haha that is quite the question.. a 505 HP engine vs. a 325 HP engine.. The LS7 is basically going to dominate over the LS1 in every way..including all other "stock" engines.. I keep reading up on them and they are just crazy.. easily will run mid 11's with no mods.. Yea its a $65,000 car, but compare that 1/4 mile time to a ferrari enzo that runs 11.0's for a million dollars.. of course the enzo handles better and everything but the vette is actually cheap for what it is in my opinion! haha hope i answered your question =)

Did you do any research at all?



Wait, the answer to that is obvious.... No, no you did not.

Here's one that will top the poster's question: LT1 vs. LS7. Just kidding, I am just trying to make the original poster feel better. Wouldn't a LS7 be a hell of a suprise in a LT1 car though? It would be worth probably triple the value of the LT1 car, lol.

yeah there's no comparison LS7 to LS1. The LS7 will deliver an assured beatdown in every way to its predecessor.
