IMO it will take a decently modded ls1 to run with a 5.0 with any competent driver. A lid and catback car isn't going to legitimately beat a 5.0, but it might beat a 5.0's driver.

There is no reason to act like you're untouchable with a stock LS1 car, they are pretty strong runners for what they are, don't get me wrong, but let's not get too carried away here.

"Supporting mods" consist of springs and retainers/locks, rockers, rocker studs, headers, exhaust, intake etc. this easily adds up to over a grand maybe 2 depending on the parts you get.
I cant picture a proper cam only setup for under 500 bucks. Point is mods arent cheap when done right on any type of car.

And the way i see it, ls1s might be beating 5.0s left and right cus there are tons more modded ls1 than modded 5.0s. 2011s are still too new and chances are that you might be racing a stock or slightly modded 5.0. Yeah theres always the "stock" ls1 that walked a gt500 or im sure there a "stock" 3v gt that walked an ls1 over in the ford forums. We all know which car is faster than the other when stock so why try and fool each other?
Once mods kick in, the one who spends the most will most likely win.

oohh sorry, I forgot, it cant be finally; when you have 5.0l, you always make perfect launch against gear/stalled/suspension LS1.

But they were great cars, don't get me wrong, as far as overall performance and handling. I never thought I'd ever want a mustang, but teh 5.0 is the closest I've ever came to imagining it!

The stories here really are funny sometimes. People wanted me to run a full bolt on LS1 and I did. Beat it from a dig with him hooking me spinning by about 5 cars till 75 and I let out. From a 20 roll 5 cars by 80 I let out. He posted the story. Then it was run a cammed one. I did and beat him and out trapped him by 4mph. But then people swear that LS1's stock or with cold air and cat back are beating 5.0's with tons of mods or stock and everything else.
