Default Dealing with LS1 people..

I'll post this here since I pretty much reperesent the LT1 still, and I have played with it plenty of times..
How many of you have dealt with the "I have an LS1, so I can be a cocky *******.." people. I am just wondering as to your experiences, cause I got a bunch of people hatin on my setup, a few that I know are cool, but all kinds of people are being douches..
What I had was keeping up with them and that was a "junk LT1" according to some, and what I am about to build is going to tear them a new ***, and look like that "junk LT1"
Probably hurting their EGO...something is faster than them.. and it looks older so someone is goin to give them **** somewhere..
Edit: I will say that my friends with LS1's are cool, we talk all the time, I am sure that there are others as well, but you regularly run into a cocky terd time and time again..

I have ran into that as well, but as soon as the little ol' LT1 tears by them open header, they tend to start back-pedaling. I actually sold the LT1 and I am switching to an iron block 6 liter. As far as anyone else knows, with the hood down its still a crapy LT1.

I run with about 25 or so LS1 guys from time to time around here. They all of course will talk **** until they get this view


Then all is well, I take my stock CI LT1 and go on about my business. and love it!!

lol have i. i just raced my buddy last night in his ls1 T/A 6 speed, intake/full exhaust. ever since he knew i cammed it all ive heard is " slow lt1, your gonna lose, blah blah blah" long story short i won haha. he wasnt happy. first thing i said to him was....so hows it feel losing to an LT1? was it as shitty as everyone makes it out to be? " now another buddy of mine wants to run me with his identical car, except its a camaro. i hope the results are the same cause hes equally as arrogant. but theyre both cool kids im friends with, they just are a little overconfident in their rides quick as they may be.

The Stock LS2 dominates the LS1..but not everyone has one of them either. Walk outside and throw a rock, you will hit a LS1, or a Mustang...
One of my friends that was reading some of this forum said the LT1 section is where people actually seem cool..everywhere else they are ********, it's a party in here
I got a guy here with a H/C LS1, the Heads are smaller than mine, and the Cam is smaller, he says that it will be a close race to my LS2 when I get it done..there's your overconfidence...
When we do race I hope it's infront of a bunch of people, cause I'll tell them it's a LT1..

I love LT1's, just prefer the headlight setup of the LS1 cars. I also refer to my ls1 car as junk because it is junk and certainly not fast enough yet. You Lt1 guys need to go solid roller 396 and shutup all the haters.

An f-bod is an f-bod, right?

That thing probably sounds like a Sewing Machine all Solid Roller..

F-body is F-body, but you can't really compare them to anything else cause they all stomp the **** out of the Mustang GT's, and Chrysler now has the Charger, haven't seen too much of that in action..the ones that I have seen are alright..

my best friends drive's a '04 Comp G GTP and rags on my LT1 all the time. Tells me to go up to the real motor(LS1) and all this ****. I told him that the LS1 may be faster for the most part but mine's paid for He owes 14k on his GTP and is getting sick of it already. There was a kid tonight cockin' me off in his '94 Mustang GT then i started my Z up and he was still talkin' trash. Gave the 'ol LT1 some gas and with the LT's and catted Magnaflow system and he's like "I ain't ******' with that" I told him i'd race him for $$ and he's just said he didn't have it to loose I don't get alot of **** from LS1 guys as around here they seem to know my car has a reputation for being an *** kicker. I LOVE my LT1 and nobody is gonna change that....

Amen brotha lol. They're becoming more of an ******* (if that's possible) because they now no there days are number. Soon as the new camaro hits the street, guys that can swing it will go out and get the 5th gen and of course guys like and me (I'm highly considering on doing a LS2 swap into the Z) are gonna tear them a new ******* as well.

See the real touchiness of the subject is that there not going to be #1 anymore. The Ls1 is the frontiers men to the new age but time rolls on and guess what hand that LS1 a walker and a pair of bifocals lol, cause you a old mothafucker now lol. I tell that **** to this guy that sortive hangs out with some of my friends. He is one of those cocky mothers that thinks his **** is just gold (99 T/A).

I'm glad there are still people like you out there, you keep the cocky bastards in line man. Even though I'm doing an LS1 frontend conv that's kind of why I was thinking of holding onto the lt1, and modding the **** out of it. It's either that or I'm going to the LS2 this winter. But I'm lovin what your doing man. Hell maybe I'll do something like that to my six cyclinder (daily driver). Own there *** in a sixer lol.
