Default Shep 1.8T vs. LT1 Pontiac Firebird with exhaust/headers

pulled 1/2 car length from 65~100 slightly uphill. I suppose I should have dropped down to third, but I went into fourth and hammered it. He kept up for the most part.

It was my cousin and his car, so there was no need for a bunch of repeat races. It's nice to be able to keep up with big V8s with just a 28R/stock IC/stock clutch.

Wow, RLY? I thought those things were fast? Granted, your car isn't slow...

The LT1s aren't nearly as fast as the LS1s.

Default well I think if he was just stock I would have pulled on him, but the headers and exhaust

are giving him a bit of extra power.
