Man... this thread has gone all over the place. I think the original poster was trying to find out which stock model/trim was fastest from the factory... I don't know if he specified F-bodies or just anything that came stock with an LS1...
Of the F-bodies, an LS1 is an LS1, except that 01-02 got the LS6 intake manifold... still considered to be an LS1 though. So the difference would be weight... which means that the fastest model/trim would have been a base Z28 or Formula, as someone posted earlier, since they have the least amounts of extra body stuff, like SS or WS6 spoiler/hood and such, from 01-02 for the LS6 IM, and furthermore a stripper, meaning NO extra options. Manual everything-possible, hardtop (I think hardtop cars were lighter than t-top cars, can someone correct me if I'm wrong?), etc. This is, of course, not considering things like factory speed limiters, tires, etc... I also don't know which factory wheels were lightest.
If we're talking about any vehicle that got an LS1 at the factory, I'd assume it was the LS1 Corvettes... so... what, 97-00? I don't remember what year they stopped using the LS1 in Corvettes... I don't know much about them except that they're awesome.

i was just trying to find out between the camaros and ta's which one was faster with a LS1 in it no vettes just f-bodys, i should of posted that but anyway i was wondering if the f-bodys no matter what one you have as long as it had a LS1 would turn right around the same time. or if there was one model out of them that just saying went into the low 12s or high 11s out of factory, like a speical option that would get one to turn that time that was just something speical for that one car if anyone knows what im trying to say. thats what i was trying to find out

You're not going to find any "stock" F-bodies running 11s out of the factory. High 12s yes. As was mentioned, most of the cars are going to run about the same times. The main difference is going to be weight.

The best i have seen and heard is 12.8s like unit said . It all depends on the driver i have some friends with ls1s that cant drive there car for chit and always ask me to drive it for them to see what it can really do down the track The best mod is a driver mod !!!!!!!!!!

Your comparison is like saying a 98z28 vs a viper. Wow, an lt1 vs an ls6 what a challenge.

I think the record for any f-body is a 12.8 for a m6 01 or 02 model. I think a 98 had "broken into" 12's with a 12.99x, also m6. If an excellent driver was mated to a factory freak ls1 in a stripper car, there is potential for 12.8 to be reached again or broken, but why chase these "records" all these years later?
Note this is right off the lot stock, no change in tires, air filter etc...
It was big news in the month that it actually happened, but like all bits of news, time tends to exaggerate and forget exactly how these things occured.
For the rest of us, if your car is more or less stock, you'd be lucky with a low 13 (meaning you are a half decent driver).
Modded, you only goes as fast as your wallet has cash to dump.
For the thread starter, the fastest ls1 is in a vette of those same years that the f-body and vette shared the ls1. Once the ls6 came in, it was all vette.

That more than overcomes the 1/2hp (if even that) difference the WS6's intake setup makes, and even the 5hp (if you buy that idea) difference in the 01-02 cars.
And have a little mercy on Zoomman, the NEWB's got 4 posts.
