Oh noes...I worked on a car as a teenager so that must make me better than everyone else.

 

yeah, pulling the heads of an LS1 isn't the first thing that pops in my head when I think of the word "smart."

 

Sorry I meant ford in general.

 

That's just funny!!

 

Just reading some of these people's posts in here honestly made me dumber.

Get whatever it is out of your ***, and realize that the new '11 GT isn't anything to **** around with. Are you guys honestly THAT thickheaded? I am a GM guy, but that doesn't make me thickheaded and ignorant.

NOW, BACK ON TOPIC!

I have a hard time believing that the new Camaro Z/28 will be only $8,000 more expensive than the SS when aftermarket companies are selling supercharger kits for $8,000-$10,000.

Generally dealerships are much more pricier for their supercharged vehicles. Now, if Chevy does in fact make the Z/28 for only $8,000 more and still includes a warranty- you better believe I'm buying me that reliable cruiser that I can still play around with when needed.

 

x1000

Seems the same people always start the same **** Oh well, at the very least it's entertaining, well not really sometimes I'm with you on the Z28 though, and on the 5.0 as well. Like I said before, this is one GT that will very likely shut most of us GM guys the **** up! For awhile lol.

 

Mustang owners on here that talk so much trash is why mustangs get dogged all the time. Just stop being so ignorant and starting **** Irunmid15s

 

I still don't understand why mustang owners are on a ls1 forums. It doesn't make sense becuase our ls1's have been blowing the 4.6l out of the water ever since it came out in 98.

 

 

LOL exactly

 

the ls1 came out in 97....genius

 

He is talking about camaro's and firebirds against mustangs. Ls1 camaro's and firebirds came out in 98 genius

 

u said ls1 not camaro. and if you wanna go that route, the lt1 was kicking their *** too. so that doesnt make any sense either

 

It is called ls1tech. Fighting over the internet is stupid and pointless anyway I was just saying it makes no sense that mustang owners are on an f-body forum. Bash all you want about little meticulous stuff I could really give two ***** less

 

while i do agree with u, theres no sense in fighting it because they are quite knowledgable (sp?) besisdes, they wont leave

 

Man i owned two lt1s one auto and one stick.. the stick 13.7's and the auto 13.5's.Those cars couldnt even get out of the way of traffic lol!The wife s197 auto with 331 gears and tune ran 13.10 at 106 and thats the shitty 3v....

 

Wait, are people still complaining about mustang owners on ls1tech?!? Some of these guys are extremely knowledgable and give good input in many threads, and the majority of them have a very healthy respect for the ls1. Why shouldn't they be here? Do you want us to just sit here with all ls1 owners, stroking each others egos?

As for the 5.0, I'm very excited to see Ford coming back hard with the Mustang (especially since they're the ones not government owned), and giving the powerplant to a GT no less rather than making a Mach 1 or something like that. I'm still a diehard GM guy, but nothing wrong with a little healthy competition

Will be interesting to see how GM responds. Would also like to see the Challenger drop a few pounds and $$$ so they can get in on all the fun too

 

Where r u getting a stick running a 13.7 and slower than the auto? I ran a 13.5 on shitty tires stock. And that was at 2500 ft elevation. With some decent tires on a manual people that can drive decent usually run 13.1-13.3 stock. They have ran 12's stock before. Autos with some decent tires run 13.2-13.4 stock.

 

a stock lt1 fbody DOES NOT run a 13.1-13.3. that may be the record but it is certainly not anywhere close to average. the word "many" should no where close to that.

as for the s197s, i was comparing cars of similar years. in that respect, the gt hasnt beat the f body since the foxes

 

I thought you wur talking ls1.. Why did you bring up lt1 or did you mean ls1? Because lt1's cant break into the 13's stock at the track

When I went to the track my first run was a 14.2 and I spun through first. The rest of the night I had to launch it very slow and ease into it and got the spinning down enuf to were I ran a 13.5. If I had drag radials or atleast some real good street tires (not my 245 prime wells) LOL, than im sure I could have ran a 13.3 stock. Thats at 2500 ft. If I could get down to sea level thats a good 13.1 and that was my first time at the track!
