It’s common knowledge in automotive circles that the Corvette LS series engine is fantastic in just about anything. Got a hot rod project? Drop an LS into it for quick and reliable power. Building a drag strip machine? Grab an LS1, strap a blower on it, and call it a day.

Do you want to scream like a little girl? Do you have a natural aversion to going straight in a car? Do you think windshields are just the man’s way of killing your liberty?

The new Ultima Evolution, the track day solution to all your needs, now can be spec’d with a 1,020 horsepower LS V8. 0-60 miles per hour takes 2.3 seconds. 0-100 miles per hour takes just 4.9 seconds.

The BMW E36 M3 wasn’t exactly the fastest M3 ever built. It also didn’t have the best handling, and the one we got here in the United States, was actually down on power and performance compared to its European brother.

Sometimes it seems like we give the Camaro and the Trans Am all of the attention, and maybe that’s because we often do. Those rides were produced with LS engines under the hood, after all.

We are all about swapping in LS motors into crazy things here at LS1Tech. We love the invariably crazy, zip tied together, home built ridiculousness that is on every other street here in America.

When it comes to the world of drifting, there’s no easier way of making huge power than to slap an LS into the engine bay and add nitrous.
