Manny doing what he does best - winning!

No offense, but clearly it doesn't take much to best a 5th gen. They are near Honda poopy with all that weight, poor gearing, and feminine power band and such.

4th gens are usually quicker than 5th gens. GM goes backwards with the technology usually.

More like bronze years. Aside from the LS1 and T56, I was underwhelmed by the 4th gens. LT1 was a turd, the 10 bolt garbage, and the interior quality was terrible.

If I could have the looks of an LT1 4th gen, an 8.8 rear end, provisions for true dual exhaust, LS2, T56, and interior of a GTO, I would be happy.

You do make a valid point. First thing I got rid of in my old 98 was the 10 bolt and the 4l60. Unfortunately, I didn't finish it, but it ended up being better off for me.

LT1 is only a turd compared to LS stuff. In 1993 it was whipping *** against anything close to the same class.

I have an LT1 in my corvette. It's an unreliable POS. I've always liked the powerband of the LT1 better than the LS1, but I have never owned a motor that had more crap break on it.
