A japanese **** box with a 2JZ probably has more value than your car...

On top of that, that japanese **** box with a 2JZ has more potential and may very well be faster than what you own... That doesn't say too much about your car now, does it??

So why don't you just drive that LT1 back up into the mountains where ya came from, and work on that ignorance problem of yours before posting.

**** you and your import loving friends, Why would you come on a forum such as ls1tech, and brag up imports, who gives a **** if they are more expensive than a 10 year old f-body, you must not know TOO much about them as you said "probably has more value"

And lets not talk about "potential", if you would get your head out of your *** you could look around and see that there are a **** load of fast lt1 cars (mine definitely isn't one of them, but if I wanted it to be, it would). And **** your LT1 bashing, the lt1 is a great motor, and at one time the ltx series motors were, just like the lsx series now, GM's latest and greatest, in 5 years when the lsx series is no longer billy bad ***, and has been set aside for something better, will you come down on the ls1 guys with the same condencending remarks as you do to the lt1 owners now?

<Warning> If you own a LT1 you probably shouldn't read the following without a good sense of humor.

First off just to be clear I'm not his friend we are just allied in the fact that you are a retard. Secondly, There is a reason people hate the LT1. Let me drop you a few subtle hints. For starters it's a heavy unreliable boat anchor of a motor that long out lived it's use. Yes it has it's up sides like the fact you can run small block heads, but that doesn't help you much when you find out that the heads are so expensive you might as well of got a small block and skipped all the bs that comes with the LT1 all together. Which brings me to my main point, the OPTISPARK. I went ahead and wrote it in bold so you don't miss it like you have missed the obvious potential of the supra 2JGTE engine. What can be said about optispark that hasn't already been said about Adolph Hitler? In fact I'd venture to say it's almost as worthless as your opinion.

And lets not talk about "potential", if you would get your head out of your *** you could look around and see that there are a **** load of fast lt1 cars
And? There are FASTER imports get over it...

mine definitely isn't one of them,
We know we read all about the mad hp mods in your sig.

And **** your LT1 bashing, the lt1 is a great motor, and at one time the ltx series motors were, just like the lsx series now, GM's latest and greatest, in 5 years when the lsx series is no longer billy bad ***, and has been set aside for something better, will you come down on the ls1 guys with the same condencending remarks as you do to the lt1 owners now?
Doubtful, see the LSX motors are already going faster than the LT1 cars and with less time for R and D. Why? because no one wants to change an optispark everytime their car makes a pass.

They wouldn't be so blind with ignorance.

That's pretty funny

because no one wants to change an optispark everytime their car makes a pass.
Every other time, please be correct. I personally LOVE the idea of an LS1 in an RX7, no rotors for me please. JZ motor and LTx/LSx motors are simply apples to oranges IMO, built for two different purposes. Put anything you want in whatever car you want, if it's fast, I'll drink to that

Disclaimer: I've owned an LT1, I like 'em, and am gonna buy another one soon... I just have a sense of humor

I'm not an import lover.. I'm just smarter than you by not being a dumb, brand-loyal, 'V8's ARE THE BEST EVER' redneck. A 10 year old f-body still doesn't have **** on the value of a 12-13 year old Supra.. The LT1 isn't a bad motor, but I'm saying that you have no room to bash another motor that's known for making insane amounts of power and running 6 second quarters at well over 200mph.. It's not your typical 'jap shitbox motor'

You're too ignorant to realize that there are great motors coming from other countries. If the 2JZ was made by GM you would be nutswinging, I'm sure. I'm on LS1Tech because I like LS1's.. Like I said, I'm not an import lover... I'd prefer a V8 LSx motor rather than a 4-cylinder that redlines to 8000rpms+ and sounds like you're making buttmud when you floor it. But, I'm not so deep in the woods that I wouldn't be able to know a good motor when I see one, unlike you... hillbilly

Either way, you don't know what you're talking about, everyone here knows you're retarded and wrong.. **** you and your "IF ITS IMPORTED ITS ****" attitude. Get a clue, you . This is off-topic anyways, if you want to be proven wrong, make a post about what you think about foreign cars... Then, we''ll let the bashing begin

Am I the only one getting tired of over use of generation tags like "C5?"

"...swapped from a 2001 Corvette C5..." As if there were a 1992 C5 or a 2001 C3....
