lol mines been beat to death...160K on the clock, still stock internals and stilll runs like a champ...also I still beat on it lmao...

put in my monster lvl 3 clutch today ( first clutch change since it came off the lot ) and just picked up my tick performance lvl 2 rebuilt T-56....

I only did that cause previous owner had damaged the tranny and clutch but motor wise, shes as good as gold!

IMO, LS1 cars easily take the abuse...this is my first F-body and my budy has an '99 SS T-rex cammed on 150 shot, he beats it worse than I do, he has 90k and never an issues...

5 minute rev limter sessions and 6000rpm clutch dumps all day will never effect it. LS1 cars are ricer driver proof. Oh and 10 bolts never break.

Sorry I felt like being a smart a** for a moment. LS1 cars hold up fine if your reasonable with them.
