Default Why a 5th gen banner on a LS1 board?

Anyone else think it's odd to have a 5th gen up top on the banner when it will not have a LS1 in it? If you ask me it needs to be a 4th gen since 95% of the board owns them....

Simple -- we're not a site that has ever sat around looking backward, we've always been at the forefront of LSx ... Most of the records, new technology, etc. have been set and created by our members and sponsors.

Honest reason? I created that graphic to let our members and GM know that this site is still going to be the #1 place to cover the 2010+ Camaro when it comes to racing and modifying them. A few other 5th gen sites sprung up shortly after the photos were released, but we know that our members will still be the diehard modifying/racing types to get their hands on these cars. Hence the front-mount intercooler I put on the graphic, that is your first intercooled 5th gen. See, I've already begun modifying mine and I haven't even bought it yet

Also, remember that LS1TECH was the first place in the world to show the Concept Camaro photos, even though that caused a media ****-storm. We had offers from all of the big name auto magazines to 'buy' those leaked photos, and turned them all down.

That's what I always wondered. Figured it was something like that.

Not odd at all. I love that this is an LSX based site. Even though it has more than just LSX info on here. I look forward to seeing what the 5th generation Camaro brings to the table performance wise.
