Mach, how would you know what severe usage is? your not a automotive mechanic by occupation, are you? i know your an airplane technician. besides, Georgia is mostly flat compared to NY and your temperatures dont change as drastically as it does up here. look i worked on the police vehicles and i DO know what severe is. did you ever maintenence a cop car? and no, unlike there, they just dont drive highways all the time. so the car idles half of the time and then they run the piss out of it by hammering on the gas, then stopping really fast. do this alot to any vehicle, and would call it severe duty. another example of how severe they on these cars, is that we had to replace the front pads every 6000 miles! then the rear rear pads every 8000 miles. if you can STILL tell me that isnt an example of SEVERE duty, then please give me an example.

Unit. sometimes hard? do you sevice any police cars? i dont know what you do for a living, so i cant say. but you think cops just "cruise" around all the time? maybe in MN they do, which i wouldnt know, but up here they dont. yeah they are stict on the maintenence, but its up to the officer who is driving the car for that day to make sure that if the car is shceduled to be maintained, to go and get it done. the cops are busy and the mileage overlaps. and here the state doesnt change the oil every 3000 miles, its 5000 miles it gets changed! so just think, if they forget or put off the maintence, it hits 6000 miles or a little over until they get the next oil change. that goes for the Tahoes, and the Crown Vic! you still gunna tell me that isnt severe duty also? you live in a cold climate area, you should know!

as for the LT1/LS1, i was trying to get my point across, not prove what vehicle had which motor! i dont get much into the performance of the chevy's cause i dont own any GM's if i had a Camaro or had one i could tell you more. but for right now i own a Ford, so i research on that. if i get a Camaro, i will do the same.

you guys gotta relax. its not like someone is telling you that Fords are the worst vehicles and others are better, you guys are just taking it the wrong way. your getting all defensive over NOTHING!
