I personally think an LT1 SS looks more aggressive. Just the sharper angles can make it just take the lead as far as looks go IMO.

Lol thats true. I know so many guys that have an Lt1 and they change even the front end and it looks like a straight up 98-02 camaro. Ls1 style. I like the Lt1 though dont get me wrong. Got a v6 30 anni.

A lot of companies, aftermarket and oem, rip off the LT1 SS hood design. Taller and wider. LT1 SS FTW. They even make an LS1 hood with the LT1 scoop.

+1 on the LT1 front end, much more aggressive and you don't see as many ls1 camaros on the streets. Much more rare with the LT1's especially the SS and WS6.

I personally like both. I am a fan of the LT1 headlights over the LS1 headlights. They both look mean as hell though. I would own either....

^ Ouch!.. but I would say LT1 on both counts, I may be a little biased though.

In all honesty I don't particularly care for the black headlight buckets on the LT1 Camaros but a lowered black LT1 car can look sick!
As far as the LS1's go, "Catfish" doesn't sound appealing?
