This guy thinks he knows LS1s "chevrolet rated it at 305 and claimed it a "detuned" version of the vette engine...it wasn't the same...i'm not ONLY a vw guy...so "you're welcome" for me telling you about your car, since you don't seem to know much about it...but hey, in 50 years it might be rare and collectible since it was the lowest production year in the camaro's history.....
tell me more about your car...
EDIT:... a x-pipe and some mufflers.... lots'o'mods you got there...you had 305HP factory and probably about 298 after the mods....don't flatter
yourself..."
Above is what he told me about my 01 Z.

I don't know, but I had a similar recent encounter. Guy I work with is into BMWs. He told me an inline 6 M3 would beet a C5 Corvette. He told me they only made 305hp, then I showed him that famous article about dynoing stock f bodies and vettes. That shut him up pretty quickly.

I quote that article like the bible LOL. I have posted that on MANY forums when toolbags try to say how much better the Vette "version" is lol. I also love trying to explain to people that my lowly Z28 is the same damn thing as the all high and mighty mythical creature they call the SS.
