BTW, I realize that the 99gt is not a 5.0 but I threw that out as a comparison to how well the cars respond to mods. A 5.0 has 205hp with an S-trim blower it has 331, a 126hp increase. I believe you can add more boost to the 5.0 (safely) as well because it has alot lower compression than the LS1. Add heads and cam and it will be right there with a blower LS1.

Considering the LS1 put up a damn good fight against the new cobra in the new issue of MM &FF for 10,000.00 less.

I would say anyone that would compare it to a stock 5.0 isnt to bright,

the camaro my have been 10k less in price but lets see which one last longer and has less problems then the u can talk about the price

More bad information..............Many LS1 owners at the track have 80-100 thousand hard miles on there LS1's.

Yeah I am sure that 4.6 with a supercharger will go for ever:rolleyes:

They got a high 12 out of a $22,000.00 car........Thats alot of bang for the buck.

I would bet money the LS1 would outlast the 03 cobra in a racing environment.

The cobra is the unproven one the LS1 has been whooping @ss for 5 years.

I replied to this twice and erased both.. this isn't discussion..

Sounds like you are sold on the LS1, why don't you go ahead and get one. I'm sure you can get a good price on one with 80-100k on the odo.

Speaking of which...

Got any news for me Rick??? New GT????? Well???

:)

Take care,

i know everybody is all obesessed over hp an speed, an thats great..but reality people.. when are you ever gonna need that SS performance? daily drivin? commutin to work? now i beleive speed and performance capabiities are a major factor in the sellin point of performance machines, but if you live near any where near a major city thats plauged by gridlocked traffic, comfort comes in right on the heels of performance an certain times above it. 383 hp don't do much good in the 9:00/5:00 grindlock stuck behind a 3 mile stretch of jelly bean commuter imports. Chevy is still stuck in the 60's, an refused to redesign their flagship pony car with COMFORT in mind,..you ever tried to get in a late model camaro?? its impossible if your over 5 ft tall, its got a cheap plastic feel, 4 ft dashboard and WHAT OH GOD IS THAT DAMN HUMP in the floor!!... geeze GM. :mad: :rolleyes: speed, aerodynamics you may have, but competent engineers FORD got.

Ford took their heritage as the CREATOR OF THE PONY CAR, and designed the stang with style, comfort and power; a general all over, well rounded, BEST selling package. remind me again wheres the camaro right now??

horsepower ain't everything people an ford realised this an has succesfully eliminated the competiion in the pony car race of mod priced domestic sports cars for now anyways.

but I wanna see a GM comeback, (loved the Ws6 ram-air firebirds) i've been waitin for a Mopar return since the Charger) it keeps this game fun, makes the winnners keep on their toes in innovation, style, and performance. but seriously people ahem.. *die hard 'Maro nuts*. The Ford Mustang aint got nothin to prove to nobody..:cool:
