I, David Z28's (AKA DAM LS1), hereby proclaim that my '98 Z28 IS NOT STOCK
I respect your right to believe what you want. You can believe that OJ was not guilty, Saddam was really a nice guy inside, and that a stock Lightning is faster than a stock LS1. But I just can't deny the evidence. For further reference please visit this site:

But in all honesty, LS1s can be made to go fast a lot easier than Lightnings can. Of course, they weigh less and have a lot better aerodynamics. It's quite common to see 11s out of an LS1 with lid, cam, TC, chip, etc.
But again, why argue over money? Irrelevant argument if you're going to just race and I stick to the old addage of "run what ya brung."

But, there are plenty of used Z28s with low mileage available. Hope you don't mind getting drug by your sister.
In all seriousness, if she wants a fast new vehicle she could buy a Cobra, Corvette, or GTO.
cyntaxx, can you explain the "run whatcha brung" concept to some of the folks in the audience. For some reason, a bunch of people seem to believe it's not fair to unless you disclose all of your mods, ETs, and date of birth thus making the outcome of the race known before the start.

You're correct DAM_LS1. No need to disclose anything. However, no real need to lie about your mods either (not saying that you are).
The "run what ya brung" motto also includes NOT putting a price tag behind every mod you have in order to justify why one vehicle is better than the next because if that were the case, no one would be putting around in Ferrari's and Lambos or Renntech Benzes....everyone would be driving 5.0s, LS1s, LT1s, or riding crotch rockets...

I really don't see what the big deal is about disclosure BEFORE a race. I'm not mad at Nate for tying to sneak on a pulley.
But, I'm with ya on the bang for the buck arguement. All that matters is who is at the finish line first. I merely posted a rebuttal. We'd all be driving 5.0s if we only cared about HP per $.
Oh, and here's a thread on your forum about the "fictious" race I had with a 03 Cobra. The video is gone but notice the name of the video link.

BTW, the guys in the thread are also wrong about my mods. Built motor and NOS, lol.

Yeah, Don't lie! Don't be freaking arguing about how a 300 rwhp 280 rwtq can beat a lightning, or for that matter a stock vette. And telling people "I'm am stock, no wait, i have a cam, no ermmm, i have a full built motor and juice." Yeah run what ya brung, but don't be sitting there lieing about what you have done with your car.

Also, you don't own a stock Lightning. Please explain your logic.

I thought we squashed this last week, but now you're getting all froggy again. Did you run out of Ritalin?
