Lol, plenty of LS cars around the same price. That would suck when everyone would be wondering why that LS1 SS is so slow.

That's the guy that looses to a mustang and the mustang guy thinks he can beat every SS outthere.

This reminds me of a car I had seen at the illegals, it was an ss replica but everyone thought it was a ls in it turns out it was a 98 ss clone with and for some reason a lt1/a4 in it

I always laugh when Im at meets with my Import buddies and their friends ask me, "does your car have the corvette engine?"

I just say its a V6 and smile. Then they hear it :D

Yeah This guy put some work into making it look like an LSx camaro. LT1 will keep up with a Bolt on GT im sure.

Hey guys, I am a recent 5.0 convert, just bought a 99 SS M6. I had a pretty built NHRA caged chassis 88 convertible mustang with a stock long block 5.0 with bolt on's that would bitch slap most F-bodies. Stupid little 131,000 mile bolt on 5.0, made 178hp through to the rear wheels. However, when you got the right tune and setup, and when you hit it with a 2 stage it would flat out haul the mail. However, it needed the 2 stage or I was dead in the water...............

This was my Mustang, and I already love my SS more.

Oh the 1994 conversion looks good........just not enough to buy.

i think people say corvette engine because thats all they know about it.

Its a known fact to f-body owners that the V8s are passed down corvette engines, but this guy probably thinks that someone who doesnt really know their stuff will go: "OMFG!!! VETTE ENGINE IN A SLICK LOOKING CAR."

...or something like that

I honestly think people say Corvette Engine because most non-car people won't understand that the engine is a good engine unless you tell them that. Most probably think that each car has its own engine. I met a "Firehawk enthusiast" who swore up and down that the Pontiac LS1s were different than the Chevy LS1s, and that the Pontiac LS1s made more power, then proceeded to inform me that he wanted to slap me for not swapping in the stock V8 suspension when I did my LS1 swap... As my car sat right next to us, slammed, on coilovers... :lol:

Since we are now taking the "best" Et's a stock LT1 would run then we can take the "best" ET's an LS1 can run therefore it would be a high 12 second car versus a high 13 second car.

I like LT1's but to say there is a .5 second difference is pushing it closer to 1 full second difference. I believe Nate was simply stating that once a race was ensued people would wonder why it did not run as fast as they expect a typical LS1 SS to run, as a typical LT1 SS would be a noticeable difference in comparison.

Im willing to bet that there are far more stock 13 second LT1 cars than 12 second stock LS1 freak cars. Nevertheless, dont want to get into this argument. It's just stupid.

Woops, hurt the feelings of a LT1 owner. Sorry but all the races Ive seen between stock or close to stock LS1 vs even slightly modded or bolt on LT1 have the LS1 winning by a good margin.

That was it. To give someone an idea, in the typical 1/4mi race, 1/10 of a second is a car length. Even half a second is 5 cars. If an LS1 is .5 to 1sec faster then if you ask me, 5-10 cars is a woopin.

Wow, what elevation were you at? I ran 13.60's in horrible DA with a CAI and a flowmaster muffler in my '95 A4.


I'm not saying LT1s are just as good as LS cars by any means. It's just stupid when people act like they're 17 second hondas.
