The SS's and WS6's ARE technically faster, more powerful cars. BUT.. you can still snake them if things go your way. On the X-way.. you can pretty much forget about it, UNLESS you come across one like I did. I smoked a brand new (at the time) red Z-28 on the tollroad. Well it turns out that the Chrome rims meant that he had the smaller tires and GM put a speed limiter on those cars at about 110. So I got him but it wasn't really fair.
My first trip to the dragstrip I made about 12 passes with a modded LT-1.. Not the new LS-1 but this guy had a full exhaust, tunable chips, airbox mods and a host of other goodies. I got him on about 66% of the runs.. He ALWAYS trapped about 5 mph higher at the end but he just couldn't hook to save his life. Except when his dad got in the car.. a light lanch on his part and he had the lead by the 60' and just kept on goin, driver was everything there.
I also came across a new, red Z-28 vert auto, and he wanted a go.. 3 stoplights.. less than 3 blocks between, I took him everytime. He was very surprised to say the least.
So.. what does this all mean? It means that The LS-1's ARE faster more powerful cars. But.. if you get into the situation and have a proper match with the drivers you can/will give him a run for his money and possibly give him a beating. Especially if this is just the ol' stoplight Grand Prix. Mustangs in general are known for being 1st and 2nd gear assassins.. IF DRIVEN PROPERLY.. We lose ground VERRRRY quickly soon after that.. 'bout halfway through 2nd in fact is where the GM twins will start to pull hard on you. The Cobra's are pretty much the same story. As long as it's a short run you have a very good chance.. but.. if it's a longer run and/or you have an experienced driver at the helm you should be looking forward to a spankin'.
But as long as you're havin' fun.. it doesn't matter. And remember.. we look better doing it. :smile:
