Default I'm Back in Black!

I just wanted to come in here and say hi. I've been a big fan of the Ls1 and owned a couple over the years but strayed off a bit when I got a 03 Cobra. The cobra was a nice car but I prefered the looks of a Ws6 so recently I bought a black on black 02 WS6. It's stock for now but that will change soon

Anyone who ditches an '03 cobra for an LS1 deserves some props. Welcome!

Welcome back. I also had a 03 Sonic Blue Cobra. Now I am back into the f-body crew. I just love all motor cars that make well over 400 rwhp and can run against modded 03-04 cobra's. And add some nos to them and you will be up with the kb cobra's also.

Cobras run good but I feel like it takes a cobra about 40-50 extra hp to run with a LS1… even when they are modded.

I'm thinking about getting a mild stall and nitrous. I've done heads and cam on previous LS1's. I want to try something different this time.

Is there a thread on people who have switched from the cobra to a Ls1? I'm curious how many have.

I owned a 96 cobra and sold it for my 2000, does that count?
