New to the darkside? I say welcome to the light. Once you have experienced an LS based sports car with the sheer power and reliability you will never go back to a shitty ford. Well, the rear end sucks but other than that, great cars these are!!

the dark side notion is only subliminal bigotry purveyed by fomoco and ignorant mustang enthusiasts. Welcome to the side of rationality, and low ETs (and fuel economy!?!?!??!).

Welcome *****-Hey! I myself and new to the Darkside, former mustang man also. And I will say, I definitely enjoy the more upfront attitude and power the LS1 gives over the 4.6. I have a 00 Fire Hawk.

Huh good timing. I literally just now paused 'The Force Unleashed' on my Xbox 360 to have an Ls1Tech break. You've definitely joined the light side (and the winning side)

I never posted up pics of Barney (my camaro), so here they are fellas! FYI My friends named it Barney because they call it purple and the name stuck with the previous owner so I kept the name.
