In my personal experience, alot of LS1 guys can be complete ******** about LT1's, maybe worse than the Ford fanboys.
I don't see what the big deal is, they run 13's on stock power alone.
Anyways, I drive it because I like the way it looks, and the low end power is perfect for the street, and it sounds alot beefier than an LS1 too. If I had wanted an LS1 I would have bought one. LT1 guys chose to be LT1 owners, that's the thing about us.
One of my friends with an LS1 very accurately described the LT1 as a modern SBC that is basically fuel injected, aside from the reverse cooling.

I liek the LT1 Camaro look ALOT better than the LS1 Camaro look. The pointed nose looks so much more agressive than the opened one. The LS1 Camaro looks like a catfish!

I have mixed feelings.
As far as looks go:
LS1 WS6 > LT1 SS > LS1 SS > LT1 WS6
I love the sound of the LT1, but I prefer the mileage and reliability of an LS1. I like how cheap and plentiful the LT1 is, but dont care for how limited the aftermarket is. At times the LT1 is a pain to work on (plugs and wires!), but isnt too bad.

I'm going to drive the LT1, and 2 LS1 SS's this weekend. Each have their perks about them.I have enough for the LT1 out right or spend about 4-6k more and get a modified LS1. Both the SS have built motors. I'm starting up a new career thats going to be a pretty good salary. On a good weekend would make enough to pay it off.

I've considered doing the LS1 ws6 front end conversion but for the price I'd have to pay you might as well just get a 98-02 ws6.
I plan on sticking with the good ole' LT1. We'll see what the future holds for me as far as other toys
