Thread: comp g vs transam

93-96ish tranam, LT1, exhaust, intake
comp g with wizair intake

got on an area of highway right before a turnpike that is typically dead and did a 35 mph roll. I started off in second with tapshift and switched over to drive once we got going. I kept up for a second or two then he started pulling on me pretty good. i was quite suprised... not because i got beat but because i didnt get buried. dont get me wrong.. he was clearly the winner but i hung in there for some time. He was a cool guy complemented me and said he didnt know gtps were as quick as that. i knew the outcome would be like that but i wanted to gauge myself a little bit... well back to pickin on mustangs... at least for another month or so till i sell my gt and get the mod bug going

You could take a LT1 easy!! Just like Grand Prix the Trans Am are pigs!! and the LT1 are horrible! lol

hmm i wouldnt call it a kill... on account i lost haha just figured i'd post it up thanks tho

Nice...Same thing happend to me with a dodge charger police package(knew the cop).....I thought he was going to thrash me....but I kept up with him...when we shut down at 55 mph (speed limit), i was at his back door.....I lost but was happy with the outcome....From what I read,the police package is alot heavier....0-60 in 6.0sec.

I think some of you need to rethink the "LT1's are junk" idea, my LT1 runs mid to low 13's with only bolt-ons (LT's,catback, CAI, ect.), in street trim. Don't get me wrong I love my GTP, and it is a quick car, but dollar to dollar for mods, it wouldn't hold a candle to an LT1.

I've seen many street driven/legal LT1 cars that put well over 700 rwhp down on the dyno. This is at far less cost than it would take to put an L67 or L32 car into the same hp territory.

Not hatin' on the Prix's, like I said I love mine, but the LT1 engine is definately not junk, and shouldn't be underestimated.

Now don't get me wrong, I am sure with enough money you could build a nasty one, but stock vs. stock the LT1 wins...take about a grand in bolt-ons and bye bye as boost is the replacement for displacement and especially if it was a top swapped car...look out



Hate to kill ya here Jess, but IMO all I have ever heard about icing the blower is bad news with these cars....and that 13.7 was a guess

Yep 13.7 was a guess best time was 8.7 in the 1/8. If you do the math to calculate it then it would be around the 13.6 to 13.7. But im not worried about it. LT1 are dogs lmao And I have spanked up on 2 LT1 ta's one on the road and one at the track. So thats why I say they are dogs! Cause if a stock v6 can beat them and they have some bolt ons then they arent "god" now again LS1 IMO is a "god" motor! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my camaro!!! But hey you guys smell that?

EDIT: Also most LT1 down this area are driven by younger kids who flogg they crap outta them! So I guess it depends on the history/upbringing the LT1 had.

i dunno about stock for stock... i wasnt too far off with my stock gtp vs his modded t/a... i kno it was only an exhaust and intake... but when you think about how much headers help our cars... they do wonders for v8's. i think if we were both stock i probably could have took him. but like jess said... its just an opinion

ill let you know how surprised i am in about a month or two... cant wait to buy them and get them babies on!

That's why the world's fastest street legal F-body uses an LT1 runnin' 8's right?

that means nothing... were talking about typical races... comparing stock for stock or even slightly modded has nothing to do with the worlds fastest anything...

I agree, I was defending against the LT1 is junk/dogs mentality. I'm not saying that they are the best motor out there, they certainly have their flaws, but they definately are not "dogs or junk" in any way, shape or form. Like I said I love the power and performance of my L32, but putting down an engine with out proper facts to back up the claims is just ignorance.
