LT1 vs. LS1

Jeff's is stock though, nothing on the motor is touched... I think it still even has the factory air filter...

what mods? the car is all stock! it has a lid and air cleaner only. the motor/ trans/ rearend are all untouched. it even has tinted windows/ alarm (cliford)/ stereo system with amp and sub-woffer, i take very good care of my car and have replaced "every thing" it needs. i have been a tech for over 18 years, so if your dad wants to check it out? let me know. you won't find too many in this kind of shape for the price!!

Bump for Jeff's car being ridiculously clean.

Sorry to hear about your accident! Here's to hoping the new one will be faster and the "Right" color
