So,

Coming from the Mustang community, there were a lot of Micro-records and "Firsts" people claimed, especially around here locally.

Maybe, this person is one of them. "I want the first modded 1LE" or "I want the fastest 1LE". It wouldn't surprise me.

Since I've ordered mine, I've been kicking things back and forth on whether to change a single bolt or go all out.

800 would be the magic number for me, honestly. I do think it'd be manageable on a road course and can still click off ten second quarter miles. 9's would be tough, especially with the aero, manual, stock LSD, etc.

But, I'd give it a go, for sure.

What this shows me is that there is definitely a way to get there.

This could be a good car for the One Lap of America. For those that don't know, that race takes place at several road course and drag race venues and requires you to drive the car between venues.

Some people like to do it all.

The owner actually plans to track the car but he wanted more horsepower. So this should end all rumors and speculations. It doesn't matter what you guys would/wouldn't do. Half of you guys have 600+ HP sports cars and never hit 100MPH.

This is like saying if you just wanted to have sex get a hooker instead of having sex with Georgia Salpa

I could be biased though. I bought a 1998 WS6 1LE brand new (one of 14 made in 1998) and turned it into a drag car

Vengeance does good work. We have a couple guys in our club that Vengeance did the work on their cars. The owner of that beast needs to bring that thing to Fayetteville, N.C on 30 September and run it down the drag strip at Camaros for Heroes this year. I will have my ZL1 1LE there but mine is still stock. Oh by the way I think the car rides just fine, but I grew up on bumpy dirt roads and air shocks!

I've seen it too many times - a guy shows up at the track with a car that is way more capable then he is a driver and he either stuffs it into a wall or gets passed by fast drivers in a much slower cars all weekend.

The most talented drivers request more power dead last to a plethora of other much more important things.

I'd still like to know what was done to upgrade the cooling system. GM finally got that under control with the LT4, then this guy adds 300 hp and will wonder why he can't drive more than 2 laps without it overheating.

What a waste.

ChadFarr · 08-09-2017, 08:51 PM

I'm sure if there is an issue with overheating then he'll spend the additional money to correct it. There are always so many critics to what someone does to their car. I figure the ones with a bad taste or think "what a waste" should just sit back, enjoy the ride and live vicariously through this well built machine. #NeverRideStock
