Default LS1 - LT1 Comparison

I've been driving my 00' T/A as a daily driver and just yesterday decided to take my 94' T/A to school. I noticed that the 94 has a much stiffer pedal (and possibly even better acceleration?), is this normal or could it be bad throttle response in my 00'?

I also engage the "Transmission Perform" button while driving the 94' if this has anything to do with it.

Thanks

It is difficult to gauge due to the unknown condition of your LS1 car. Personally I think you have a 'problem' with the car if you feel the LT1 is better. When I went from my '96 Formula (LT1 with 285 HP) to my 2001 T/A (LS1 with 310 HP) it seemed like quite a difference to me. I owned both cars since new so both were in perfect condition. The LS1 just jumped off the line in comparison to the LT1. It was only 25 HP but it sure felt like more.

Put it into perspective my 2002 WS6 stock went 13.3@108mph, my 95 Firehawk stock went 13.8@100mph..
