even a non Z0 C5 would be sweet. I'm seriously considering picking one up in a few months.

Who picks a car based off 0-60 times?
Do you live your life a quarter mile at a time too?

i dont think its worth turboing the GP if u plan on buying another car soon anyway, id use that 5k for a downpayment on a WS6 or GTO
07-12-2013
This.
The only issue is the name plate...and people don't like talking price on them. They suck.

Doesn't have to be perfect. One in decent shape with a old 4 banger in it would work. Gonna pull most everything out from under the hood, likely to tub the rear end eventually, will need some welding for proper supports if done "the right way" so its going to be gutted and fixed back up from the ground up... and who cares about the rust stains, you're going to be kicking nice cars asses with a POS Ford, that's the real insult.

07-12-2013
wait.......youre on a limited budget and you want 11's? out of an LT1?
you sound like my 16 year old cousin. 4s 0-60 most likely wont happen.
well if you ask. really good ported heads+big cam setup and some spray will get you there.
you can supercharge it as well. you should count on the stock rear end breaking though.
07-12-2013
Haha Well there's not much of a difference between the two anyway. And I'm Okay with it make take a little while But if I slam on a supercharger and have support mods will it be there?
07-13-2013
Nitrous and be done with it.
07-13-2013
aww man dont do a LT1, LS ftw
07-13-2013
If someone is opting for a LT1 it's obvious money is a huge factor in finding a car. They aren't horrible and are doable as long as you are comfortable spending a little more cash in the long run engine wise. I personally love the LS1 body style because they look more aggressive, but do have a soft spot for a LT1 firehawk.
07-13-2013
if your solely concerned about those kinda numbers just get a decently stalled auto ls1 with bolt ons = 11sec car
other then that tho get something fun, manual, sounds good and who cares how the 0-60 isif you have a limited budget just have fun
07-13-2013
between an LT1 and an LS1? theres a huge difference. you will be able to get low 12's out of a fully bolt on LS1 car with slicks.
07-13-2013
Alright soo can you guys give me a estimate on where id be at with This set up? A trans am lt1 v8. Manual. Straight pipes. Air ran intake. Headers. Nitrous. Then a nice cam.?
07-13-2013
depends on how big of a shot you run etc.
lt1 stock heads cc306 dyno - YouTube
this guy has a list of mods to make him reach his power level.
07-13-2013
for another grand, you can find a nice audi TT, those things are lil rockets off the line, still get 30ish MPG highway.
07-14-2013
Your 1/4 time will ultimately depend on how good of a driver you are.
07-14-2013
How much nitrous? and what size cam are you interested in?
manual+nitrous = broken 10 bolt
07-14-2013
A+ thread. Would read again.
07-15-2013
Well there's one thing Ford got right. Ford 9" anyone.
