Yes the 1le is not ideal for the strip. Who cares? Race it and mod it the way you want to. If I was buying or building a car for drag racing it surely wouldn't be a 3900 lb car. Lol
Enjoy your car and the learning process. |

I agree with your summary though - most people are unaware of the trans ratio changes, and assume that the rear gear means the car is overall geared more aggressive. It's not, although for the purposes of the quarter mile the MM6 ratios in the 1LE are still superior to the M10 ratios in the SS - both have to go to 4th, but the 1LE doesn't drop as much revs on the 2-3 and 3-4, keeping the car up in the power better. It's really all about spacing, the 1LE has much more even spacing than the SS trans, which has a bigger 2-3 gap and really big 3-4 gap. I'll say it again, a 1LE with a 4.56 would be money in an all motor car!

I think we're on the same page here. I honestly don't know why they don't use those MM6 ratios in all the stick cars - it's way nicer. My guess is it has a lot to do with corporate fuel economy numbers.

Ya bought the wrong car for drag racing , the 1LE is all about road racing . A ZL1 is what you want .

We all know the 1LE is purpose built for road course but that doesn't mean you can't take it to the dragstrip. It's a front engine, rwd car...who cares?

Hence why a guy with an SS had 0 problems buying my 1LE differential the minute I pulled it out of my car. I bought the right car because I had the money and out of all on the lot I liked the way that one looked. I knew it was track package, I also knew that when I switched up my suspension and drivetrain that I would be able to get money off of it because people switch to 1le suspension A LOT. (The guys that bought a v6 or an SS and get into autocross... would they be wrong too since they technically bought the wrong car). And the diff was a no brainer. Sorry to hurt the purists day but there's a 1LE fast list because people don't only buy them to go around a track. (not knocking it, its fun and takes a lot of skill) But thats like saying people that drag race their EVO are idiots. The car was made for rally events. Thats not what they wanted it for. And if you want to get real technical lets look at Arun putting down a 10.5 in a 1LE.

Just seams like it would have been better and cheaper to get a stripped SS and go from there for a drag car.

I dont know, a lot of the parts coming off my 1LE for my drag build is helping me fund other parts of my drag build since they are 1LE parts. Diff covers half of my wheel hop mods (just going to do everything at once while im down there minus springs and shocks thats for the winter). And then all the suspension stuff I take off is more money for other mods. I have not once thought about doing it a different way.
Had to have fun while it was stock. Ran a 13.0 with a cai and a can tune with an exhaust. Then I ran a 12.8 with just headers exhaust and a ported throttle body again on a can tune (it says CAI but I had taken it off and already sold it by that time) putting me at 7 on the 1LE bolt on list with barely any bolt ons. Mind you all of this being on BF Goodrich All Season tires. Spinning out the hole no burnout [wanted to make sure I babied that diff]. And now I'm about to get back a beast of a car. My boy 1LEric is 13 on the m6 anything goes list which isn't bad at all for the basic mods he has. Im sure a lot of people would be salty if they came with us to the drag strip. 4 1LE's. 1 ProCharged, 1 LSA swapped, 1 ECS Paxton Novi 1500, and 1 All Motor. All street cars, all daily driven, and all putting down good times and having fun. If we are to go by everyone else's logic. NOBODY should drag race a 5th gen camaro because you can get earlier body styles that are much lighter and have a lot more parts you can get to lighten them up. But I am perfectly fine with a flying refrigerator. I will hand out that gapplesauce all day.
