Someone asked earlier what is a ws6. A ws6 is a v8 trans-am with an optional suspension package. The motor is called ls1 and ls1's can be found in alot of today's american muscle i.e. v8 camaro's ,ss,trans am's,ws6's,c5 corvette's(the zo6 vette uses a smilar engine but, it is called the ls6 not the ls1) ect.ect. This particular ws6 ta had some decent hp gaining mod's but, the big thing was he had 4.10 ratio gear's. I don't know how many of you drag race but, gear's matter .......they matter alot in the acceraltion of a car. He had pretty low gear's which mean's his 0-100 is going to be alot faster but, his freeway top end will suffer. That night I lifted at around 115-120mph.
I have never had my car dyno'ed before....you guy's know alot about 951's what kind of #'s do you think I am making???
I always told people I had around 270-280rwhp because that's what k26#6 top out at. I thought this was the turbo on my car so I figured that was about right on the hp. Do you guy's think I am alot more than that??
I figured at 20psi I might be in the 310-320 range which is why I can pull on zo6's cause they get around 350 to the wheel's and since I am a few hundred pounds lighter I figured that was about right. The 3 zo6 vette's I have raced I only pulled a couple of car's so I must be right around that hp. Is a k26 #6 capable of making 310-320 at the wheel's?? If not I wonder what turbo is on my car and exactly how much hp it is making.
Anyway's thanks again for watching...and I will keep the video's coming since you guy's enjoy them

Your video's are pretty cool. its fun to watch the stang get spanked. I actually love those 5.0L but most stang owners are @$$. My HS buddy had a 85 Stang LX w/ 460ci Dual Quad, cam, heads and it was a cool car to stomp around in but 85 body is not my taste didnt like the slant nose andn i liked the 87-93 GT bodies alot better but LX is lighter.
I never ran against his Stanng cause i didnt have my 951 back than. i had me a nice slow $800 914 which he wanted me to put a V8 in and main reason for not doing a swap was to me it wasnt worth puttint the money into it. I just wanted a fun car to take around corners and slide around.
The WS6 vid wasnt as exciting as the others. to me it looked like he spanked you but cant say for sure since i wasnt there and its hard to tell with a camcorder. The most exciting part of that vid for me was you getting hyped up saying: "4:10 over and over" Keep the vids coming love to see the vid og you runnin a Vette. you shoudl try to get som footage of you racing someone and have a spectator record from side of of road to really get a perspectave. id have him a safe distance and just use zoom.
Keep he vids coming but be careful.

no he didnt beat me. I had about 4 or 5 car's on him when I lifted. BTW that wasent our only race. I can't upload large files on my server for some reason even though I have 200mb. Anyways we raced 4 times that night....every time was the same out come. The only reason I put that mis communication run is was becasue I wanted people to see just how fast his car was from a slow roll. I lifted because I didn't know who was supposed to be honking......and he left....I wanted to show this wasent a slow car I was racing so I made sure I put it in the video. If you want I guess I could post the other run's with him that night for referrence. I never race anyone just once..lol

I think everybody is looking at the fly by the T/A maid before the race. Looks like you pulled 2.5 cars on him till he ran out of gears. Your car seams to be very fast and a good driver to boot. Show us the Z06.
