Default borrowing a friends ls1 camaro

I had a 220 rwhp supercharged v6 camaro from 99-2004..

Then from 2004-2006 I had a 378 rwhp H/V C5

Then from 2006-2007 a 450 rwhp 99 Viper

Then from 2007-2008 I had a 470 rwhp viper

Currently I have a supercharged 3xx rwhp nsx

I had all but written off a stock LS1

But I just finished lightly getting on it a few times and I tell you what. The stock 3500 pound 300 rwhp LS1 still has some ***** man..Defiently feels like a low 13 second car and I was pretty surprised with her pulling power..Ill have her for another week or so while my nsx is having some work done..But man it's a fun fast lil car

Honestly...

When I had the camaro I dreamed of a C5...And when I had the c5 I dreamed of a viper..Wrecked that viper and dreamed of a newer Viper..Wrecked that Viper and my insurance went to $1000 a month And I had to cut my next car purchase by 10-15K from what I would normally spend to make up for my insurance jumping up $600 per month..

It was eighter a bone stock 1997 GTS Viper or a tricked out 1991-1995 nsx..My wife and friends all said that i had wrecked two Vipers already and the third..Well I might not make it..So I got the nsx...

But back to the LS1..Im suspecting this car isnt stock. I had a stock 2004 C5 and it wasnt this fast till some healthy mods..It's the shops car that is working on my nsx and they said it was stock but to some people stock means no internal mods....he he he he

So like I said after my insurance went up so much I could no longer afford a 50-60K car and was looking for cars in the 35-40K maket..

My options were

-stock 1997-99 GTS Viper
-fully built 2002-2004 C5Z05
-well built 1991-1995 nsx

Ive been happy with the choice so far...But man after driving the LS1 Im borrowing Im really missing that off the throttle TOURQUE!!!!!!!
