An no I don't tell people that my car has a vette motor. Because I think it's a ignorant statement. The motor in my car has never been in a vette, so it was never intended for a vette, therefore it's not a vette motor, it's a fbody motor. Simple as that.
Dude.. its the same fricken engine. A ls1 is a ls1, deal with it.

An LS1 is an LS1 is an LS1. It might have a slightly different cam, but it's still an LS1.

Wow! You got some stupid friends lol Those wheels look great on both Camaros & Trans Am. Just tell them to take the Vette Wheels off there Camaro's, its not a Vette so it looks stupid too lol That should kind of fire them up or shut them up in a way.

And as for the whole engine crap im reading. Just call it wtf it is...if you got the LS1, then call an LS1. If its an LT1, then call a LT1. If you gotta LS2. Call it an LS2...It dont matter what car your driving, if thats the engine you got in it. Call it what it is...

Well those particular wheels I say nay, if you get c5z's you gotta get 18"s or it just wont look right. Tell him to put the stockers back on esp. if its a true ws6. Oh and those pin stripes gotta go. This is a car your considering buying right, or is that just an example of the wheels you wanted?

yeah it's the one I am considering, I'll probably see if I can get it cheaper if he puts the stocks back on, he says the paint is starting to show it's age. So I will probably get rid of the stripes if I put a new coat on.
