Just like I'm telling you it does but it can't seem to seep through your skull? LOL this thread officially became useless when you first posted in it. You've been proved wrong once, but just because I don't have pictures, it means you're right, everyone else is wrong and the thing doesn't exist? seriously, what are you? 17? A transmission swap is easy compared the the multitude of other mods people go to great lengths to make work. The hardest part is fabbing up some pieces that any decent metal-worker could finish in a day or two.

I remember a similar thread several years ago with a guy who bought a used 96 z28, and claimed he thought the previous owner installed an LS1. LOL It was "impossible" then but it's pretty commonplace now. So, I am officially done posting in this thread (seriously now), but I will save it for future reference.

thats a negative

You've been proved wrong once,
actually I think you meant proven, but maybe basic English is beyond your abilities

but just because I don't have pictures, it means you're right, everyone else is wrong and the thing doesn't exist? seriously, what are you? 17?
actually no, I'm 24

big deal, nobody is saying its impossible, just that we all know your buddy doesn't have one.

The hardest part is fabbing up some pieces that any decent metal-worker could finish in a day or two.
actually no, it isn't. Throwing it in there is the somewhat easy part, getting it to work isn't so easy. The factory ECM wouldn't control the tranny. The factory tranny controls would have to be removed from it (easy enough) but there is no stand alone controller right now for the GM 5 speed trannies. This means that a ECM from a vehicle with one of these would have to be wired in, all of the proper inputs located, etc etc. Like I said, anything is possible, and right now you can have $200 if you prove your friend has one, enough for you to buy yourself a digital camera.

I'm done with you, its quite apparent that you have nothing usefull to contribute here, so arguing with you is worthless. Everybody here knows you are either lying or to dumb to realize that what you are saying makes no sense.

*edit*
not to mention that the 5l50-e, GMs 5 speed auto utilizes a

"A more powerful engine control module (ECM) and high-speed local area network (LAN) communication system dedicated to engine and transmission control. An extremely powerful, state-of-the-art ECM, with a 16-bit, 24 MHz dual microprocessor, high memory capacity"

which won't be compatible with the factory sensors, pretty much making it useless with the factory fbody sensors without some major electrical work.

Also, the transmission is not directly bolted to the engine it uses a torque tube and is mounted in the rear ala C5.

Care to try again? LOL Or do you need photos of the dictionary to believe that the word "proved" exists?

lol it's not about physical age, it's about mental capacity, so I ask again... are you 17?

Can you PROVE to me my friend's friend DOESN'T have a 5-speed auto in his car? I Didn't think so. There's no logical argument you can throw up here I can't debate.

Re: How fast are Highway Patrol LS1's?

Birchman, just give it up already for god sakes. NO ONE here is going to believe that there is a 5 spd auto running around in an F bod. the 5 spd didnt come out until AFTER they stopped making f bods. The 5 spd auto is a HIGE trans that doesnt have any aftermarket controllers to run it. If there is one out there, make yourself the superior here and GO GET A PICTURE. If you dont "want" to prove it, give it up, no one believes you no matter how much you try.


BTW, you should have used "proven"

Its not on us to prove there isnt one, you are the one swearing there is one. we cant prove there isnt one, but you should be able to prove there is one. SO, if there is one and you dont want to prove it, you are the immature one. If there isnt one and you are insisting there is, you are still immature. you lose either way.

None of what you say matters much, just like none of what I say matters.

Proved or Proven are synonomous, and therefore either is "correct." Don't tell me what I should and should not use.

Picture or not, it doesn't matter--you'd just whine and cry that the picture was photoshopped. We who were there to witness the event know what we saw, you who know nothing of the event where the mystery car was located--- well, it's just that. YOu know nothing, so don't try to tell me that all 50+ of us with a total of probably 400 combined years of automotive experience don't know what we're talking about--yes we were skeptical at first as well.

Last point I'm going to make: The car has more than just the transmission as its mod. It's been pretty heavily worked over, but I don't need to get into that because anything that wasn't factory installed is officially impossible thanks to some dipsh*ts who think an airbox lid is a nice mod, and anything else is beyond the scope of physical reality.

LOL if I was close with the guy, I'd be happy to snap a few photos, but I don't know him or where he lives. He's a friend of an acquaintance I rarely have contacts with, so it's not likely I'll be getting a picture in the next few days. But If I do run across him, and happen to remember you guys back here on cz28.com, I'll be sure to borrow someone's cam and snap a photo or two.

Re: How fast are Highway Patrol LS1's?

I don't think he gets the drift, when it comes to the whole put up or shut up train of thought going on here. I could preach all day about a car that had a W-16 transplanted into a honda civic, but I'd at least have pictures. We all know almost nothing is impossible when it comes to cars. Improbable is a different story. It is HIGHLY IMPROBABLE that your buddy that you haven't hunted down to get pictures from(hint hint) has a 5 speed auto installed in his F-body. Hell with your attitude, I'm starting to doubt your buddy even exist, or that maybe he drives the beforesaid honda with the 16 cylinder motor. This whole thread is like a crowd of people chanting "proof". Give it or give up.

Well, until then...GIVE IT A REST. It is getting old, no one is impressed and it needs to be dropped.

Re: How fast are Highway Patrol LS1's?

Maybe this guy fabbed up a custom gear indicator(PRNDL) on his console just to mess with people's heads and cause useless internet arguments!

We went 4x4ing in the Sahara with a bunch of Jeep Cherokees, and a friend had one of the 1st diesel Jeeps in the country. We stopped at a station in the middle of nowhere and they were out of gas, all they had was diesel. My friend told the attendant that he had special pills that converted diesel to gas, so to just go ahead and fill the jeep up. He pulled out a bottle and pretended to drop a pill in and started it up- the guy was so amazed he wanted to buy some. Needless to say there is an Egyptian out in the desert who swears that there are pills that convert Diesel to gasoline and he saw it work with his own eyes. I laugh every time I think about it!

Re: How fast are Highway Patrol LS1's?

LOL the dude isn't my friend nor am I trying to impress anyone, we've exchanged a few words once or twice, which is why I can't hunt him down. If I knew him well, and knew his name or where he lived it would be a diff. story. I don't see why everything has to be such a controversy. I simply made a statement, and people start having a fit over it. I can't prove anything until I get a picture, and you guys can't DISprove anything. So let's ALL give it a rest.

Re: How fast are Highway Patrol LS1's?

Birchman98z :STFU:
"and my friend's LS1 interceptor is good for nothing better than stock times.
One thing that DOES confuse me is that his LS1 ex-cop car seems to have a 5 speed auto.
The car has more than just the transmission as its mod. It's been pretty heavily worked over
he's not a good friend, but he IS a police officer, and I get to talk to him once in a while
The guy isn't a personal friend of mine, I see him maybe once a year.
head to any car show and you'll find hundreds of cars with mods that weren't intended for the car they're on.
He's a friend of an acquaintance I rarely have contacts with,"

SO he's not a friend! Get your story straight before you argue. It's ok to tell us you saw someone at a car show with this modded to hell fbody, and you don't know anything but that they said it had a five speed Tranny.

You may retaliate sure go ahead, the friend not a friend should be easy to wiggle out of. But the stock times being heavily modded might be a little harder. Then again I've never tried to get my head back out once it's that far up my a$$.

You came into this forum to antagonize if not, you should try next time not just saying that it seemed to have a five speed. But to say you saw a police officer who owned a Camaro, which was highly modded and had a five speed auto.


Next we can do the same little discussion of age, maturity, and amount of Education. Well I'll throw you a bone, I'm going to med school this coming year,I've Already been accepted so if your on this board in a few years then lets discuss salary.
I've been up all night don't care if I screwed up my typing, but I'm sure not going to get in an argument with someone chasing their tail.
