I understand why it was changed. I just think its a little stupid to have a 5th gen pic and call the site ls1tech. If they want to keep the 5th gen call it lsxtech or put a 4th gen pic back up.

Why is it stupid? LS1tech also has LT1 & Gen I forums too.

It's like Carb Day at the Indianapolis 500. When was the last time you saw a carbed Indy Car racing in the series? The name has sentimental and historic value, so it stays. I look at this site the same way.

If you go on Performance Trucks you dont see a v6 toyota and if you go to Modern Hemi you dont see 60-70 hemi car. All I'm saying is if you call the site ls1tech have an ls1 picture even if its a vette. It doesnt make since to have a car that doesnt have an ls1. If they want the site to evolve with the new cars that are out I think they should change the name to lsxtech.

I dont watch the Indianapolis 500 and I'm not talking about that.

You're all not getting it! "LS1tech" is a brand & well-established. Changing the name would just hurt the overall growth of the site. This goes against us car guys who modify, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

We do understand the name is established but having a car without an ls1 makes no sense. If they want people to know this is also a site for the new camaro then at least put a picture with a 4th gen next to the 5th. I'm not saying change the domain name just change to an X at the top of the page. Also if you for search ls1tech or lsxtech it's still the first page listed on the search engine.

I am open to a new header image, and if there is anyone out there that thinks they are pretty awesome with photoshop you are welcome to send me your ideas, if we end up using it I will send you some LS1tech swag as thanks.
  • Include a 5th Gen in the image (although that doesn't have to be the only vehicle in the header)
  • Work with the 3 different color schemes we have.
  • Use the LS1tech logo (although if you come up with a new awesome logo, thats cool too)
  • Not use any proprietary GM image.

I personally like the current header, but am always open to other options

I like the COTM idea, but if the one up there now stays it's not going to ruin my day. Like someone else said the only time I see it is when I first come to the homepage.

Cool deal IB... Im not worth a damn with that stuff....so its gonna be up to the rest of ya to come up with a cool header...LOL

Im guessing that something cool, but something simple and within the guidelines will be what takes the cake...I think something showing LT1 LS1 and Gen5 all at once would be sweet

I dont really like the cartoon 5th gen either. I would rather have a pic of a real 5th gen but I'm in for the 4th gen

If it were to be changed, a banner with a 5th gen, 4th gen, and C5 and C6 vettes, and a GTO, and... crap too many lsx vehicles out there to stuff in a banner
