I always heard that the God himself came down to earth to specifically design and build the first LS1. Of course, he took the engine with him.

Easy to make power with. Great fuel economy with it. Mine has over 150,000 miles on it and doesn't use any oil, no piston slap. Easy to do a tune up on. The list goes forever.

94k on mine and it's used a quart of oil every 2k since I bought it at 33k. BFD - oil is cheap. Pistons slap when it's cold. Who cares? Runs mid 12's with a few bolt-ons all the while being a docile daily driver.

What is it that makes our beloved LS1 so popular. I am a newb when it comes to LS1 since I was heavily involved with LT1 a few years ago.

What do you guys think?
i think your "friends" are using you for your LS1.

Bang for the buck, it's pretty hard to beat. Especially now that you can get one dirt cheap used. Throw in a strong aftermarket for performance parts and you have a winner.
