Even if the LS1 Vette was a "lowly" auto, it would have shot ahead of an '05GT without a problem.
Something's not right with this sotry because the LS1 Trans Am's don't have problems with our '05 GT's, especially on the highway.
To funny as last night we had an '02 Cobra run 14.2 then 14.0
Most of the stock GT's were 14.3ish while the LS1's were all low 13's.
Mind you these are for STOCK class.
QDRHRSE --> Stock for stock the Camaro's almost two seconds quicker then your 89 LX.
If you put similar mod's into a Camaro, it would still be that much faster...
LS1's are not to be toyed with.
Well, if your deciding against the '02 T/A or an '05 Trans Am your going to get about the same power ratio (stock).
However, with near the same HP, the old LS1 Trans Am's were still faster all thru the powerband and especially after second gear.
