Here's my thoughts. The LS1 is overrated. I don't care how much you love your LS1 1BAD89. I don't like them. I think they are junk. If they aren't, it would be just about the first engine GM has come out with that wasn't.
I don't like the idea of an LS1 in a Mustang. It's quite insulting, really. The idea that you can't find a decent Ford engine to put into it. I don't care how fast it is. A stock LS1 weighs about 600lbs more than a Fox and has more weight for a better launch. A low 12 would imply the LS1 is good for a mid/high 12 stock. Which is pretty much BS. It's a rarity that they've been seen to do that, the ones that have are total freaks. Like most people have seen, the LS1 is a mid 13 car. Dropping 600lbs might get you into the 12's. Unless you have some suspension work, you can forget about low 12's though. A fox has narrow *** tires, and no weight on the back.
