    what cars have the LS1 and what have LT1??

    '92-'96 Vettes got the LT1. '90-'95 ZR-1's got the LT5. All '96 M6 Vettes got the LT4...and all 1000 GS Corvettes are 6-speeds. '96 auto = LT1. There were 100 (maybe 2-3 more but I believe SLP kept them) 30th anniversary SS's (1997) built with the LT4 and 29 Firehawks had the LT4 ('97 too)...

    I Was Owned By Ls1

    That's correct...the T56 wide is the M29 which was only available in the '93 F-bodies. The T56 close is the MN6 which was in the '94-'02 F-bodies (only behind V8's of course). *The M28 was also available in '93 only...which was 3.36 2.07 1.35 1.00 .80 .62 but that was only with 2.73s...

    I Was Owned By Ls1

    Didn't you already post this? You're entitled to your own opinion (even though you've never owned one) but I highly disagree (I've owned two) but of course, maybe I've just been lucky. Over 6 years, roughly 95k miles of daily driving 4th gen F-bodies and I've had to replace (fix) one opti...

    I Was Owned By Ls1

    You can compare whatever you want... Fact remains though, Ford did not put a 347 with aluminum heads, 75mm TB, 28lb injectors, 3.42 gears, etc...in the fox bodies. Can't really argue that the fox body is a better platform for drag racing though, I'd just be happy with that. :nice...

    My Cobra vs. z28!!!

    I completely agree with what you said. GM didn't throw a blower on the LS1 so the what if's are pointless. However, I wonder why I never see these comments directed towards any of the Mustang owners who say: the GTO has a 346 and costs $33k so it's not fair to compare it to a GT or...if the...

    I want my car to sound like this!!!

    Personally, I think it sounds bada**. lazer is correct, it's an HPE 434 with stage 3 AFRs, 11.5:1 CR, Kooks 1 7/8 LTs, FAST 90mm intake, yada, yada...and a big cam (254/262, .640 lift, 112lsa). Made 562rwhp and 507rwtq. And no it wasn't running thru the exhaust...the cutouts were open...

    05 gt or 02 ws6

    You're an LS1 owner so you know all about manufacturer's ratings. :rolleyes: The '05 Mustang GT is a little underrated...they're prolly making more like 320 or so HP. The new GT is also geared quite a bit better than the '96-'01 Cobras were. Stock vs. stock, an '05 GT could/would give an...

    05 gt or 02 ws6

    Not to flame here...but you fellas don’t know too much about LS1s huh? :p It’s pretty common knowledge that LS1s (in the F-bodies) were seriously underrated, especially with the Z28, Formula and T/A because they were only rated at 305/310HP. Now I’m not saying that all LS1 F-bodies dyno...

    05 gt or 02 ws6

    How much are they asking for the T/A you're looking at? If it's only like $18k or so, I'd jump all over that...but if they're asking something like $23k, I'd prolly go for the newer car for a couple grand more. Piston slap is kind of a common "problem" on the LS1s but it's nothing that I'd...

    Does the 05 GT beat the 02 Z28's and T/A's?

    IMO, the advantage definitely goes to the LS1 but the '05 GT ain't gonna be that far behind. It's easily close enough that a well driven '05 GT wouldn't (shoudn't) have any trouble beating a poorly driven LS1. If you want a GT, I'd say get a GT...it may be a little behind a LS1 F-body but...

    300HP? Thats It...Whats wrong with Ford

    I think it's just more or less, wishful thinking. I don't think any of the "not enough" people really thought Ford would make a 350/375/400 whatever HP GT...they were just hoping Ford would. However, I don't know about you but 300HP (actually more like 320ish) really isn't "enough"...sure the...

    07 Cobra information, specs/prices/due date

    The LS1 was introduced in 1997 (C5). Correct me if I'm wrong here but...weren't the DOHC 4.6's at 9.85:1? The LS1 is 10.1:1...not too much of a difference there. Don't get me wrong, increasing the CR will certainly increase power but I don't think it's as much as you think. Again...

    Why I shouldnt get a LS/Lt 1

    That's a little off, from my experience...unless you're running quite a bit above sea level. DRs, good driving, good weather and a good track (nothing more) could allow plenty of LS1 F-bodies to run high 12s (M6). A lid, full exhaust and DRs should put an M6 in the mid-12s, in the right...

    02 SS, Y or X pipe

    He could do true duals without too much hassle if there's a good exhaust shop he can go to. As said, it would have to be custom so all he'd have to buy is the X crossover pipe (Dr. Gas is good) and let them do the rest. IMHO, he should only go with X-pipe if he's got headers (Mac's or LT's...

    Why I shouldnt get a LS/Lt 1

    To each their own. Gt1995, if you didn't like the T/A, you're not going to like a Camaro any more. It'd also be kinda tough to find a nice LS1 Firebird or Camaro for anywhere near what you'd pay for a 94-95 GT...unless you didn't mind one with 80k+ miles on it. LT1s have come down in...

    Mach 1 What are Corvettes putting to the ground?

    F-bodies usually make just as much, if not more, RWHP than the LS1 C5s because of the Vette's transaxle and IRS.

    Simple Question

    If it all comes down to power, the GTO wins everytime. Now 1/4 mile, I dunno...I haven't seen enough times from the '05 GT yet. JMO but I wouldn't even consider an '04 GTO, I'd wait for the '05. LS2 > LS1 So which is it?

    05 GT vs MACH1 race RESULTS.....thats right...RESULTS!

    Yeah, you've got a winner for those two races...but nothing more. The '05 GT has quite a ways to go before people can start saying it's clearly a faster car than an '03-'04 Mach 1. Until I start seeing them run consistent 13.00-13.20@106-107, I'm gonna say the Mach is the faster (and...

    A hint at what is to come (2006/7 Cobra)

    If Ford does happen to build a 500+hp Cobra...it's pretty obvious that it'd be a special edition/limited production car. However, I'd be willing to bet that they would be priced considerably higher than the C6 Z06, which is supposed to around $60k. Remember the '00 Cobra R was limited to 300...

    2007, the Mustang will have Competition, Camaro is Alive AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The CAW had/has the exclusive rights to build the Camaro/Firebird thru 2005...at least that's what I've been reading for the past 2 or so years. The debt was a government loan and it has nothing to do with when/where the Camaro will return.
