First time in an LS1!! I finally got to drive an ls1 for the first time today! After hearing so many people say how they were disspointed going from an lt1 to an ls1, i was scared i would be too, but not at all. The ls1 revved so much quicker than my car, and the power seemed endless. Im hooked!!
Also on a side note, the car was 00 Firehawk, the body was actually kinda ruff, several paint chips, missing metal showing through on the dividing bar for the t-tops and such, it has 131,000 miles. A4 with all options except chrome rims, it has white matching rims, but they are chipping and need repainted too. The car has intake, hooker muffler, and a NOS kit hooked up, so im sure it has been ran hard. He wants $7,995 plus my car which he'll give me $3,000 for. Now this is way to much, so what would you appraise a Firehawk in less than average shape at? No experiance with them, and i wasnt looking for one, but just found one. And i hope to join my LS1 brethren soon!!

He wants to get rid of it b/c its about to take a BIG **** I am willing to bet and he knows it.
dont buy it... i agree with the post above, he probably knows that its on its dieing breath... u can easily find a much better condition ls1 on this website for 10k....
on a side note: who the hell said they were disappointed going to an ls1 from an lt1?!?

Well im not looking to spend 10k. My buddy told me this dealer has had the car for a while, and he dropped the price 5,000 dollars real quick on me. If he would sell it for $7,000 i would buy it, since it is confirmed a firehawk, 1 of 60 in white that year. but i doubt he will. Im just happy to be looking at ls1!!
Oh and there has been more than one post on here and cz28.com about ppl goin from lt1s to ls1's and not being impressed. But dont worry, im not one.

theres no way that id buy that...i saw a 99 nbm m6 formula with a tad over 100 k on it and it looked damn good he only wanted like 9 for it or something...id consider it but ive got a friend that has one and it looks identical minus his is a ta so its got a different front bumper and wing and theres so many nbm f bodies running around my town so the cops take a second look at them...you should look at the vehicles for sale on this site you will see alot of damn good deals...good luck and i hope you find yourself a good ls1...

These days, after going for plenty of street blasts in cars that trap 130mph and run 10s or better, a stock LS1 doesn't even feel quick to me anymore.

LS1's can take alot of abuse. I personally wouldn't buy that hawk due to the NOS and mileage. My TA has 134,000 on it and put down 332hp to the wheels

That was my first time at the track with a 2.18 60', and both 02s bad lol. I think the car has an easy real low 13, possibly high twelve pass in it n/a.
