Most that are cocky like that are just immature, no big deal, they'll grow out of it. I'm too old to give a flying F*&^! But that's just me ...I have friends with LS1 cars, I don't really see what you go through myself, but that's the word. We just have the older generation engine is all, don't sweat it Bro!

+1 on that. I drive an ls1 and my gf drives an lt1. I find myself posting in the lt1 section way more than I do the ls1.

Oh one time me and one of my friends were messin with this badass ls1 cammed with 315's out back, the guy with my had a old halloween mask on and we had the windows down tryin to look gangsta listen to mike jones . I told him ''you aint ready for this 305 baby woooo'' and floored it. He instantly caught me and started laughin. So I guess its me who harrasses all the fast cars

This is funny. You know I never notice it much lately, but I had my son and his friend in the T/A the other day and they asked my how come so many cars were going by me like they wanted to race? I was amazed. Here I thought it was just my imagination all this time.

I have all kinds of friends with LS1's, we are all cool. I am the only guy sporting an LT1, and they learned the hard way where some of the respect goes..
Then again mid 12's in a Hotcam LT1 is pretty impressive in itself..

It seems like I only end up racing Mustangs and other LT1 cars. I got excited one night thinking I was going to get to race a LS1 T/A. The guy backed down saying my car sounded too modded, I was pissed that the guy was scared. I knew in my head he had more power, guess like its been stated in this thread, most people don't even know what they have or can compare the different years in the cars.

I plan on dropping in a 402ci L92 built from a 6.0l Iron Block Truck Engine. I know that would cream the hell out alot of things, but I wouldn't go hatin on LT1 cars with that, that is no comparison. I am goin to look like an LT1 Car and represent that side of the house(I think the Camaro from this gen looks alot better), but I am goin after all the LS1 *******..beating them with thir own ****

I saw that episode in your quote also Corey, that **** was funny..

LT1 F-bod - $4000
LS1 F-bod - $12000
LT1 Mods - $2000

The look on the LS1 owners face when you beat them in an LT1 - PRICELESS

Here is one on the side of that..kinda my situation though.
LT1 F-bod- $50/month Insurance, paid for, Title in hand.
LS1 F-bod- $150+/month Insurance + decent size Car payment= minimal mod money.
My case..
LT1 F-bod + good amound of mod money= soon to be hopefully over 450rwhp, and still $50/ Insurance. Priceless..
