personally i think the 1993 LT1 is the baddest engine/ 4th gen car ever lightest car out there maybe you have 30 or so more hp stock but for every 100lbs u lose 10 hp so really the cars are evenly matched and the lt1 isnt made with no aluminum bullshit and the trans is not electric lol seems like a watse of money to me my car stock just with a gutted cat and v force muffler has smoke i mean smoked a 5.7L gto stock and a 2001 trans am lol so go figure maybe my lt1 is just bad *** o and by the way the 1998 ss ran stock 13.8 quarter mile times and the 93 z28 ran 13.9 so really there isnt much of a difference just who gets the launch and i have raced a 6.0L GTO 6 speed from a roll at about 30 and im not a fan of roll races at all and i he pulled on me but by about 100 i was still on the pass side door so he pulled a lil over a fender on me i think the ls1 and ls2 are kinda over rated the gto 6.0L are suppose to run 13.5 stock so i dunno really i dont think there is much difference from the lt1 to the ls1 is all comes down to power to weight ratios my cars 400ls lighter than a ls1 car stock so i just think ls1 guys would be better off getting a lt1 lol and changeing the front end like i did to an 02 ss front end sry i wasnt very punctual im in a hurry

Ahh the classic LT1 vs. LS1. Bring a modded LT1 vs. a stock LS1 and yeah would be great to watch. LT1's are easier to launch. The LS1 mid to high range comes in its over! Given drivers are of equal skillz. With time comes change and technology unfortunately...
LS1 > LT1 (S comes before T.)
Period! 
Find an LT1 that can turn out stock LS1 numbers then come talk to me.

All aluminum, over 10:1 cr, revs past 6k, and makes 300 RWHP and over 20 MPG easily w/ a 6spd. If the ****'s had them we'd be speaking German!!!! Just kidding.
It's good because GM needed a powerful engine to test the strength of a 7.5 inch ring gear.

one last thing alumnum is lighter, wont rust, and keeps temps lower then steal... what a horrible horrible thing i mean who would want that i mean we all like the extra weight, all the rust, and a motor that sucks a dispursing heat. .. i say just STFU cause you make your self sound like a dumb @$$

Damn I hate that I missed that memo when the ls1 went from mid 13s to high 12s stock with any joe blow behind the wheel
, I see its all the rave in sigs to say your stock ls1 runs 12s.
