sorry i found that funny. while the LS2 isnt junk, the BM motor in my last car (3400 in my grand am) was known for having issues from 99-04, as well as all other GM 60 degree V6 motors from 96 until 04, with a leaky lower intake gasket.

sorry, had to hit that tangent.

the LS2 GTO is a sweet car. i had one all ready to go (contract signed) and the dealer tried to screw me, so i later bought my 01 z28. while I have no regrets, i would have probably enjoyed the GTO more.

And youre comment about the GTO is because they are girths.
Put an LS2 in the same fbody, and bye bye.


So.. most people would agree that anyone on here with a 350Z, or something that isn't American is rice?
I dont think so.
The people on here respect a fast car, and owning a foreign car does not make you rice.
You can rice out a Camaro just as easy as you can a Civic.

Learn to accept certain facts, and most of all, grow up!
That quote is in my sig so people can see how immature he is. And youre not far behind.
Some of you guys get so caught up in this "LS1 owns all crap" you lose touch of reality.
if this were true why not change the name of the site to ls1/importtech.most people on here have lsx vehicles or other domestics.not imports if they do so be it.i used to own imports yeah they are good cars but cant handle severe abuse i know this for a fact.so i hate rice.im as grown up as ill ever be

1. your friend can't drive.
2. hes' stupid for selling it just because he lost to an LS1 F body.

I definitly wouldnt let that stop me as its clearly superior to the ls1. GM wouldnt produce a motor that had issues and I havent heard of any issues with the ls2. Which isnt suprising considering they're using that in the 09 camaro.
6.2L LS3 with vvt. hell yes!

if you were grown up you would have a more open mind.

saying all imports are **** is like saying all american cars are good.....
yea mitsubishis are pieces of ****, but hondas and toyotas are quite possibly the most reliable cars on the planet.

just like the LS1 is the most reliable,powerful,efficient american V8 ever built, ever owned a dodge?? STAY AWAY!!

dont generalize everything based on displacement.

well when you talk **** based on stupidity, you tend to get replies. i dont like imports, i just give them credit when it's due.

did your friend give the goat a chance to break in? also the mustang is al ot lighter. that would be like me getting pissed cuz i lost to a mustang in my Z71.

if you're a grown man, ACT LIKE IT, ******!! maybe i come off as a know it all because i DO research, and i am a GM tech. and a lot of my friends are honda and toyota techs. so i learn a little of all worlds. i also own a mitsubishi, which is a piece of ****.

get off your rag, buddy.

The more you talk, the dumber you look. Seriously man, let it go.

I've driven a lightly modded 01 GT (Intake, catback w/ h-pipe), and let me tell you, if he got beat by one in his LS2 GTO, then he can't ******* drive.

You say you're a grown man and are sick of all us rice lovers... Who in here is loving rice? Just because it isn't made in the good ole' USA doesn't mean it's inferior. I'm not an import fan, I'll never own one, but that doesn't mean I don't respect the cars.

so anyways BACK TO THE TOPIC... the LS2's main difference from the LS1 is the relocation of the knock sensors to the side of the block instead of under the intake

1. they moved them to the side of the block instead of the lifter valley because all gen4 blocks have provisions for displacement on demand even if it's not utilized.(valve body in the lifter valley)

2. the new knock sensors pick up specific frequencies instead of just knock noises. thus, no more false knock codes.

Okay people first of all...that quote "proudly" shown by burnzilla was written by me in response of one stupid **** boy that was doing the all well known ricer math in a thread a few weeks ago. It was sarcastic and just written to make fun of him. Only an ******* (search burnzillas post history) with the intellect of a retard insect would proudly show it off.

Yes the LS2 is a more powerful engine than the LS1. Is stupid arguing about that but the LS1 was indeed way underrated. The GTO has what my Magnum suffers from too....overweight. Stock by stock a GTO (ls1 or ls2) could be in a hurry, even a ls2, with a stock f-body (ls1). The overweight equals things here. If you look at burnzillas pots most of the **** he writes is just to stir things, talk against the LS1 and try to prove how great the LT1 is....quite pathetic really. Thats why he intervenes here, a nice opportunity to talk **** about the LS1.....Dont let this guy keep on crapping out threads here so LS1 people end up arguing, thats what he wants to do...

Youre the one that comes out first calling names, and sounding like a retard.
