    Default Ls1 quarter mile times.

    Just wondering if anyone knows the quarter mile times for a stock VY SS auto?

    Does 0-100 in 7.17 seconds and
    1/4 mile in 15.28 @ 148.8 km/h
    Sound about right?

    Just wanting to know as tried this iPhone app Dinolocious and just wanted to see how close it is, I know against the track times is the proper way, just interested that's all.

    Oh ok so not to bad then, it said 161kw as well with bout 90- 95% throttle, cars pulling bout 184rwkw on a dyno.

    I'll try again with full throttle if I can, close enough for me though as an estimate.

    yeh will have to go to the track and see what i get there then compare it, first one i tried with it i had the auto in normal mode and backed of early then put it in power mode and i backed of a little at the end but not much, but will give it another crack. wasn't sure what they run standard, had a look in the time slips section but couldn't find one for a ls1.

    If they run in the 15's then virtually on par.

    Yeh I wouldn't mind going to Calder one night/day just to see what it actually does, anyone know if it's still on or when? Have heard it is and heard it isn't.

    your ss wouldn't be stock if it's running 13's, an ss with a mafless tune is just hitting very high 13 flat 14

    my WH caprice when it was a bog stocker ran a 14.2@98mph, and its alot heavier than your SS so id say you would get around a 14 flat

    When your cam goes in it will be low 12s

    just got to stop being lazy and put it in haha although now with the fuel prices going up and the Aussie dollar so strong against the American dollar thinking of going a slightly bigger cam, putting some fresh pistons and rods in and doing the heads. As its definitely not going to be a daily anymore and only see weekends and long trips, talking to a couple of places to get some ideas.
    And when i buy a house it definitely wont be a daily drive car as wont be as close to work as i am now, i have a 4cyl i drive to work atm so thinking of finding out what parts i need and sourcing them from the states as its cheaper than here atm and go the full lot over winter, will know in the next week or so which direction i'm going after discussions with a couple of places.

    Depending on weather condition and what not to how quick it will run stock, but a very low 14 stock should be achievable depending on driver.

    I would be hoping for a low 11 on a cam change. Having previously had a VY SS that ran 11.95 @ 115mph on an unopened LS1

    I did a 13.5 @ 105mph with an intake, tune and exhaust on a heavy WH. If you can't do a 14 flat with a VY SS you aren't trying hard enough.
    I consider a stock motor with an aftermarket exhaust system a stocker.

    aftermarket exhaust system isn't a stocker now is it. a stock standard car is how it rolls of the production line

    Err... It isn't going to make .2 of a second difference down the 1/4mile. And the engine is still standard.
    Standard cam, compression, heads. A set of pipes isn't going to make much difference. Herp herp.

    Its the 1st mod because as nemesis said people like there 8 to sound like it, an im with soop an exhaust on a stock engine is gonna do #### all to your 1/4 mile time.
    Take it easy...But do take it...

    Do not argue with an IDIOT.
    He will just drag you down to his level an beat you with experience

    Some people take me the wrong way, Like smacking up Marijunna.

    The motor is standard untill you;
    A: play with the tune.
    B: change something internally, be it a the bottom or top end.

    Changing an airfilter or exhaust system doesn't change the fact that its a standard motor.
