LT1 stock quarter mile
What is the stock quarter mile time of a 1993 Lt1 6-speed? I'm planning on going to the strip soon, and I want to know what all the owners are getting, so I can compare.

The quickest I have seen on a bone stock 6sp LT1 car was Mr. Mojo. He ran a 12.99. Not a 6sp. but on a 94 automatic with a 3.07 gear, I ran a 13.27 at 105.xx mph. But it was ideal weather. My 93 vert. bone stock except a 3.54 gear and a chip ran a 13.17 at 105.xx mph and with a 3000 stall converter a 12.91. All the above on street tires and not drag radials.

My best is a 13.38@105. DA was 1450. I typically run mid 13's like clock work. Low 13's are possible with good drivers/right conditions/excpetional examples of the breed. 60' on that run was a 1.99.
My Car: LT1 93 ZF6 Coupe.

NO.
Yes. Mine went mid 13's/104 in Vegas on a 5k' DA. Mods are C5 wheels and brakes, amps and subs...none of which helped my 1/4 times. I think basement 13's are possible on a good runner w/excellent driving.

Thats a reasonable expectation. Dont be surprised if you run 14s til you get the feel of things the track is always different from the street. Main thing is having fun and getting out for awhile.

"A little off" generally means slower -it won't match what it would when new...which isn't true and my car (and plenty of others) is proof of that. "10% p*ss gas" or otherwise. None of those things are going to meaningfully change the fact that it's a mid-low 13 second car, for the most part.

Yeah I'm going to take it easy for the first few passes just to learn how the track feels.
