I think the LS1 blows big dick myself. Another pushrod bending valvetrain built like **** 350 brought to you by a company that couldn't engineer their way out of a paper bag. A company that has been losing market share every single year for the past decade and more. Yeah, the LS1 is so great it can't even get people to buy a car to get it. So which is it? Is the LS1 just not all that great, or is the car they put it in such a piece of **** that nobody wants anything to do with it? I can't blame them. In my opinion the Camaro is butt ugly. That Chrysler Concorde front end, with a too tall fender merging into a short door mismatched lookin 5th grader penned design just doesn't do it for me. Neither does that *** ugly snorkel face hood. Maybe the Firebird with it's cheap plasticky clip on afterthoughts for headlight covers. I must admit, the rest of that car looks pretty nice. Who wants to sit in a car where their *** is in danger of being ripped up by roadway? Can't see over the hood, can't work on the pile. Weak *** rear end, shitty valvetrain.
Meanwhile on the Blue Oval side, Mustang sales are strong. Dearborn has dozens of engines they could throw into any new car and wape the walls with GM. They aren't targeting GM though. Interestingly enough, they don't want to target a car that doesn't sell.
