Seriously though, like everyone else has said, the looks and the sounds are what keeps me coming back for more. The body lines on the LT1 style Camaro seem to be a little more streamline. You just gotta love the "snake eyes" look of the front headlights, especially with the fog lights on.

I love my LT1 b/c it's a tried and true block Iron Block. It sounds awesome, and is different in many ways than other engines. I like different sometimes. I have always loved the nose on my bird, and the Flip Up Headlights and Wing just do it for me. I don't really think LS1 are bad, but we just have to do a little more massaging. I will say that the two spots on the MFBA Top 50 Et are LT1 Cars, with 4 out of the top 10 being LT1 powerplants. You can make it as fast as you want to.

Now WHERE do I recognize that car from??

I love my LT1's because I do. Nuff said.

When I lemon lawed my 99 back in spring of 00, I wanted another LS1. I had moved from a 305 TPI into an LS1, and never driven an LT1. When I test drove my black 93 that spring, it was a night and day difference from my 99. The 93 had a race car feel while the 99 was more refined and passenger car like. It was love at first drive.

Default Love it leave it

I've always like the Fbodys.. I've had the both of them and prefer the TA just because that's me.

I used to drive for an hour and half to work then back for about 2 years and the last 6 monts of it one day it appeared at a farm house with a sign in the window.. yowza I had to have that car..

black on black.. what's not to luv! it's a 97 WS6 w/Ram Air & all the options.
I had an 87 HO but the 97 is so much more of a machine.

I'll never get rid of it.

I love my LT1 because I have spent only 1500 and trap 122 on just a 100 shot. Oh and because my car has 105000 mile stock bottom end and gets sprayed and revved to the moon at least 3 times a week. I think that if your mototr doesnt leak something somewhere then theres something wrong...I love how cheap parts are for our cars just a cam is 200 less let alone bottom end internals. I got a cam, valvesprings, rockers,push rods and a timing chain for 658.00 cant really beat that and I gained 100 hp from it by porting my own heads. That was at 93000 miles and no bad signs of wear anywhere so all has been good.
