and ask to see a video... so I offer a video and you say its "doctored"?? what ever, keep pretending If you are happy that way. Or... open your eyes, give up your misconceptions and see reality.
This video is consistent with all my other kills and videos :)

PS Why would you post this at 9:05pm then 10mins later PM me to say you couldn't get the Video to play? I don't get it.

It was a joke. I just figured I'd say it before all the actual T/A owners chimed in. :icon16:

I believe I was one of the people defending this race as being true in the other thread...

bastien always has shit to say about everything. dont hate cuz them pos domestics get rocked by 1.3l's

Dude give it up. Nothin is doctored. Just face facts that you can't get as much power per cubic inch out of an LS1 as you can out of a Rotary

The only reason I posted is because of this "It was a joke. I just figured I'd say it before all the actual T/A owners chimed in. "

well, why won't you race me or adam then? are you afraid to lose to an ls1?

haha :)

Joke went too far. Oops.

I just saw the vid and I must say that jonny was pulling pretty hard. What speed did the vid start at and where did it end? At first it seemed like he was keeping up, but at the end the gap just kept growing. It didn't look like he let off though since he would have dropped off faster than that had he done that.

It's true that you can't get as much power per cubic inch, but LS1's start with A LOT more cubic inches. The power potential is greater.

At first it was close, we were parked next to eachother! jk:)It started from a complete stop, my friend was just slow on the button. the vid starts while Im still in first gear 5mph? I let off this time at 118mph (ish) he wanted to go to like 140 but i didnt see the point, it wasn't really close.

kid we got more fucking torque than you have hp, you better take your cute mr. pib 1.3liter to the track get your 2.7sec 60ft w/ a 14.5 1/4 and come back to talk shit after reality hits you. I might have a ls1 engine to sell to you once the shock wears off, thats if you say please.

p.s. btw dont take it out on us because they actually put TTs on your car and its only decently fast ( im trying to choose my words wisely so i dont alienate the non chump rx7 owners ). You get called out to the track and yet you still sit here behind your monitor running that mouth, next time you post it better be to say, "ok bastien/adam ill meet you at the track and settle this." mr. 12.4 1/4mile...what do you have to worry about?

all i have to say on this matter anymore, peace.

Wow

see manny, reality just hit him

^^
No, Wow as in what a stupid statement.

I really don't see anyone saying"do I put big ugly ram air scoops on my car and it's still only moderatly fast" to you. You know why? BECAUSE THAT IS THE STOCK ENGINE DESIGN!!!!!! A lot of Marines I work with buy F body cars. Do you know why? Because they are,
A) a dime a dozen
B) cheap as dog shit (obviously didnt spend the money in design because it looks like a asshole) because they hold zero value.

I will be honest with you, they can be fast, but I HAVE raced 2 of them and took them both. One from a 20mph roll and one from a interstate roll.(55) I always thought the car had a lot of potential, but so does every FD so stop being a fucking baby about this.

thanks,

dear josh, take your shit to the track and bring us back the slip and scan it. all that needs to be said bye. here is your first run 1/4mill 14.9-15.2. your second run 14.5 and 3rd 14.0. prove me wrong buddy and this goes to all of you rx7 owners who think you are badass and completely unreasonable.

ummmmm what was that bla bla bla i'm a fucking tool bag!!!!

I complemented your fucking shit ass car by saying they are fast and do have amazing potential and your going to come back at me like a fucking punk. Mind you that I see f-bodys every wed night at the local track and some are extremely fast, but not all. I was trying to calm things down and your going to be a bitch about it. Your the one that started this shit by saying that a fd couldn't beat a SS in a race. All montego did was tell a story and you got your little pussy full of sand. Stop being a bitch. You have a FAST car. Many FD's are very fast also.

so you see these cars at the local track all the time on wed? where is your slip? keep running the mouth.

oh btw if your dumb redneck ass knew how to read you would have also seen that it was not us crying about him beating a SS but by how much he beat him, dipshit. learn to fucking read and i also admitted that there are plenty of FDs on this site that could beat my car but like you and the other idiots posting you just say shit without actually taking time to grasp the full picture. Its not US that turned this into a huge flame fest but YOU just because we own LS1s. we try and bring a little common sense to this subject and you get all worked up cuz you see a SS and a Ws6 in our sig.

The hilarity ensues.

I said I see them all the time. Not run them all the time. I go out to NPR about one wed a month. They do have some mamoth powered F-bodys out there was all I was saying. They also have some that are not fast. If you read was I said and stop being a cunt you would understand.

I'm pretty sure he understood what you said, but he is wondering why you never run if you do, in fact, go to the track all the time.
