Let's talk about the LS1's on that list that went mid to high 11's...many of them having a raceweight of 3400#lbs +. Keep in mind mid-high 11's is where majority bolt-on 2011+ GT's are at. All of the GT's below mid 11's have some weight taken out too.
Just face it, the 4th gen is a tough platform.

Now my race weight is 3680lbs. Thats with really no weight reduction. Different rims, some LCA's, UCA's, and exhaust which is about 15lbs lighter. Look at some the 5.0's that went low 11's. There race weight is between-3200-3600lbs. SO tells me they have not taken the car to its fullest potential yet. A few have hit 10's but I haven't seen there race weight.
I will say after next round of mods, with some good air, I don't hit high 10's N/A(10.7-10.8) with weight I am at now. I will sell my car and by a 08ish Z06. That is a promise. Well if I don't get booted for not having a cage. But I know a few tracks that will not say ****. I will also be spraying for lower 10's.

WHo has been here longer. NOT YOU NOOBIE!
IS it just a LS1 with cam and heads. I mean if that was case it would not have been easier to buy a used LS1 and put a better cam and heads in it.
I think the point is that he try's to hype his car as it is a stock LS1 with some bolt ons when he has a LS6 to run 11s. His LS1 ran 12's by his sig.

Something being nice is complete and utter opinion by the way. But since you are wondering, I would consider my truck nicer/sweeter than a new 5.0 in certain ways. I would also consider the new 5.0 to be nicer than my truck in some ways. Also, yes I do find there to be something more respect worthy about a car that was built by a person and not a shop. Obviously a lot of the guys who just hand money to a shop feel the same otherwise they wouldn't get so defensive when you bring it up either. Thanks for asking!
