Yeah, cars like SRT-4's, Lightnings, 5.0L / 4.6L Stangs (except '03/'04 SVT Cobras), and LT1's, all become prey when you've got an LS1!
That is, until they show up with mods and a competent driver
. Stock vs. stock "anything", a bad move on your part could lose you a race, but otherwise, the only cars you know you can't beat (unless THEY blow their run) are Z06's, C6's, '05+ GTO's, '03/'04 SVT Cobras, and Vipers
. Pretty much anything else is fair game
.
But again, throw some mods onto any of the other cars, and the tables can turn quick. The real difference is that you've already got a ~13-second car without doing any mods to it, whereas other cars have to mod to keep up. Throw some money into your car though, and now you're into the 12-second, 11-second, 10-second club!!

Well, I have no personal experience (since they're banned from Canada because of !5mph bumpers
) but anyway, just figuring that with 400 HP, they should be good for at least high 12's on a regular basis?
