You better hope to the Almighty you destroy my best ET's effortlessly or you'll never read the end of it.
Ran out of sig space, my promise of 10s be back once my stall sells .

Don't worry, it'll not only go 10s but the first time down the track shakedown run will be quicker then your PB .

Hell, the car itself has already been faster then most of your runs with the stock shortblock, and I'll be giving it a fresh new engine with another ~200hp .

PS: NEVER go full retard!!! .

I dont know about him but my LT1 is my pride and joy! I liked them since the day they came out love the styling of the cars and a Formula WS6 was my dream car way back when they were brand new.

I can honestly say the same man ! Ive always loved Camaros ever since
I was 6 years old . When the 93 came out I was head over heels in love
with the styling , performance , and LT1 . It was honestly my dream car
and whenever I would see one on the road or a dealers lot my heart would
skip a beat . I still feel that way to this day and it will never change . I love
all F cars but the LT1 is where my hearts at . Theres no denial or jealousy ,
**** I could have purchased 10 LS1's plus mods for them all with the money
I have poured into my Camaro over the past 12 years . Some people have
the drive for different things . Not everyone HAS to like the LS1 because
its a better design , faster , etc .

You posting from a phone? lol

I like both. The Ls1 makes power easier for cheaper and is easier to work on. I helped a buddy with headers on his lt1 and plugs. Dont wanna do that again.

I like the sound of LT1s better, until I put a hooker catback on my Ls1, sounds great and gives it a different sounds. Magnaflow and everything else sounds like *** on a ls.
Im really starting to dig the lt1 birds alot more than the ls1 birds.

As far as Camaros go I lke the Ls1 cars a lot more, but a nice Lt1 car is very cool as well.

In this case I suppose pride and joy is the wrong description. I guess ignorance in a lot of cases, you know, people thinking that the LT1 is where it's at and it's the end all be all, even though it's 2011... If they weren't so cocky it wouldn't be a problem. Even though LT1 styling is better, the engine is nothing to get worked up about today.

Hell, I'd still kill for a LT1 C4, or even an L98. Those were the top of the hill when I was a kid. When the C5's came out, well lets just say awestruck describes it perfectly.

If you blow a block because of N2O, would you blame it on block strength or engine reliability? Learn to use words that are accurate.
Reliability applies to the engine through day to day use.
Strength describes block strength. I.E.; Iron Block vs. Aluminum Block.

Great times what was done to it?

Again I never said the LT1 was a better motor but the LT1 is NOT far behind an LS1. I also love how people throw in LSX motors in when the conversation is about engines that came in our cars.

this thread will never end IMO... it all comes down to "what does the owner want?"

if he wants his LT1.. then let him be, mine has proven itself over and over.. and i love it..no ls1 is going to change that.

granted my next dream car is a Z06.. but that does not mean i am trading mine in or selling it.

The last time I was out I ran what your stock short block did at 96mph. Do your homework, son.

I dont think anyone believes that but they are damn capable and will go 7s which is plenty fast for me.

Go ahead man, talk ****, I'm done gettin pissed off, all I'm doing is lowering myself to your level, and I know I'm a better person than that. Its sad that your that miserable with life that you have to try and make others just as miserable as yours.

Btw, what is your best time again? Wasn't it like high 12's or something? I just want to know so I can build my car to go faster than yours, it shouldn't take much.

You got it wrong man..you got to get more Cubic Inches and run slower..

Mine is still fast cause I havent done it up with that Solid Roller high-rpm ****..I bet when I got that route it'll be so bad *** that I'll need a decimal in the Engine size.

It's the internet.

If it really gets to you that much, I feel sorry for the people that associate with you in real life.
